Now, I am happy. Getting 400+ Mbps in my bedroom and I am smiling. P.S.

[@__-pl3jg]

I perform heat mapping and WIFI troubleshooting as my day job for an ISP. The very FIRST thing they should have done was look for other EM interference. There are several phone apps that show a "radar" GUI of all the 2.4ghz and 5ghz signals overlapping one another. If shes in an apartment then her router is competing for air space from all the neighbors. The solution is to either move the router to a more centralized location, or to get one with stronger output (essentially a louder output to drown out the neigbors routers). Or also depending on how much interference there is she could use a repeater or a separate wireless AP (access point) to get a strong signal in other rooms.

[@mikeg9b]

This reminds me of when I made an elevation map of my backyard using a laser level and a tape measure.

[@nastycricket9845]

A very good starting point if you have bad wi-fi at home. I would say that physically mapping in that way wouldn't help much, but at least gives the perspective of how the wi-fi works. Here is the solution: make the map in the first app. Check accuracy with a speed test in a couple of locations (low and high signal). If you are happy with the accuracy you can proceed with simulating the router in different locations. After you found the perfect spot, get long enough cable and take the router there. Again check the accuracy of the map using speed test. If you are happy with the results you would just need to figure out if you would install extension socket or hide the cable somehow. There you go the wi-fi is fixed. Some tips from me: avoid glass, metal and electrical devices near the router; Don't put the router on the floor or on the window cell; If you have glass doors opening the door does miracles. In some cases, the problem is not from the location of the router but interference from other wi-fi networks. In such cases, there is another fix available. You need to go to your router's settings page. Usually, the address is either 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.0.1. This is noted on the back/bottom of most routers and also the login details for the page. This excludes most providers routers, so you might need to call them for the login details. Once you are in that page you would be looking for something that would say wireless/ wi-fi or wireless settings. Under the wireless network settings there would be something saying desired channel/channel with numbers from 1 to 13 as options. Select any number and apply. Test if it doesn't work try another and so on. Easier way is to check the surrounding networks using CMD with command - netsh wlan show networks bssid. Once you have the surrounding network's channels you can select one that's not around you. Hope this helps :)

1. Get a better router. ISP routers are almost always cheap junk. Make sure it has removable antennas. 2. Get directional antennas. I use a Hawking corner-mount model HAI15SC. No booster needed; it runs on the router's native power. It pushes signal through all the walls of my 4 bedroom house and outside into the street. My neighbours could have great Wi-Fi if they knew the password, lol. Seriously, this video was informative, but it's purely academic. Even some basic Wi-Fi hacks to improve the signal (like not locating the router behind the damn tv) would add content to an otherwise bland eight minutes.

[@champ8080]

Have been working from home for the last 5 months. My Wi-Fi signal bothered me a lot. Bought a new router with 5 antennas and an extender but it didn't help much. Finally migrated to mesh Wi-Fi and have been never been happier. Signal is strong in every part of the house and I stream 4K and get into video calls with Zero reduction in quality. So, go mesh!!!

[@shryx86]

Or find a better place for the router, check the DNS settings, and make sure the router's firmware is up to date. You can also change the channel it broadcasts on for a better signal. Unfortunately, if you have a large house, brick walls, etc there's not much you can do and mesh wifi would be the only solution.

[@champ8080]

​@@shryx86 In fact, I did find a better place using Wi-FiSweetSpots app. But in order to place the router in that location, the LAN cable had to travel half of my home, on the floor. Ducting did not make sense in terms of price and effort. I did try moving to Cloudflare DNS and installing a PiHole system for better bandwidth management, but I was not happy. So again, go mesh! :-)

[@reddcube]

How to improve WiFi. 1. Can you use a cable? Then use a Ethernet cable. 2. Place the router in the center of the space and up high. 3. Try 5 GHz, because 2.4GHz might be crowded. 4. Check router setting to prioritize devices. 5. Seriously just use a cable.

When we moved into our 4-bedroom house I planned to put my router near the middle of the main floor. But at first I put it in the basement because there was a cable outlet there. And it worked fine throughout the whole house through multiple walls and floors, even the bedrooms at the corners of the second story. Over the past 20 years we've been through many routers but they've all covered the entire house just fine from that spot in the basement. It's sad that a single-floor apartment would have any issues. That first "router" was an Apple Airport flying-saucer base station that used a Lucent pcmcia card for wifi. Not much by today's standards.

[@Weaseltube]

Love how they overlook what should have been the obvious solution before all the testing; move the router away from the brick corner into a more central, open area of the apartment.
