How-to Optimize your WIFI Routers location.

​WIFI coverage doesn't always live up to your expectations and could even be subpar. In a situation like this, people's first course of action would be to improve their current package with their ISPs. The location of your WIFI router is one of the additional elements that affect how well your WIFI works.

The most economical way to improve WIFI performance is to change its position in your home. Let's look at how to choose the ideal location for your router in your house for the best WIFI performance. 

Step 1: Place Your Router in the Center of Your Home.
Wireless radio waves can travel all the way around the router. The router is the center point of a globe filled with WIFI.  The fact that WIFI radio waves tend to go upward more frequently than downward is another point to bear in mind. As a result, WIFI strength will be significantly higher above the router than below.

Optimizing Wifi Routers


Step 2: Place your router on an elevated surface.

Omnidirectional antennas are used in home WiFi equipment. Hence, they horizontally spread WiFi more effectively than vertically. The router should therefore be positioned at a level that is similar to that of the devices on that floor. For instance, if you use a laptop and a table to work, the router should be positioned on a surface that is equivalent in height to the table. You will perform at your best if you do that.

Step 3: Keep the router away from devices and powerful appliances.

Signal interference can be caused by metal objects and electrical equipment. Typical gadgets that interfere with signals include:
  • Microwaves
  • Refrigerators
  • TVs

Step 4: Prevent actual obstructions.


As previously established, metal is a potent WIFI jammer. Dead zones are often caused by large objects that reflect and absorb WIFI signals, such as stainless steel tables and refrigerators. Your WIFI router can be positioned differently to prevent WIFI signals from being absorbed by metal objects. Other impediments, such as walls, cabinets, furniture, or other obstructions, can be further diminished. Your best option would be to get mesh WIFI and its mesh nodes if your house has too many walls.

Mirrors and fish tanks have an impact on home broadband as well. Scientifically speaking, water blocks WIFI signals, thus positioning your router close to a fish tank or other water-filled objects is not a good idea. As a result of the water in people's bodies, mobile Internet can also be unreliable in crowded areas.

The radio waves used to transmit wireless Internet will also reflect if you place it close to a mirror, which can reduce performance by dispersing and distorting the signal. Not only are mirrors at blame, but also filing cabinets, stainless steel counters, and other flat reflective surfaces.

Step 5: Guard against the elements using your smartphone.

This is a quick tip: keep your devices away from heat sources like heating vents, stoves and open flames, which will destroy them.

Step 6: Adjust the antennas.

Install antennas at a steep angle to the ground. The suggested angle for wireless devices with two antennas is between 45 and 60 degrees. You can set the middle antenna straight up if it has three antennae. If it doesn't have antennas, you can disregard this advice because the router already has antennae strategically placed throughout its architecture.

Consider purchasing a Range Extender, Powerline Adapter, or a Mesh WIFI system if your router doesn't seem to be functioning properly after performing these things.

It's time to consider updating your WIFI system if the previous changes to your router don't improve WIFI performance. Consider learning more about Mesh WIFI. The newest WIFI technology, mesh WIFI, offers the finest WIFI coverage.
