Paying for fast fibre but getting patchy Wi-Fi? The line is often fine — it’s the Wi-Fi that needs attention.
These steps make a real difference.
Router Placement Matters
Position your router centrally and off the floor, away from thick walls and electronics that cause interference. Small changes in placement can dramatically improve coverage.
Avoid tucking the router into a cupboard where the signal is blocked.
Consider a Mesh System
For larger or multi-storey homes, a mesh system provides seamless coverage as you move around. It’s the single most effective upgrade for dead zones.
Mesh beats basic extenders for a smooth, unified network.
Optimise Your Settings
Using the right channels and separating 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands reduces congestion. Keeping firmware updated improves speed and security.
