A higher router means a wider broadcast and better coverage of your home.Ĭertain obstructions and devices can also interfere with Wi-Fi signals. The signal shines out like light from a bulb, creating a dome of Wi-Fi. The router’s signal broadcast isn’t a straight line to your device. It’s also important to place the router as high as possible. The Wi-Fi signal meter on your device helps you judge the strength of the current Wi-Fi signal. You’ll want to have your device well within your router’s broadcast range for optimal Wi-Fi performance. Wi-Fi radio waves get weaker the farther they travel.
