Quick tip of the day

Today’s tip is a simple one: Move your router if your Wi-Fi isn’t what it should be. Here are a few ground rules:

  • Don’t stick it on the floor in a closet or far from where most internet use happens.
  • Try to put your router near the center of the room for the fastest speeds. 
  • Place it as high as possible, like on a shelf, or you can even mount it on the wall. 
  • If your router has antennas, point them in different directions.

Other devices can impact your router, too. Keep it away from cordless phones, Bluetooth speakers, microwave ovens and baby monitors.
