What are Wireless Dead Zones and How to Eliminate Them
Do you have Wi-Fi dead zones in your home? That is a problem. Wireless dead zones (or dead spots) make entertainment and working from home difficult.
Wi-Fi dead zones are areas in your home that do not get a strong enough Wi-Fi signal. As a result, your connection is slow, spotty or non-existent.
How can you tell if you have dead zones and where they are?
Good news: You don’t really need a Wi-Fi detector to know you have dead zones in your home. If your Wi-Fi cuts out or is slow in certain spots, you know.
The bad news is…well, dead zones are bad news for your Wi-Fi internet experience.
There are ways to prevent wireless dead zones and ways to eliminate them once they occur. Here’s how to find, fix and avoid Wi-Fi dead zones in your home.
The best way to prevent or get rid of Wi-Fi dead zones
You can prevent or get rid of Wi-Fi dead spots by making sure that your Wi-Fi signal is strong and reaches far enough in your home. There are a few Wi-Fi booster tools that will help you with that:
The first thing you can do is check your Wi-Fi signal strength. A weak signal is the culprit for dead zones. Wi-Fi analyzers will let you know what’s going on with your home Wi-Fi network.
First, figure out what’s going on with your Wi-Fi network. Identify whether or not there are no other underlying Wi-Fi network issues.
When you need your Wi-Fi signal to stretch farther, use Wi-Fi extenders. Wi-Fi network extenders give you reliable, solid Wi-Fi as if you had a wired set up in your home. In fact, they can work with a wired network just as well as with a wireless network Either way, you get the reliable wireless internet you want in every corner of your home.
Note: You need to boost your Wi-Fi signal, regardless. If your signal is weak, a Wi-Fi extender won’t make it stronger. The Wi-Fi extender will just stretch the reach of your existing weak signal.
So, first thing’s first: boost your Wi-Fi signal strength. (You can do this in minutes.)
Once your signal is good, you can get it to reach every inch of your space.
