Start with checking the placement of your router. Make sure it is in a central location away from walls and other things that can block the signal. Next, try to reduce interference by turning off other devices that use the same frequency, such as Bluetooth devices, microwaves, and other wireless items. Finally, update the router’s firmware, which can help improve the performance of the network.

The bottom-line, getting fast WiFi speed depends on a lot of things. Square footage plays a huge role in whether or not you signal is good in some areas of your home, and weak in others. As a general rule of thumb, you need at least one access point per 1,000 – 1,500 square feet and per 30 devices (learn more about access points).

If you want faster, more reliable internet connectivity, you may want to consider upgrading your router (fast WiFi router). Upgrading your router can help you get faster speeds, better range, and improved reliability. When upgrading your router, there are a few things to consider. Look for a router that has high bandwidth and low latency to ensure that you get the most out of your internet connection.

Finally, look for a router that has advanced features like beamforming, QoS, and MU-MIMO to ensure that you get the best performance out of your connection. Keep in mind, upgrading your router doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have even coverage, for that you’ll need to add wireless access points (learn more about wireless access points).

Wired connections are still the standard way of connecting to the internet. That’s because, wired connections offer higher bandwidth, less latency and more speed than a wireless connection does. For high-bandwidth applications like gaming or streaming video, a wired connection is also preferred.

Although you probably won’t be connecting an Ethernet cable to your smartphone any time soon, it’s worth running Ethernet cables to the devices that matter. The question is, when do you use a wired connection vs wireless one? If the device has an Ethernet port, use it.

Obviously, you are not going to connect your smartphone to the Ethernet, so for mobile devices, WiFi is the clear choice. Remember, if the device does not have an Ethernet port, you’ll being using a wireless connection.

A mesh network is a great way to extend the reach of your WiFi signal and ensure more reliable connections to more devices. It can also provide more robust speeds and a more secure connection than a traditional router.

A mesh WiFi system consists of two or more access points that are connected to each other wirelessly and together create a single wireless network. This makes it easier to connect more devices to your network and ensure reliable coverage throughout your home.
