This year has shown us how important a reliable and fast internet connection is for our daily lives, whether for work or leisure. Here are some basic tips to help you get the most out of your internet connection during these unusual times.
Choose the best location for your Internet router
To get the best out of your Wi-Fi connection, you
need to make sure that your routers occupy a central location in your home, in
a clear space (not in a closet) and away from other wireless devices.
Add one or more routers
To enhance your Wi-Fi connection, you can always
add another router to your setup, which will improve the range and quality of
the Wi-Fi signal. This solution is ideal for large homes, or for homes with
thick walls or barriers to wireless networks.
Change the frequency
As a general rule, most operators offer different
frequencies. Try changing the channel to select 5GHz instead of the 2.4GHz
frequency configuration - it is less used and thus more’ overloaded.
Secure your Wi-Fi network
Overloading your Wi-Fi network prevents you from
doing better. Avoid sharing your password with neighbors or others, and protect
your network from hackers. Ideally, it's best to encrypt your connection with
secure Wi-Fi access. Make sure you choose the WPA2 protocol (or WPA3 for the
latest models). And choose a complex password. Which you should change every
three months.
Restrict contacts at the same time
The more devices connected to your Wi-Fi, the
more your network will be’ saturated. Try to assign users to the different
frequencies offered by your internet provider, or prioritize daytime work needs
on streaming TV, for example.
Switch to 4G
If your home connection is very slow, you can use
a 4G smartphone as a Wi-Fi router. Connect your smartphone to your computer and
select "Hotspot" in the phone settings. However, be sure to consider
allowing Internet access through your mobile phone package so as not to exceed
your permissible limits.
