Choose a place where there are no metal objects and appliances that release electromagnetic waves. Metal in the vicinity of your router can create a large dead zone since it is the top disrupter of a Wi-Fi signal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other materials such as wood, glass, foam, plastics and cardboard also create trouble<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">receiving an adequate speed of Wi-Fi signal;<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">however, their influence is less dreadful. Besides, circuit breakers, fluorescent light bulbs<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and electric razors also produce electromagnetic waves to some degree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, kitchen appliances such as microwave ovens, stoves and dishwashers are the biggest electromagnetic wave emitters. You might seem to have trouble with tumble dryers, televisions, washing machines and radiant heaters close to the router.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the router far away from these appliances and materials to improve your <\/span>house Wi-Fi<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> signal. Moreover, you need to place the router away from electric wires. Make sure to keep it roughly in the centre if you wish to cover an area with a good Wi-Fi signal. You can also keep the router above the floor level to slightly improve your Wi-Fi signal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wi-Fi signals can be cast<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in all directions, and when you place the router on the floor, it doesn\u2019t emit strong signals. Those living in multi-store houses should locate it close to the ceiling so that the upper floor can receive consistent signals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_Sure_Your_Router_is_Updated\"><\/span>Make Sure Your Router is Updated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been recently found that the number of large-scale malware attacks is unprecedentedly growing, and the cyber and ransomware attacks<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are affecting billions of individuals as well as businesses every year. However, if the routers were updated, there would have been fewer attacks. Malware can spread across the network to various devices once it infects a router. Even if there is no presence of perilous malware, routers with old firmware and functionality do not perform well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can check whether your router is running the latest version of firmware or not through the below-mentioned steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install a web browser on your device and connect it to the network of your router.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter your router\u2019s IP address on the browser.

The antenna that comes with your router is a few inches tall and usually has a 4 dB gain, whereas a 10-dB antenna is somewhere between 10 and 15 inches tall. If the size is not an issue for you, we would suggest investing in a powerful antenna to boost your Wi-Fi speed at home or office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many types of Wi-Fi antennas available in the market; go for the common \u201crubber duck\u201d antenna with a springy wire, sealed in a plastic or rubber jacket that protects the antenna. Buy one with more gain than your current router to boost your Wi-Fi speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Invest_in_a_Wi-Fi_Booster\"><\/span>Invest in a Wi-Fi Booster<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also called Wi-Fi repeaters and extenders, Wi-Fi boosters are simple devices that rebroadcast your existing signal as a new network. A Wi-Fi booster is quite similar to a Wi-Fi extender. Both of them intensify the existing signal and then create a second network by rebroadcasting it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wi-Fi boosters generally have a greater range than Wi-Fi repeaters, and they perform well in situations where there is a weak original signal. A good Wi-Fi booster doesn\u2019t cost much and is easy to install within minutes; you just need to press the WPS button during the installation process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a Wi-Fi booster app while using a Wi-Fi booster or repeater for attaining better performance. It will help analyse existing Wi-Fi coverage and determine an excellent way of extending the existing Wi-Fi network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_Different_Wi-Fi_Channel\"><\/span>Use a Different Wi-Fi Channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wi-Fi-Channel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wi-Fi-Channel.jpg\" alt=\"Wi-Fi Channel\" width=\"1110\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wi-Fi-Channel.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wi-Fi-Channel-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wi-Fi-Channel-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Wi-Fi-Channel-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Wi-Fi router can broadcast on multiple Wi-Fi channels. Most users set their router on the default channel, which is generally either Channel 1 or Channel 6. However, most countries have six non-overlapping channels, including 1, 6, 11 and 14.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since several packets try to drive on the same line, this results in a Wi-Fi traffic jam. In such a case, you can simply switch to another channel that is less occupied. It can be done with a Wi-Fi analysis and surveillance tool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some easy steps to use a new channel:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Log in to the router as admin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select the wireless option in the settings section.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An option called \u201cChannel\u201d will appear on the screen,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">set it to Auto.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the desired channel from here.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the Save button and let your router restart. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Not_Miss_on_Rebooting\"><\/span>Do Not Miss on Rebooting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have been told time and again to switch your electronic devices on and off by IT experts. The same trick applies to Wi-Fi routers. You can simply reboot the router to boost your Wi-Fi speed. A reboot is necessary to clear out the memory of the router and install the updates required. You can press the restart button on the back of the router to reboot the router or disconnect it from the power and turn it on again. Remember, you might need a pen or a pointy object to press the button as most routers have recessed restart buttons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to be patient while your router is installing an update during reboot and not turn off the router as this will interrupt the updating process. The process might not take more than 10 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Switch_to_the_Latest_Wi-Fi_Technologies\"><\/span>Switch to the Latest Wi-Fi Technologies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Latest-Wi-Fi-Technologies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1558 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Latest-Wi-Fi-Technologies.jpg\" alt=\"Boost Your Wi-Fi Speed - Latest Wi-Fi Technologies\" width=\"1110\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Latest-Wi-Fi-Technologies.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Latest-Wi-Fi-Technologies-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Latest-Wi-Fi-Technologies-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.squareyards.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Latest-Wi-Fi-Technologies-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As compared to the older Wi-Fi technologies like IEEE 802.11b, the latest wireless technology (IEEE 802.11ac) offers better download and upload speeds along with an improved range. There is a need to ensure that your home router and Wi-Fi-enabled devices support the latest Wi-Fi technologies to make the most of them.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While choosing a new Wi-Fi router that supports IEEE802.11ac, make sure to invest in one with an excellent range and modern features, including guest networks, quality of service, MU-MIMO, replaceable external antennas and gigabit Ethernet ports.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mind it, that the new router is good enough to be able to serve you for at least five years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Make_the_Set-Up_of_a_Mesh_Wi-Fi_System\"><\/span>Make the Set-Up of a Mesh Wi-Fi System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, a single router is not enough to provide a strong Wi-Fi signal in an entire living space.
