10 tips for your WiFi to work well
If the WiFi connection at home or at your workplace is not very fine and you want to improve it, Movistar gives us these tips so that your WiFi connection goes smoothly.
1. Device pairing
First of all, it is essential that you correctly pair your devices by entering the WiFi connection parameters (Identifier / SSID and password) or by pressing the WPS button on the router and directly pair your devices.
2. Position of the antennas
Router antennas must be placed at a right angle or in a V position.
3. Router position
Next, for the optimal connection in all rooms of the house or in the office, the router must be placed in an elevated position avoiding obstacles. For example, hiding it behind the TV is not a good idea. Better to be in plain sight.
4. Device quality
A good WiFi connection not only depends on the company with which you have contracted it, it also depends on the quality of the devices you use. The speed that a high-end smartphone can offer you is not the same as an older device.
5. Ethernet connection
If you want more speed, stability and security, the best thing you can do is connect by Ethernet network cable. So you can make the most of the speed you have contracted. Mainly you can do it with your older computers, since they are the ones that lower the performance of the network the most.
6. Coverage control
The main factor that can influence your WiFi connection not going as fast as you would like is the coverage. The further away you are from the router, the coverage indicator on your device is likely to be low.
7. Devices that create interference
The television, oven, metal, mirrors or refrigerator at home can cause signal interference. In some cases, if the coverage is not good, you have the option of improving it by installing a WiFi amplifier that better distributes the signal. Bluetooth speakers, cordless phone, or microwave can also cause interference to your WiFi connection.
8. Turn off devices
It is best to turn off the devices if you are not using them or place the router in a place away from electrical appliances that can generate interference.
9. Old devices
Older computers connected by Wi-Fi lower the performance of the network as a whole. To avoid this drop in performance you can try to connect them by Ethernet cable.
10. Other WiFi equipment
Finally, another factor that can affect your WiFi connection to go slow is the equipment of the neighbors. These can also cause interference on your WiFi network. These are the tips that Movistar gives us so that we can make the most of our WiFi connection. By putting some of them into practice, you will surely notice an improvement in your connection.
