1. Move your switch

Where you put your switch can have an immense effect to the nature of your Wi-Fi. The closer your PC is to your switch with an away from of it, the better your remote sign will be.

Attempt to keep it in your home so its sign can arrive at each room - or if nothing else the ones where you're destined to need Wi-Fi. Preferably, it's ideal to put it some place high up, for example, on a rack, on a table, or mounted on the divider. Try not to be enticed to close it away in a cabinet - it should be out in the open and away from deterrents.

2. Eliminate impedance

At the point when you're sorting out the best spot for your switch, remember pretty much all the stuff in your home that can impede Wi-Fi signals. Others' remote switches, cordless telephones, microwaves, infant screens, Bluetooth devices, and even fish tanks can meddle with the Wi-Fi and back it off. There's not a ton you can do about others' devices, yet attempt to keep your electrical apparatuses - and marine life - away from your switch.

1. To start with, locate the best channel.

On a Windows PC, run the order brief (look for 'cmd'), and type in "netsh wlan show networks bssid". This'll show you the remote organizations close by. Make a note of which channel is uttermost away from the ones being used.

On a Mac, click the Apple logo at the top and select About this Mac - System Report - Network - Wi-Fi. This'll give you a breakdown of the channels being utilized close by. Make a note of which channels it says is ideal.
