Checklist for Stabilizing Your Wi-Fi While Working From Home

Luckily, our team of tech experts has a few tips and tricks for helping you stabilize your Wi-Fi while working from home. 

Here’s a list of quick, practical and free tips that you can implement today: 

  • Make sure your router is located in a high, central spot. The best spot for your router is a place that will reach everyone in your home, and the optimal height for your router is between 3-4 feet off of the ground.  

 

  • Remove any clutter surrounding your router to ensure that the connection is reaching your devices, especially locations near or behind your TV, because they will cut down your wireless signal. 

 

  • Move close to your router, especially during important calls or Zoom meetings that require high bandwidth. 

 

  • Limit non-essential activities, such as streaming Netflix, listening to music or any form of gaming. 

 

  • Regularly reboot your router to make sure it is up-to-date and running properly. Each router has its own way of rebooting, so make sure to look at the instructions carefully. 

 

  • If worse comes to worst, you can always hardwire your laptop to the router. 

 

  • Last but not least, if you’re still having Wi-Fi trouble, don’t stress, call MIS!
