Many
people cannot do without the internet which strongly depends on the
strength of the WiFi. If the Wi-Fi signal is weak, you will be unable to
do anything which may result in you missing your deadlines. A slow
WiFi may not be the fault of your service provider but could be that
your Wi-Fi connection is being remotely disrupted which is why
Jovago.com Africa's No 1 hotel booking portal points out a few ways to
speed up your WiFi.
Router positioning
The
position of your router can also determine how fast your WiFi will be.
The farther your PC from the WiFi router the slower the connection.
Also, the height of the router can also make a significant difference.
Wireless interference and noise
With
nearly every device requiring electromagnetic waves to function, it
should not surprise you that these wireless devices are interfering with
your WiFi connection. Devices such as Microwave, phone mast Bluetooth,
hotspots, printers, and microwaves are some the interfering gadgets.
Although these devices are not on the same frequency with the router,
they still do well to disrupt your signal.
Avoid downloading large files
A
video is one large file to download from the internet. The result? All
your connection will be focused on the file you are downloading rather
than sharing data proportionally with the other websites you are
attempting to open. Thus, avoid downloading large files.
Check if your WiFi is being tapped
Routers
are passworded which makes it difficult for others to use unless they
get your permission. But if you suspect that your WiFi is unusually
slow, you should check your setting if your connection is being
illegally shared. If this is the case, delete it and change your
password.
Replace your WiFi antenna
If
none of the aforementioned is the problem, then it is maybe your WiFi
antenna. The router's antenna may be too short to pick signals.
Purchasing a WiFi antenna will definitely boost your signal and give you
wider reach and coverage.
