Tips to Increase WiFi Signal at Home Office

• Browsing slowing to a crawl, the inability to
  stream, dropped Wi-Fi signals, wireless dead
  zonesevery one of these problems is maddening in
  a world where getting online has become, for
  some, as necessary as breathing. (Well, maybe not
  critical...but still important.)
• If you feel like your broadband signal has gotten
  sluggish, there are many tools you can use to
  test the speed of your internet. There are also a
  few tricks you can try to troubleshoot your
  network issues. However, if the only way you can
  get decent reception is by standing next to your
  wireless router, these simple tips can help
  optimize your network.

Achieve Optimal Router Placement

• Not all homes will distribute Wi-Fi signal
  equally. The fact is, where you place the router
  can affect your wireless coverage. It may seem
  logical to have the router inside a cabinet and
  out of the way, or right by the window where the
  cable comes in, but that's not always the case.
  Rather than relegating it to a far end of your
  home, the router should be in the center of your
  house, if possible, so its signal can reach to
  each corner with ease.
• In addition, wireless routers need open spaces,
  away from walls and obstructions. So while it's
  tempting to put that ugly black box in a closet
  or behind a bunch of books, you'll get a better
  signal if it's surrounded by open air (which
  should prevent the router from overheating, too).
  Keep it away from heavy-duty appliances or
  electronics as well, since running those in close
  proximity can impact Wi-Fi performance. If you
  can eliminate even one wall between your
  workspace and the router, you can drastically
  improve performance.

Replace Your Antenna

• If your router uses an internal antenna, adding
  an external one would be a good idea, as the
  latter tends to send a stronger signal. Your
  router may have come with antennas you can add on
  yourself, but if not (or if you threw them away
  long ago), many router manufacturers sell
  antennas separately.
• A directional antenna tends to be a better
  option, since odds are that you aren't
  experiencing weak spots in your network in every
  direction. Point your external antenna in the
  direction of your weak spot, and it will
  broadcast the signal accordingly. Check your
  router manufacturer's website for details on what
  to buy.

WiFi Range Extender or Mesh Wi-Fi

• A WiFi extender is used to extend the coverage
  area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving
  your existing WiFi signal, amplifying it and then
  transmitting the boosted signal. With a WiFi
  repeater you can effectively double the coverage
  area of your WiFi network - reaching far corners
  of your home or office, different floors, or even
  extend coverage to your yard.
• WiFi Boosters take only a few minutes to install
  and can give you complete home WiFi coverage.
  Its best to place the extender halfway between
  your router and the dead zone. Your signal
  strength and bandwidth will be immediately
  boosted and directed to the WiFi trouble spot.
