WiFi speed is slow in one specific room of the house
One room is too far from the router or something is blocking the signal. Move the router closer to the centre of your house and away from walls and metal objects. If you cannot move it, buy a WiFi extender or mesh system to boost the signal in that room. These are cheap and work well.
Dead zones happen when a room is too far from the router or something blocks the WiFi signal between them. We will adjust your router placement and check what's blocking the signal. If that does not help, a WiFi extender fills in the gap.
- ✓Have a device ready to check signal strength in the slow room and other parts of your house
- ✓Know whether the slow room is on the same floor as the router or a different floor
- ✓Be prepared to move your router to a more central location if needed

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Tucking the router into a closet or cabinet to hide it. This makes the dead zone worse because walls and doors block the signal
- Placing the router next to other WiFi devices like baby monitors or cordless phones. These cause interference
Signs you need professional help
- If the signal is still weak in that room after repositioning the router and clearing obstacles, a WiFi extender or mesh system will solve it. Give us a call and we can recommend the best option for your space.
