Find the perfect position for your router
The physical location of your router is one of the most important things to bear in mind when it comes to wireless performance. You'll need to ensure that your Wi-Fi router isn't obscured by furniture or other appliances, and is as close as possible to the center of the property. It's also worth remembering that connection speed decays significantly the further your device is from the router.
