Obnews Tech Desk: In today’s digital age, fast and reliable WiFi connection has become a need of every household. Whether it is talking online, office work or video streaming on OTT platforms – superfast internet is necessary everywhere. But many times the network slows down despite good speed. The reason for this is some simple mistakes made in the house, which can be cured by fixing the speed significantly.
Keep the WiFi router not in the corner of the house, but in the middle and open space. Try not to have a wall, cupboard or electronic device (eg TV, microwave) as it can cause signal blocks. “By placing the router in a high and open place, the signal reaches the entire house.”
Sometimes there is an interferencing due to the surrounding WiFi networks. In such a situation, you go to the settings of the router and set the channel on an auto or low -use channel. This will show immediate difference in speed.
Router companies regularly release firmware updates that improve security and speed. The connection can also be slow due to old software.

Today’s modern routers have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. While 2.4GHz covers long distance, there is better speed and low interface on 5GHz. Use it in the same room where sharp internet is needed.
Speed distribution is distributed when more devices are added to WiFi. In such a situation, disconnect devices that are not being used at the moment.
