Superboost your WiFi: What You Need to Know

What does it mean to “superboost” your WiFi? Essentially, it is a term that refers to making your WiFi network so strong that it seems bulletproof. However, we all know that the nature of wireless Internet is that it is vulnerable to obstacles and interference. So, it can never be bulletproof, but you can “superboost” it to seem that way. Here’s how:

 

How boosting your WiFi solves the issue

If your WiFi is slow or experiencing other issues, you might need to give your WiFi signal a boost. Boosting your WiFi signal to a good signal will help enhance your Internet’s overall performance.

A weak or non-existent WiFi signal prevents you from connecting to the Internet like you want to. A weak or dead WiFi signal is what causes lag while gaming, buffering while streaming videos, dropped calls when you are in a virtual meeting or online class, and makes uploading or downloading content a nightmare.

Even if you are able to connect on your weak signal, your experience trying to download, upload and browsing speeds will be slow. But boosting your WiFi signal will help you avoid the inconvenience of slow or dropped connection.

What you need to do to superboost your WiFi

You can boost your WiFi signal in a few ways. Here are some tips:

1. Try moving your router to a central location.
   Your router should be as central as possible to where you use your devices and off of the floor. If your router is far away from your devices, you will not get any service, especially if you WiFi signal is weak.
2. Upgrade your router.
   Your signal could be struggling if your router is outdated. If you bought your router instead of renting it from your Internet service provider (ISP) and it’s more than two or three years old, you should invest in a new router.
3. Invest in WiFi boosters
   Once you have boosted your signal with the tips above, you can use WiFi boosters to help stretch the reach to every corner of your home. WiFi boosters can use the existing coax cabling in your home to create a fast and reliable home network.
