Wi-Fi Router Positioning
- High vs Low: Having your Wi-Fi router on the floor or behind other objects usually results in noticeably worse performance. Instead, place the router as high up as possible to extend the broadcasting range of the radio waves. This also helps clear the router of possible interferences.
- Distance: The further away from your router you get, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal. Therefore, the best option is to place your router as close to your devices as possible, but this is only practical if you have one main area where you tend to use your devices.
Wireless Interference from other devices
- Microwaves, Cordless phones and even baby monitors operate at a frequency which is incredibly close to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band. Make sure your router isn’t next to or blocked by other objects, especially devices that are electronic.
- Bluetooth devices, including speakers and sound bars, also happen to operate at 2.4 GHz, interfering with Wi-Fi signal. Try to turn those devices off to see if this is the cause of your troubles — especially if they are older Bluetooth devices without channel management.
- You may need to change the 2.4 GHz channel in your router, or set it to automatic mode and let the router find the less noisy channel automatically. You may also want to try the 5 GHz SSID (usually provided with Spirit-configured routers), as this frequency is normally much less congested.
Our Support Team can make recommendations to improving your Wi-Fi performance. Remember should you require cabling, access points or additional extenders or boosters installed at your premises, these will be at an additional cost to you.
