1. Shuffle the Gateway of your Existing Device
The range of a typical WiFi network does not cover some areas of your house. Distance between the router and your WiFi devices can affect the signal strength that leads to the least poor connectivity. Avoiding distance between your devices is the best step to avoid radio interference that can be of any metal appliances or neighboring networking devices. Sometimes, raising the height of the router also improves the range because many obstructions like metal appliances, microwaves and cordless phones and located on the floor height.
2. Transform the WiFi Channel Frequency
Go through the routers make and model number and type its IP address to the address bar of a web browser (for instruction). Wireless interference is also caused by those devices which have the same radio channel. Most of the routers come with the same frequency 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. But, you will less experience the interference on 5 GHz. So, changing the WiFi channel numbers on your device can abolish such king of interference and recover largely improved signal strength.
3. Update Router Firmware
Router manufacturers design their software and firmware updates to improve the presentation and performance of their device. Here you have to show a little concern for your device and update its firmware occasionally even if you are experiencing problems with your device or not. New upcoming routers have the process of auto update in-built in it but the existing or the old router needs an update to be done by the user or its manufacturer.
