A. 1. Check your router placement: Ensure your router is in a central location in your home, away from walls and obstructions. Avoid placing it near electronic devices that may cause interference, such as microwaves or cordless phones.
2. Restart your router: Unplug your router from the power source, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in. This can help refresh the connection.
3. Update router firmware: Access your router's settings through a web browser (usually by typing 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 in the address bar). Log in with your credentials and check for firmware updates. Follow the instructions to update if available.
4. Change WiFi channel: In the router settings, look for the wireless settings section and change the channel to one that is less congested (channels 1, 6, and 11 are commonly recommended).
5. Limit connected devices: Disconnect devices that are not in use to reduce the load on your network.
B. 6. Use a WiFi extender: If your home is large or has dead zones, consider purchasing a WiFi extender to boost the signal in those areas. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for setup.
