Your router is the hub of your internet connection. One of the easiest things you can do to make your internet signal better is to correctly place your router in your home. We’re going to break down the best areas to put it and why.
Not all routers are created equal. Choose a router that is designed for your internet plan. If you live in a large home, you may also want to look at a router with a wi-fi extender to reach every corner of your home.
How To Choose The Right Router For Your Home
Your router’s wi-fi signal is sent out in 360° waves. If it is located near an outside wall, you will be losing a significant percentage of your signal. It is better to place it in a centralized location.
Thick walls, appliances, and metal objects can interfere with your signal. Try to pick a location away from obstructions so your wi-fi signal can travel further.
The wi-fi waves that are sent out of your router become weaker the further you get away from it, which is why if you live in a large home, you will want a wi-fi extender. Wi-fi extenders talk to your router and carrying your wi-fi signal to areas your router can’t reach.
