Are you terribly frustrated of spotty internet connections? Are the WiFi signals at your home going are not providing you the expected internet range? If your answer is Yes then in this post we have come up with five easy ways that can perk up your existing internet range up to 30 percent. Here we go.
Adjust Your WiFi Router's Location
If you want to enjoy a powerful and uninterrupted WiFi connection, then it is crucial to choose the right place for your WiFi router. The distance of your wired and wireless devices and the line of sight from your main router is an important factor to keep in mind for enjoying continuous signals strength.
Apart from this, also make sure that your router is not getting interference from electronic devices like microwave, cordless phone, refrigerator, TV, baby monitor, treadmill, juicer, mixer grinder, etc. Thus, it is important to place your router at a distance from such electronic devices.
Check For Regular Firmware Updates
The problem of slow internet signals can be due to an outdated version of firmware on your WiFi router as well. So, it is essential to keep your router always up-to-date with the latest firmware.
Updating your router's firmware can not only fix the intermittent WiFi signals but also help in fixing several bugs, leading towards a speedier router.
If you don't know the process to update the firmware on your WiFi router, don't worry. We are 24x7 available to help you.

Next step to boost your WiFi signals is to adjust your router antennas
If you have a Netgear router that is long in the tooth, then you perhaps change it to something more advanced and new. In case, you are not willing to purchase a new router, then replacing your router's antennas can be big magic.
Most WiFi routers come with detachable antennas. If you own one of them, then opt for an omnidirectional antenna. If your WiFi router is having an internal antenna that cannot be detached then you can try to add an external antenna to your router in an attempt to boost up your WiFi signals.
Check Your WiFi Router's Frequency
Having a tab on your WiFi router's frequency is crucial. These days, every individual is completely dependent on the internet and people who live in populated areas perhaps face the issue of WiFi signals interference. The main reason behind this can be due to overlapping of WiFi signals of your neighbor's. To prevent the issue, change the frequency band of your WiFi router.
Many users work on 2.4GHz. So, you can switch to 5GHz frequency, if your WiFi router is supporting the same.
