Ana sayfa / How To

Especially during the pandemic, we faced a lot of issues in terms of slow home internet connection. In these days, it might be a suffering situation to have a bad Wi-Fi connection in your home if you work from home, try to surf on the internet, or anything else. However, there are ways to have a better internet connection in your home. Let’s check how to choose the right spot for your Wi-Fi router, and have a better connection…

Prefer the right Wi-Fi router for your place

The first thing you need to do is to choose and prefer the right Wi-Fi router for your home or workplace. While there are several options for these routers, some will be exaggerated, some will not be enough for your needs. You need to prefer a newer model Wi-Fi router with support for 802.11ax, or Wi-Fi 6, which is the latest technology. Also, you need to choose the router according to your place’s size. If you chose the right router, now it’s time to choose the best location…

Put the Wi-Fi router in a central location

Choosing a central location for the router is a significant issue to have a better connection. Since the router sends the signal out in all directions, you need to put it in a central location to reach it from any spot in your home. If we assume that you live in an apartment, you can place the router in the corridors because these places could be in the middle of the house, and the router can send signals to all rooms.

Raise the router

You must have seen that the routers in malls or institutions are always placed as high as possible. The reason for this placement is to have stronger signals. At the high, the router will send and receive data or signals without any obstacles, such as walls, furniture, or anything else.

Keep it away from other electronics

Electronics can receive and send signals to each other. These situations can make the router and other electronics unstable. That’s why you need to put the Wi-Fi router away from other electronics and large metal objects. Especially, you should avoid a few electronics, including the microwave, which emits the major signal from the Wi-Fi router.
