  1. Make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the manufacturer’s software.  
  1. An oldie but a goodie - turn it off and on again! You need to turn your router off, unplug it from the power and wait a few minutes before reconnecting.  
  1. If possible, position your router in the middle of the house. Wireless routers need open spaces, away from walls and obstructions and from other electronic devices that could interfere with the signal.
  1. If your router has external antennas, position them vertically. It can also help to put the router on a high shelf to get a better signal.  
  1. If your router's signal is weak in certain areas of your home, you can use a Wi-Fi extender to boost the signal. These devices are easy to set up and can significantly improve your signal strength.
  1. Check that there aren’t any unwanted guests accessing your Wi-Fi. If your network is open or has a weak password, it will be easy to access by those close by. Make sure all your settings are secure.
