One room in your house always has weak WiFi
WiFi signal gets weaker the farther from your router you go. If one room is far away or blocked by walls and thick materials, that's why the signal is weak there. Move your router closer to the middle of your house, raise it higher, or add a WiFi extender to fix it.
WiFi is radio waves that weaken over distance and when they pass through walls, especially thick ones like brick or plaster. If one room consistently has bad signal, your router is either too far away, positioned low, or the signal is blocked by heavy materials. Moving the router, raising it, or adding a second access point will push signal into that room.
- ✓Count how many walls and doors are between your router and that room. More than three is too far
- ✓Look at your router's location. If it's in a corner of your house, rooms on the opposite side won't get signal
- ✓Know if the weak spot is directly below or above the router. Walls above and below block signals too

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Hiding the router in a cabinet to keep it out of sight. This blocks the signal in all directions
- Placing the router on the floor. Raising it three feet improves signal significantly
- Pointing router antennas the same direction. Point one up and one sideways to cover more area
Signs you need professional help
- You've moved the router, raised it, and added an extender but that room still has no signal The problem started suddenly after working fine for months. Can be interference or a failing router
