The coronavirus pandemic is now in its third year, which means that many former commuters are now in their third year of working from home. Even folks who are back in the office a few days a week are often working from home more than they did before the pandemic started. If your Wi-Fi is flaking out, slowing to a crawl, or dropping at inopportune moments, here\u2019s how to get it back in business, ranging from free and simple to complicated and kinda expensive.<\/p>\n

Free options<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Test your connection<\/h2>\n

Your first step is to understand the nature of the problem: is the internet bad throughout your home or just in certain areas or on certain devices? Does it cut out or slow down randomly throughout the day or only during certain activities? Is the problem your internet connection, your Wi-Fi signal, or something else?<\/p>\n

The easiest way to start is to run an internet speed test. On a computer, go to Speedtest.net<\/a>; on a phone or tablet, download and run the Speedtest app (iOS<\/a>, Android<\/a>). Make sure that you\u2019re using your Wi-Fi rather than cellular data and that any VPNs are disconnected. <\/p>\n

The easiest way to test your connection is to run an internet speed test such as Speedtest.net.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Because this test measures the speed and latency of your connection with a server on the internet, it won\u2019t ever be higher than the speed of your internet connection or your Wi-Fi, whichever is lower. It also can\u2019t distinguish between a slow internet connection and a bad Wi-Fi signal (unless it fails partway through). For that, we have other tools. <\/p>\n

Some routers can run speed tests directly from the web interface. If you can do that, you should. If yours doesn\u2019t and you have a computer with an ethernet port that you can plug directly into your router, you should run Speedtest from that. Either should give you a result within spitting distance of the speed you\u2019re paying your ISP for. If not, it\u2019s time to call them up and complain \u2014 or switch providers if you can. (See \u201cBuy More Bandwidth\u201d below.)<\/p>\n

A speed test directly on the router (left) will show a much higher number than a speed test done over Wi-Fi, even from a device right next to the router (as is the case here). <\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Check your Wi-Fi signal strength<\/h2>\n

If you have more than enough bandwidth coming into your house, it\u2019s time to check the Wi-Fi. You can use speed tests as a quick proxy for signal strength. Check your speed and ping in several different rooms. Start right next to the router and then move progressively farther away, and take note if there are places with significantly lower download and upload speed, or higher ping, than others. <\/p>\n

You can also check your signal strength directly on most laptops and Android phones. <\/p>\n

On a Mac, holding down Option and clicking the Wi-Fi icon in your top bar will give you a ton of detail, including signal strength or RSSI (received signal strength indicator) and interference, which is a measure of the strength of competing signals on the same channel. On Android phones, you can use an app like the open-source Wifi Analyzer<\/a>; on Windows, the apparently unrelated WiFi Analyzer<\/a> does the same job. Both of these also show much more information about your Wi-Fi neighborhood, which can be useful later, but for now, we just care about signal strength. <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

On a Mac, hold Option and click the Wi-Fi icon in the top bar to get detailed information on your connection, including signal strength (RSSI) and interference (noise).<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Any number above -70dBm should indicate a decent connection<\/a>. If your signal strength is below that (meaning -71dBm or worse since these are negative numbers) and your router isn\u2019t ancient, here are a few free things you can try to improve your signal. Try them one at a time and check your connection after each one to see if it helped. <\/p>\n

Move your router<\/h2>\n

If the bandwidth or signal strength tests show dead spots in your home, try moving your wireless router. It\u2019s not at all unusual for a Wi-Fi router to be stuck in the corner of a house or apartment near the wall where service enters your home. That\u2019s the worst place for it. Wi-Fi is radio; radios have limited range and sometimes have trouble penetrating walls. If it\u2019s practical, try moving your router to a more central location by using a longer cable from the wall jack. <\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t move the router far, at least try to keep the router out of cabinets and away from big pieces of metal, like refrigerators, desktop computers, or microwave ovens. Wi-Fi doesn\u2019t do well around lots of water, either, so stay away from 100-gallon aquariums. <\/p>\n

Even just moving books and clutter away from your router can reduce interference and increase your signal strength. It also helps increase airflow to the router to keep it from overheating. Speaking of which:<\/p>\n

Clean your router<\/h2>\n

This may sound silly, but when was the last time you cleaned your router? If your router\u2019s vents are clogged with dust or pet hair, it will overheat more easily, throttling the processor and causing your connection to tank. <\/p>\n

Move to a different band<\/h2>\n

Modern Wi-Fi works on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency band. The latter is faster and is less subject to interference but doesn\u2019t travel as far and can\u2019t penetrate walls as well. The former is more robust but has lower maximum speeds and is susceptible to interference from microwave ovens, some older cordless phones, and (especially) neighboring Wi-Fi signals. <\/p>\n

