The WiFi signal has a very short wavelength (about 12 cm), as a result of which it is well absorbed by all visible obstacles such as walls and doors. Reinforced concrete walls are the most difficult to pass. As a result, WiFi cannot travel long distances.
The signal can also be disrupted by various interference from household devices. Therefore, placing the router correctly in the house is extremely important.
Here are 5 recommendations that, if implemented, will provide excellent WiFi throughout your entire apartment.
1. Place the WiFi router in the center of your home
Try to place the WiFi router in the center of the apartment. If this is not possible, then choose a place as close to the center as possible.
Try to place the router in clear view, because any wall can significantly absorb the signal.
2. Do not place the router in closed rooms
Do not install the router in enclosed spaces, closets or closets, as even an ordinary wooden door and surrounding walls can reduce the reception level.
Place the rotor in an open space.
3.Don't place the WiFi router on the floor
The WiFi signal always tends to the bottom, so by placing the router on the floor you reduce the possibility of signal propagation in the receiving plane of your devices.
Place the router either in the middle, between the floor and ceiling, or slightly higher.
4. Do not install the WiFi router near other electronics
TVs, computers and other electronics interfere with the WiFi signal, so try not to place the router near them.
5. For multi-antenna routers, change the direction of the antennas
If you have a multi-antenna router model, then place one antenna perpendicular to the other. This will make it possible to emit a signal in another plane. After all, antennas in laptops and phones are not always in the same plane as the router, but rather the opposite.
After all, the signal is well received when the antennas of the two devices are parallel.
Other reasons for a bad WiFi signal
If all the recommendations are followed, and the signal is still not stable, then other residents of the apartment building may be interfering with you.
Perhaps your router is configured for one of the channels that other routers use for distribution. Read how to scan available channels and perform basic reconfiguration of the router here - https://enn.washerhouse.com/7337-kak-uvelichit-skorost-wi-fi-routera-s-pomoschju-2-prostyh-nastroek.html
