Improve Wi‑Fi Signal at Home: Practical Fixes That Work
Position, settings, and small upgrades that often solve weak Wi‑Fi without replacing everything.
1) Move the router to a central spot
Avoid hiding it in a cabinet. Height and open space can help coverage.
2) Use 5GHz nearby, 2.4GHz far away
5GHz is faster but shorter range. 2.4GHz travels farther through walls.

3) Change to a less crowded channel
If your area is congested, switching channels can reduce interference.
4) Update router firmware
Firmware updates can fix stability problems and improve performance.
5) Consider a mesh system if needed
If you have multiple floors or thick walls, mesh Wi‑Fi is often the cleanest fix.
Conclusion
Start with placement and band selection—those two solve many home Wi‑Fi issues fast.
