Tips for improving Wi-Fi Performance
Choose a central location

Place up high
Wi-Fi signals can be slowed as they pass through walls, furniture and other objects, Try placing the router or extender on a high shelf in a central location.
Be aware of building materials
Concrete and brick walls can weaken your Wi-Fi signal. Try to choose rooms with walls made of sheetrock or another relatively thin material when you're finding a place for your router and/or extender.
Avoid other interferance
Microwaves and TVs can interfere with your Wi-Fi. Mirrors can create dead spots. Move your router or extender as far away as possible from these items.
Be mindful of older equipment
