Extenders plug into outlets and resemble air fresheners. Extenders do create second networks, some with different names. Also, while extenders extend the reach of your network, speeds may slow a bit. A mesh network enhances range without sacrificing speed and changing network names, so we touch on that in a bit.
Upgrade your router. It could be time for a change if you lived in a small apartment and took your router along to your new, much larger home. Use a mesh router. Upgrading to mesh makes sense if your WiFi connection is strong in some places but weak or dead in others.
You may need mesh for coverage in large homes, multistory homes, and garages that are not close to the router. In a mesh network, a primary router and satellite nodes or modules coordinate to deliver speedy, efficient WiFi.
You put the nodes in different areas throughout your house, and each node is capable of broadcasting WiFi. Mesh systems have become much more affordable, but you may be disappointed if you go entry-level. WiFi 6 also handles traffic and congestion better. It has been available for a few years, but nowadays more and more devices support it. Fall back on good old-fashioned communication. If you live with a bunch of roommates or relatives who love streaming and gaming, all of you may need to agree on some guidelines or take turns using the internet connection.
Of course, first try suggestions such as restarting the router, moving it to a central place, running speed tests, and using an extender for a dead zone. Do avoid putting your router in the kitchen, as microwaves and metal appliances can mess with the signal.
So can liquids and food that get spilled on the router. Otherwise, here are ideas for WiFi sharing and communication: Limit certain activities to certain times perhaps downloading online games during the wee hours when everyone is asleep.
Be aware that torrenting, while also being illegal, is a huge bandwidth hog. If you live in a multi-family residence, ask your housemates to not share your WiFi passwords with others in the building. Agree to dial back the graphics, for instance, by streaming in standard definition instead of 4K or Ultra HD.
Pay a bit more money per resident for more bandwidth. Try a WiFi adapter if you live in a dorm. By default, U. Assume that everyone else in the building is on these channels.
Manually adjust your router so it is on channel 1, and retest your WiFi until you find a channel it works well on. Or, use a third-party app that shows the channels around you and helps find a less crowded channel. Reconsider your internet plan. If your internet plan has certain limits, then you are unlikely to get more.
You may need a new plan that can support both online gaming and streaming in 4K, giving you speeds of 50 to Mbps. However, if you cannot afford to upgrade your plan, you may still be able to improve your internet speeds. You can also threaten to cancel to get a better deal and use those savings to get faster speeds.
If you find that you are consistently getting booted from your WiFi network, there are a few things that could be happening. The first step we recommend taking is looking for any patterns in the service disruptions. This can often prevent you from connecting to the internet if there is an IP address mismatch.
