OPTIMIZE YOUR WI-FI SETUP

The placement of your Wi-Fi router can significantly impact your internet speed. Position your router in a central location of your home, ideally in an elevated spot. Avoid placing it near walls or large metal objects that can obstruct the signal. Additionally, ensure your router is not close to other electronic devices that may cause interference.

We also offer mesh extenders for $6.95/month which can increase the coverage of your Wi-Fi.

MANAGE CONNECTED DEVICES

The more devices connected to your network, the more bandwidth is consumed. Disconnect devices that are not in use to free up bandwidth for essential activities. This includes smartphones, tablets, smart home devices, and streaming services that may be running in the background.
