How can I make my Wi-Fi faster?

Start by making sure you have a good Wi-Fi signal. Most devices have a Wi-Fi icon in the corner of the screen that shows your signal strength. You can improve your Wi-Fi signal strength by moving closer to your router, minimizing Wi-Fi obstructions, and ensuring that you’re using the appropriate Wi-Fi frequency band. If you are struggling with your Wi-Fi coverage, here are the best ways to extend your W-Fi range, which can help your speed in more remote areas of your home.

How do I know if I need a new router?

Just because you have slow Wi-Fi doesn’t mean you need a new router. An easy way to find out if your router Wi-Fi is bottlenecking your connection is to simply bypass it.

How do I know if I need a faster internet plan?

Take an internet speed test on your Wi-Fi and compare the result to your internet plan’s max advertised speed. If your speeds are close to your plan’s advertised speeds but your still experience slow internet, you probably need a faster plan to meet your internet bandwidth needs.

Where should I put my Wi-Fi router?

You should place your router in a central and elevated location in your home. It’s best to avoid placing your router near Wi-Fi obstructing materials, like tile and water, and certain interfering election devices, such as microwaves.
