How to Improve WiFi Coverage in Your Home or Office

A weak WiFi signal can bring work to a standstill and ruin your entertainment. If you have "dead zones" in your house or office where the internet constantly drops, there are several ways to fix it.

1. Centralize Your Router

WiFi signals broadcast outward in a circle. If your router is hidden in a corner room, half of your signal is going straight into the neighbor's house. Move the router to the most central location in your property, ideally elevated on a shelf.

2. Beware of Interferences

Physical objects like thick concrete walls, metal doors, and large mirrors can bounce or block WiFi signals. Electronics like microwaves and cordless phones can also interfere with the 2.4GHz band. Keep your router away from these obstacles.

3. Upgrade to a Mesh Network

If you have a very large home or a multi-story office, a single router will not be enough, no matter how powerful it is. A Mesh WiFi system uses multiple nodes placed around the property that talk to each other to create one seamless, massive WiFi network. As you walk around, your device automatically connects to the closest node without you noticing.
