If you are a Movistar customer , one of the added values is that they have all kinds of tools to help you make the most of the full potential of your contracted rate. In the event that something is not working as it should within your WiFi connection, there are ways to improve it in a few easy steps.
Optimizing the Movistar WiFi to get it to work as well as possible is really simple and for this you will only need an application: Smart WiFi.
It is that easy to optimize your WiFi Movistar
In the event that we do not have a good WiFi signal, despite having previously taken previous measures such as placing the router in a good position, that the connected device is at the correct distance, there are no more connected devices, etc., there may still be a non-optimal connection. If you don’t know what this problem is due to, we can use the Smart WiFi application that will help us see which devices are connected to both networks and if we have any signal problems.
Once we have it installed on our Android or iOS device, we will only have to know that series of steps that will allow us to change the WiFi channel of the network. To carry it out, you will have to log in and go to the My Network section. Next, tap on the Optimize your WiFi tab and, finally, you will have to click on the Optimize button.
The app will tell you if the channel used by default is saturated and you can improve the WiFi signal by clicking on the Optimize button . If in your case after the process the channel has not been changed, it will be because we were already in the optimal channel.
Also, if in your case you are a Fusion customer and you have the UHD Decoder or the UHD Smart WiFi Decoder at home, you are in luck, because you can also optimize your router from the TV. You will have to go to Movistar Plus+, access its top menu and tap on Apps. Inside, we will have to select the Smart WiFi app and tap on optimize your WiFi .
Among the functions that you can achieve with the application, there are also the following:
- View and manage the devices are connected to your WiFi network.
- Have control over your network; perform an analysis of the operation and optimize the channel for a better connection.
- Control the use of your connectivity: you can temporarily pause and resume the connection to the WiFi network of any device (smartphone, tablet, computer, game console), etc.
- Restart the router from the application to have your network always ready.
- Customize your WiFi network: choose a name and password, create a guest network and easily share from your mobile.
- Enjoy Secure Connection. Thanks to this last functionality, you will be able to browse risk-free and safely.
Manually access the Movistar router configuration
In the event that the incident with your Movistar wireless connection has not been resolved automatically by the application (which is unlikely), you can always manually access the router’s configuration menus and thus change the parameters you need.
One of the simplest ways to do this is by entering 192.168.1.1 in your browser. By pressing Enter, you will be able to access configuration and privacy parameters to modify them as you wish. Some of the things you can do is to customize the network name or password, open ports, restore the router settings or restore it to factory settings.
Another alternative to optimize your Movistar network connection by hand is to access through the Alejandra Portal to open the router ports, configure your local network, save various router configurations, give WiFi to your guests through a QR code, predefine ports for game console or update the firmware.
