WiFi doesn't work well
Step 1: locate the problem
To discover how to optimize your WiFi connection, you first need to know where and when the problem occurs. The solution follows from this:
- Connect a network cable between the router of your provider and your PC. Isn't your connection optimal yet? Please contact your provider.
- Can you use the internet via the network cable, but do you have a poor connection when you're using the internet in another room or on a different floor? That means the range of your wireless network can improve.
- Does the problem also occur when you're near your router, but when many other people are using the internet? In that case, your router can't handle the number of devices or the stability is the problem.
Step 2: optimize the range of your router
Is your router located in the fuse box, while you mainly want to use the internet 2 rooms away or at a different floor? You can optimize the range of your WiFi by moving the router. A WiFi extender also improves the range, just like changing the wireless channel.
Step 3: optimize the speed and stability of your router
Is your wireless connection usually sufficient, but do movies have to load every now and then? Improve the stability and speed of your router. Make sure that your devices are always connected to the fastest network or always give Netflix priority. More and more routers have advanced options to improve stability.
Step 4: connect more devices to your router
Have you followed all the tips mentioned above, but is your wireless connection still not optimal? Maybe there are too many devices connected to your network. You can't connect more than 10 devices at the same time to less powerful routers, such as the one from your provider. Choose a router with a powerful processor to connect more devices. You can connect more than 10 devices to mid-range routers. High-end routers have a powerful processor, so you can connect more than 20 devices to WiFi at the same time.
