WFH? Tips for better Wi-Fi network performance
Whatever platform you use, you’ll want to optimize Wi-Fi performance when you work from home, as it’s hard to stay productive when your network crawls.
Start in the right place
Never ignore the basics:
- Move your router so it is not on the floor and isn’t behind any large objects.
- Update the software on all your equipment, including your router, printer and any other connected device.
- Restart everything, including disconnecting your router from power for a moment or two.
- Consider extending your network, or replacing it with a mesh network of some kind.
Change your Wi-Fi password
Changing your Wi-Fi password will knock all your devices (including those you've forgotten about) off the network; this is a good thing, as you can reintroduce them as and when you need them.
