A Few Thoughts:

  • Range Extender:

Get a range extender - it amplifies the signal, making it stronger. Be certain it meats the maximum speed of your router.


  • Power Off the Router:

If your connection is seemingly slow, then power off the router for 30 seconds, and then power it back on.


  • Time for a New Router?:

If your router is weak, when you are next to it, then it could be failing too. If you do gaming and streaming, then get one High-End made for such use. If you just browse the web, then just get one that at least has a strong signal, if you live in a house. Get one at your local retailer.
