Improving Wi-Fi Coverage at Home

Before buying new equipment, check the basics: 1. Place your router centrally and elevated, away from thick walls and metal objects when possible. 2. Use 5 GHz for nearby devices and 2.4 GHz for better range through walls. 3. Reduce interference from cordless phones, microwaves, and overlapping neighbor networks. 4. Update router firmware and reboot occasionally after power outages. If dead zones remain, a mesh system or well-placed access point often works better than a single high-power router blasting signal in one direction.
