Are you intimidated by the thought of creating a custom ringtone? It's easier than you think, and we can show you how. From finding the perfect copyright-free song to loading it onto your device, you can shake up your smartphone routine in the best way possible.

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.
