Home Wi-Fi router and laptop in an open central location

Slow or unreliable Wi-Fi is often caused by router placement, interference, old equipment, or a weak signal reaching part of the home.

Place the router in an open area

Keep it off the floor and away from closed cabinets. A central, elevated location usually gives the signal a better path through the home.

Reduce nearby interference

Metal objects, thick walls, microwaves, cordless devices, and crowded electronics can weaken or disrupt a wireless connection.

Restart and update the router

A restart can clear temporary problems. Router updates may improve stability and security, but settings should be backed up before major changes.

Know when coverage is the problem

If Wi-Fi works well near the router but poorly in distant rooms, you may need a better router location, a mesh system, or a properly placed access point.
