There\u2019s no denying that a good WiFi signal is essential to your internet connection. While your internet service provider might be offering a fast internet speed and unlimited data, sometimes you just can\u2019t get a strong connection via your Wi Fi signal. We rely on wireless devices like laptops, phones and tablets for work, study and entertainment, so a strong and reliable internet connection is a must-have to maximise your internet speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your home or office suffers from weak Wi Fi signal, there are a few things you can do to try and strengthen your home Wi Fi networks. Here are 4 tips to help boost WiFi signal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Change the position of your WiFi router to improve the WiFi signal<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re still experiencing poor Wi Fi signal after turning your WiFi off and on again, it may be because your existing modem router is positioned in an inconvenient spot to maximise wireless network coverage from your wifi router. Try moving it to a more central location in your home or office, making sure it\u2019s raised off the ground (at least 10cm) and away from thick walls or metal objects that can all interfere with the wireless signal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Check for interference on your Wi Fi signal<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the main causes of poor Wi-Fi signal is other electronic devices causing interference on your wi fi router. This can be everything from microwave ovens and bluetooth speakers to baby monitors and wireless security cameras. If you have any devices in your home or office that use the 2.4 GHz frequency band, they could be interfering with your WiFi signal.<\/span><\/p>\n

To check for interference, carry out a simple Google search for \u201cWiFi analyzer\u201d followed by the name of your device\u2019s operating system (e.g. \u201cWiFi analyzer iPhone\u201d). This will bring up a list of apps that you can use to scan your surrounding area for electronic devices that could be causing interference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Update your router\u2019s firmware via your internet connection<\/span><\/h2>\n

Firmware is the software that controls a device\u2019s general settings and performance. Like any software, it needs to be updated from time to time in order to keep pace with changing technology standards and advances in security. Many people forget to update their router\u2019s firmware, but it\u2019s important to do so if you want to maintain optimal performance on your Wifi signal.<\/span><\/p>\n

To check if there are any updates available for your wireless router, log into the web interface using the IP address provided in your router\u2019s documentation (usually located on the underside of the device). Once logged in, locate the \u201cAdministration\u201d or \u201cFirmware Upgrade\u201d page where you should find instructions on how to update the firmware on your wireless router.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Consider upgrading to mesh WiFi to boose your wireless network<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you have a large home or office with multiple floors and rooms, investing in a mesh WiFi system (or Whole Home WiFi) could be just what you need to finally get perfect Wi-Fi signals to every corner of the building! Unlike traditional wireless routers and extenders that only cover small areas at a time, mesh Wi-Fi systems consist of multiple units (called nodes) that work together wirelessly to blanket an entire area with fast and reliable WiFi signal and internet connectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

All you need to do is place one node near your modem\/router combo unit and then place additional nodes around your home or office until desired Wifi signal coverage is achieved \u2013 no Ethernet cables are required! Once upgraded, there should be no problem having multiple devices connected anywhere throughout your home or office.<\/span><\/p>\n
