You can make several basic adjustments to significantly improve your home Wi-Fi connection speeds without buying expensive extra equipment.

However, buying an expensive router might not be necessary unless you have a large household with multiple members who need to use high-bandwidth applications simultaneously. You can significantly improve Wi-Fi coverage by avoiding placing the router in an enclosed space, as radio wave strength deteriorates when it needs to move through physical obstructions like walls and furniture.

Although routers normally configure themselves with the optimal channel with minimal interference from other devices, this can change as more devices get added to the network. Signals in the 2.4GHz band can cover greater distances and perform better between obstructions but are slower than those in the 5GHz band.

The default name for the 2.4GHz network will typically remain the same or get a “_2.4” at the end, while the 5GHz network will get a “_5G” added.Keep your router’s firmware updated, which is also essential to security.
