To Boost Your Wi-Fi Signal Strength At Your Home Follow The 6 Simple Tricks

A Wi-Fi router is a device that performs the functions of wireless router and also includes the functions of wireless access point. From which we can access the internet or a private computer network. This article will help you to increase signal strength of a Wi-Fi router by following the simple tricks.

1.Your Router Must Be Placed In A Perfect Spot  

Placement of router is very important which is responsible for getting fair signal strength or good signal strength. Now coming to the placement of router, place a router near the center of your house so that it broadcast the equal signal strength in all the direction. Don't place your router in a closed room or behind the TV cabinet or Walls. This is because if you place a router in a closed room or behind the TV cabinet or behind the walls the signals will be blocked due to the walls the signals can't transmit, signals needs medium to transmit i,e. air as a medium. The signal strength will be bad if you place the router in a closed room or behind the walls. If you want the best signal strength, you'll need to place a router in an open place, free of obstructions.

2. Lift The Router Above The Ground Level

Lift the router above the ground level you'll get good, fair signal strength. If you place the router on the ground level, the signals can't penetrate from some materials from which the floors are made up of i,e. metal, cement and concrete. Most of the routers are designed in a particular way to broadcast the Wi-Fi signals slightly downwards. So, if you're router is placed on the ground that's nothing but you're projecting the signals towards the ground. So, place the router above the ground level at a little height on any table so that the signals will spread across your house evenly and you can enjoy surfing net with fair signal strength.

3. Keep The Router Away From Other Electronic Appliances

The electronic appliances such as Computer, TV, Security alarms, microwaves, remote controls and other device which is having a motor in, it can interfere the signal strength of router. If you're using two or more routers place them with distance because one router can cause interference with other routers.

4. Antennas Of The Routers Must Be Pointed In Different Direction

If you're router containing two antennas Point those antennas in different directions, you can point one in the vertical direction and other in horizontal directions just like a Y-axis and X- axis. Devices work best if there internal antennas is parallel with the router. The laptop contain horizontal antenna but in case of any smartphone it depends on how you hold
the device.

5. Control Bandwidth Hogging Applications

Some of the applications like video chats, playing online games or using services like Netflix can drop your Wi-Fi signal strength rapidly. Such type of applications can hog your networks bandwidth that leads to slower signal strength. So, try to avoid or control bandwidth hogging applications.

6. Secure Wi-Fi Router Password
