Invest in the right router for your space<\/p>\n \n First things first: you can trace many connection issues back to your equipment. It all starts with choosing the right router. Not all routers are the same, and your wireless speeds depend on variables like the size and layout of your home.\n<\/p>\n 2. Find the best place for your router<\/p>\n \n When you first move into a new home or apartment, the modem is usually installed along the wall in one of the far reaches of the house. This is simply because that’s where the line comes into the house and the technician’s job is to set up the connection, not optimize your network.\n<\/p>\n \n Raise the router\n<\/p>\n \n Routers tend to spread their strongest signals downward, so it’s best to mount the router as high as possible to maximise coverage.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \n Avoid other electronics\n<\/p>\n \n The more walls, large obstructions and electronics near your router, the higher the chances are that something will interfere with the strength of your signal.\n<\/p>\n \n Recommended reading:\n<\/p>\n \n Fruit fly warning issued to millions of homes nationwide<\/a>\n<\/p>\n \n Shoppers blast self-service tills at UK supermarkets<\/a>\n<\/p>\n
