The location where your wireless router and computer are placed affects the performance of your Wi-Fi. To boost the wireless signal, it is ideal to place the wireless router either in the central part of your house or in a location free from any obstructions that may block its range.
Check the signal strength received by your wireless adapter or AirPort® for Mac® users. If you’re using a Windows computer, the signal strength indicator comes with the Wi-Fi name or Service Set Identifier (SSID) upon connecting. The recommended signal strength should be closest to full bars to have the best connection possible.
The frequency used by your router’s Wi-Fi can be set to 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz or Mixed. Interference happens if there is conflict with some wireless devices that are also using the same frequency within your network. The most common examples of devices that use the same frequency are cordless phones, microwave ovens, and baby monitors. Another factor that could cause interference would be a separate Wi-Fi which operates in the same frequency as your router’s.
