How to optimize your Wi-Fi at home?
Many elements can disrupt your modem's Wi-Fi network and degrade the quality of your Internet connection. Here are a few tips on how to make the most of your fibre or ADSL offer if you use Wi-Fi:
- Find the ideal location for your modem
Wi-Fi performance depends on the distance between the modem and the connected devices. The closer they are, the better your connection will be. - Put your modem in the room where you are most often
If this is not possible, consider installing wifi repeaters or PLCs (Power Line Communication). These accessories will allow you to amplify your wifi zone at home. To be at the top of its efficiency, the wifi modem must be placed in an open space and preferably at chest height. You should never lock it up or put objects on top of it. Also remember to regularly remove any dust from it. - Eliminate disruptors!
Certain materials, such as reinforced concrete, brick or marble, as well as many objects around us, such as wireless devices, microwaves, mirrors, aquariums or light strings, can interfere with your wireless network.
Make sure that your modem is kept away from these elements. - Check the condition of your equipment
Preferably use recent equipment. Also, make sure you keep them in good condition by installing anti-virus software.
If many devices are connected to your wifi network at the same time, the connection may be slow. In this case, remember to disconnect the devices you are not using.
