Summary
Poor Wi-Fi coverage and slow speeds can be very frustrating to deal with andMesh Wi-Fi systems or Wi-Fi extenders are often seen as the go-to solutions.
However, there are some steps you should try first to improve your signal, such as relocating your router and changing its Wi-Fi channel to a less congested one.
Moving your router to an elevated position, away from any potential sources of interference and away from devices that may interfere with the signal, such as baby monitors, will often provide the best results.
You should also check for any unused or old devices that may be connected to your router as these can reduce bandwidth and result in a slower network.
If your connection is still poor, you may want to try scheduling uploads or downloads for off-peak times as internet service providers often provide bandwidth allocation during quieter hours.
If you want faster, more reliable connectivity, you could use an Ethernet cable to connect to your router.
