How to Upgrade Your WiFi Connection and Make Internet Even More Faster?

The following are some steps you can take to make sure your internet speed is optimized:

  • Use an Ethernet Cable for the Best Speeds:
    This is one simple yet effective tricks that helps boost your internet speed. Plugging in devices directly to the router rather than using WiFi is one reliable way to improve your connection. The Ethernet connection turns out to be more stable, faster, and can’t be affected by other devices or any other factors.
  • Keep Your Router Updated:
    The price of the router varies greatly based on functionality. Several router manufacturing companies unveil software tweaks as an update to provide better speeds. If you have a new router, then the update process is built into the administration interface. But in the case of the older ones, you need to visit the manufacturer’s website, and download a firmware file to simply upload it to the administration interface.
  • Position Your Router Correctly:
    Location plays an important role while placing the router. It means the placement of the router can affect your wireless network coverage. There are chances that the WiFi signals can be absorbed by obstacles like ductwork, walls, and many more. For technical reasons, experts suggest the router should be set up high somewhere in the center of the house. This will help the signal to reach all corners equally.
  • Get a WiFi Extender:
    There may be times in your home when you might have noticed certain areas or room hardly have any network. In such situations, it is better to opt for a WiFi extender, also called a WiFi booster or repeater. They are simple devices that pick up from the existing signal of the router and rebroadcast it as a new network signal. As a result, you will enjoy high internet speeds.
  • Cut Off Unused Devices:
    It’s super simple to understand that the more devices connected over the network, the lower the speed you get. Having lots of things tapping into the internet at the same time can be problematic. In such cases, try to prioritize your work. For instance, instead of attempting a video call, try carrying out audio calls, which require moderate internet speed. If possible, try to manage your’s and your family’s online activity. This ensures people aren’t carrying out heavy-data tasks like online gaming or streaming movies, and the most important tasks get seamless internet connectivity.
