With a few basic changes you can get better performance. If this does not work, it may be time to upgrade to a newer standard.

Having a connection or performance problem with your wireless network? Do you have bad or occasionally low Wi-Fi signals or poor video or audio streaming? Here we will share some tips to increase Wi-Fi performance. And most do not even require spending money.

Reposition the router - First try simply moving the wireless router. Ideally you want to be in the center of the desired coverage area, but keep in mind that you will probably have to move the modem as well. Moving it to the optimal position can increase the range and speed.

If you have cable internet you can usually just move the modem/gateway to another power cable. DSL modems can be easily moved to another telephone line, but if there is a DSL filter installed on the new port it needs to be moved to the old port.

If you do not have any cable or phone jacks in the spot you want to place the router, you can consider buying an Ethernet cable and placing it between the modem and the router. You want to place the router high for optimal signal strength, not buried in or under a table or other furniture.

Use only one wireless standard - Although wireless standards (802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and soon 802.11ac) are backward compatible with each other, you should hold a single standard for your router and Wi-Fi enabled devices for the best performance. And obviously you should be trying to use the latest standard, which support speeds that are high and have the best performance.Wi-Fi

You can easily upgrade the wireless adapter of your computer, but improving other Wi-Fi devices such as smart phones and game consoles is not so easy. If you upgrade your router, consider keeping the old router to support older standards and using only the new Wi-Fi devices that support the latest standards.

For example, if you have a wireless G router, buy a wireless router or alternatively to replace it, and then connect the wireless G router to the new router. You can even place them close to each other, but make sure they are set to different channels. Then on the new router, log in to the control panel and set it to Wireless N or AC only. Because Wi-Fi computers and devices with the newer standard will connect to the new router with the best possible performance, while others will connect with the older router.
