Optimize Your Placement

Positioning is everything. Place the router in the center of your home, off the floor. Keep it away from interference sources like microwaves, baby monitors, and cordless phones. Avoid placing it inside closed cabinets or behind large metal objects like refrigerators.

Fine-Tuning and Hardware

Update your firmware regularly to ensure you have the latest performance patches. Consider switching to a 5 GHz band for your most active devices. If these steps do not work, consider adding a mesh system to eliminate dead zones. Finally, keep your device drivers updated, as old software can sometimes limit connection quality.
