Is the Internet constantly slow in your apartment?

Are your smartphone, tablet and computer having poor network reception?

It is possible that the problem is caused by incorrect placement of the Wi-Fi router.

In other words, the router may be in a place where the signal has difficulty reaching the PC and gadgets. Apparently, certain obstacles are in the way.

If the device is in one of the following locations, then fix the error immediately.

Closet

Never install the router in closed furniture.

Otherwise, the signal will often "stumble". It will be very difficult to use the Internet normally.

Near certain devices

Avoid placing the router behind a TV, near a microwave oven, or near metal objects.

In any of these cases, “catching” the signal with gadgets will become a difficult task.

In the far corner of the apartment

Do not place the router too far from the areas where you most often use the Internet.

Try to install the router closer to the center of the apartment: so that there is approximately the same distance to all devices and so that the signal has to “collide” with a minimum number of obstacles (walls, furniture, etc.)
