How to get the best signal from your router?
I recently moved into a new apartment and I’m not sure whether it's the building, the area of the city, or what, but my WiFi signal is super weak! It goes without saying that I'm totally frustrated by this and need a solution! My question to you is: how do I get the best signal from my router?

A bad WiFi signal is like having a superficial wound that just won’t heal, and you should not accept this! You can get the best signal from your router by making sure it’s placed in an area of your home where it gets the best reception.
This means carefully choosing a good place to plug the router in. Avoid the kitchen—there are a lot of appliances in there that emit a bunch of electromagnetic waves (hello microwave!) and can mess with your signal.
You’ll also need to elevate your router and avoid putting it too close to other cables. Setting it up near the center of your home will also help you optimize your reception. Worst case scenario: consider purchasing a WiFi repeater or booster to elevate your signal.
Once you’ve finished playing freeze tag with your router, take a second to go over your annual
