WiFi internet signal doesn’t always meet our expectations and reach all the areas in our home or office. We then turn to signal boosters, WiFi repeaters, and range extenders to try improve the signal, notes internet service provider, Afrihost.

“Ensure sure the internet coming into your house is performing at its optimum. Using an Ethernet cable plug your computer directly into your router and run a speed test to determine if the speed quality is correct for what your ISP is providing and can handle additional users on the line speed being received.”Consider the location of your router.Switch to a different WiFi channel on your router.

The best method to establish a wide-range stable internet connection across your home or office is to setup a wired AP . This can be done by installing a second router or switch in a different location in the home or office and running a physical LAN/ Ethernet cable from your main router to the WAP. The WAP will then create a stronger internet connection.WAP is not the same a WiFi range extender as a range extender only offers a limited WiFi boost.
