7 Tips To Get More Out Of Your WiFi Router

Wireless routers are a bit like relationships. You don't notice the problems until things go really wrong and they send you crazy. This behaviour is normally accompanied by naming calling and huge sighs! And at times, you can't understand what has gone wrong – but you blame the router anyway!

However, sometimes is not the routers fault – it is yours. It's about time you accepted the blame and fix things pronto!



1. Did you read the manual?

Remember all the times you wished your other half came with instructions? Yet you expect your router to perform miracles automatically! In your defense, we’ve all done it, but just like your partners, routers are all different and need a little TLC. A quick read of the instructions will make sure you treat it right! If you didn't get a manual with your router you can download users guides from the supplier’s website.

2. You didn’t learn the basics

You will be amazed how much better you get on with your wireless router if you have a basic understanding of its needs. This all may sound very complicated and techy, but the truth is its child´s play.

3. You never change

It´s easy to get stuck in your ways, but you have to keep things fresh. Keep your router up to date, your ISP will often allow you to upgrade to a new model for free if it becomes their standard issue for new customers, additionally firmware updates from the manufacturer can help find and fix any bugs and generally improve the performance of your device.

4. You’re using the wrong technology for your needs

You might want to consider exactly what you need from your service and if your expectations are reasonable. Are you a seriously competitive online gamer? Chances are you should be connecting to your router with a wired Ethernet connection. Always on the move for business but need to stay plugged into the web? You’re going to need a service specifically for international wireless roaming. Take some time to think about what you actually need from your service before committing to a plan.

5. You’re embarrassed to be seen with it

Wireless routers are not the sexiest device you will ever own, but its what´s on the inside that counts! And tucking your box in the corner out of the way may not be the best place to keep it. Ideally, it needs to be in range of all devices you use it for, and preferably an open space where it can breathe.

6. Something is interfering

This problem is more common than you realize. Routers work from a 2.4 GHz band – the same as many other household devices such as cordless phone, microwave and baby monitors. It could be that they are interfering with your router and affecting its performance.

7. Interfering neighbors

One of the most common interference patterns for routers comes from next door. The chances are your neighbors connect over the same frequency as you and just like your own household devices. Might be sharing the same 2.4 GHz frequency as you.

Naturally, if you live in a densely populated area, you could have any number of rivals competing for space on this limited band. The only real solution for now is getting a router that operates on dual bands simultaneously. Newer routers will often run on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands at the same time, allowing the latest WiFi devices to connect on the much less congested 5 GHz band. Of course the other thing to consider is that your neighbors may be intentionally reducing your bandwidth by hogging it for themselves!
