Is your Wi-Fi feeling sluggish? You’re not alone. Even with a strong AtLink connection, your home setup plays a major role in your overall internet experience. The good news? A few small changes can go a long way. These simple tips can help you get the most out of your service and keep your online life running smoothly.
Location is everything when it comes to Wi-Fi performance. For the best coverage, position your router in a central spot in your home—preferably on the main floor. Avoid hiding it in a corner, closet, or behind furniture. An open, central location allows your signal to reach more rooms evenly and efficiently.
Routers perform best when elevated and unobstructed. Set your router on a shelf, table, or cabinet—never on the floor. Keep it away from thick walls, large metal objects, or appliances like microwaves, which can interfere with signal strength. Just lifting your router up a few feet can noticeably improve speed and stability.
The more devices you have online, the more your bandwidth is divided. Phones, tablets, smart TVs, security cameras, and gaming consoles all share the same connection. Try disconnecting devices that aren’t in use or setting time limits for certain gadgets. Prioritizing the most important devices helps ensure a smoother experience for everyone.
Just like your smartphone or computer, your router needs an occasional reset. Rebooting once a week can clear out bugs, refresh the connection, and help prevent performance hiccups. Simply unplug the router for 10 seconds and plug it back in. It’s a small step with big benefits.