The usual advice here is to switch as many devices to 5GHz as you can. And if you\u2019re having trouble on the 2.4GHz band, that could help. The 5GHz channels aren\u2019t as crowded, and the lack of range can actually work in your favor since your router won\u2019t have interference from as many neighbors. <\/p>\n

On the other hand, if your device is on 5GHz already and can\u2019t get a decent signal, try switching to 2.4GHz. The longer range could make the difference. <\/p>\n

Side note: many modern routers have a feature that basically amounts to giving the 2.4GHz and 5GHz the same name and letting the router sort out which one to assign each device to. In practice, it usually just shoves every device it can onto the 5GHz band, regardless of signal. It can be better to keep them separated if your router allows it.<\/p>\n

Second side note: Wi-Fi 6E routers have a 6GHz band in addition to the other two, but Wi-Fi 6E devices are still rare, and 6GHz has even worse range than 5GHz.<\/p>\n

Change the channel<\/h2>\n

None of the neighboring signals here are strong enough to interfere with Rockpile, except for the Arlo base station right next to the router. (Arlo warns you not to put it there, and this is why.)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If there are a lot of other Wi-Fi networks near you, you may be experiencing radio interference. Some routers are designed to sense interference and pick uncluttered frequencies themselves, but not all of them are great at that or at finding clearer frequencies as conditions change.<\/p>\n

You can use one of the Wi-Fi Analyzer apps mentioned above to scope out the radio neighborhood, then go into your router\u2019s settings and manually change to a less crowded channel. <\/p>\n

Wire it up<\/h2>\n

Every device that\u2019s on ethernet is one that\u2019s not competing for Wi-Fi signal or limited by Wi-Fi transmission rates. It\u2019s an elegant weapon from a more civilized time. <\/p>\n

Options that cost money<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Buy more bandwidth<\/h2>\n

Data requirements creep up on us, and you\u2019re probably using more bandwidth than you used to. Maybe several people are now working from home and doing lots of video calls. Maybe you bought a new TV during the pandemic and are enjoying 4K Netflix, or you\u2019ve taken up interactive gaming, or your kids are home from school before you\u2019re done working, or some combination of all of these. It adds up.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t do you any good to improve your Wi-Fi coverage around the house if traffic is getting bottlenecked by your ISP. Look at your bill or log into your ISP\u2019s customer portal to see your current plan and your options for upgrading. Depending on where you live, your ISP might offer higher bandwidth plans than they did last time you checked, or they might have competition from cable, fiber, or even cellular carriers. Especially if you still have DSL service from your local phone company, check to be sure that no faster alternative has materialized in your area. In many parts of the country, it\u2019s now easy to find plans with 100 Mbps and up \u2014 or even gigabit and beyond. If your connection only slows down toward the end of the month, it\u2019s also possible that you\u2019re nudging up against monthly data caps, though ISPs will usually warn you if that\u2019s the problem.<\/p>\n

Get a Wi-Fi extender (but probably don\u2019t)<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s possible that you can\u2019t move your router or that moving it didn\u2019t help. If your router is relatively new and you don\u2019t want to replace it and only have trouble in one part of your home, you can get a range extender. Most router companies now sell range extenders that are designed to work with their routers to act as an \u00e0 la carte mesh networking system. Or just grab an inexpensive TP-Link<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Range extenders can be helpful in certain situations, but they aren\u2019t very efficient and are not good at providing fast<\/em> connections everywhere. If you just need a signal, any kind of signal, then that\u2019s what they are helpful for. Otherwise, a mesh router (see below) is generally a better option.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Get a new router or a mesh networking kit<\/h2>\n

Replacing your whole Wi-Fi setup is the nuclear option for improving your bandwidth, but you should think about it if your router is more than five years old. If your home is more than around 2,000 square feet, has multiple stories, or has a layout that makes it difficult for a single Wi-Fi router to cover, consider a mesh network like Eero<\/a> or TP-Link Deco. Otherwise, a single powerful router like the Asus RT-AX86U<\/a> is a good bet.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re starting to see more routers and mesh networking kits that support Wi-Fi 6E \u2014 which adds a 6GHz band \u2014 but few devices do yet aside from some recent high-end Android phones and Windows laptops. Wi-Fi 6 is still fine. But if you\u2019re considering a new router or mesh kit anyway and you\u2019re due for computer or phone upgrades soon, you might consider Wi-Fi 6E. <\/p>\n

In the end, making sure your home Wi-Fi network runs well \u2014 especially when your income or your kids\u2019 education is concerned \u2014 is worth the effort and probably the expense as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
