How do I improve weak Wi-Fi in another room?

Short answer: Compare signal and speed near the router with the problem room.

Try these steps

  1. Test the same device near the router and in the weak area.
  2. Move your own router into a more open, central position where practical. Keep it away from metal cabinets and other obstructions.
  3. Consider a planned access point or mesh solution if placement does not cover the building.

When to ask for help

Avoid buying repeaters before checking the building layout, wired options and existing network equipment.
