- Wi-Fi routers, like other electronic devices, can lose their efficiency over time or start showing instability, such as unexpected disconnections from the Wi-Fi network. A decrease in the router's antenna performance, leading to limited Wi-Fi signal range, may indicate that your router is reaching the end of its lifespan.
- If restarting the router (see instructions in another answer) did not bring improvement, try adjusting the direction of the router's antennas. The antennas should be oriented so that their longer sides point towards areas where you need a stronger signal. The signal spreads best along the surface of the antenna, not from its tip. Ideally, the antennas should be pointed in different directions for maximum space coverage.
- Another option is to relocate the router to a more suitable place, ideally in the central part of the house or apartment. Keep in mind that Wi-Fi signals do not propagate well through objects such as thick walls, water (aquariums), or metal (large mirrors, refrigerators).
- If none of these solutions improve the situation, you should consider replacing your current Wi-Fi router with a newer and more powerful model. For family houses or more spacious apartments, it is advisable to consider investing in a Wi-Fi mesh system. A selection of recommended and verified Wi-Fi routers and mesh systems can be found on the page with internet plan offers.
