If the signal vanishes the moment you walk into the back bedroom or out to the garden, you are not alone. Dead spots are usually about where your equipment sits and how far the signal has to travel.
Start with router placement
Routers work best out in the open, central, and up off the floor, not tucked behind the TV or inside a cupboard. Moving it can fix more than people expect.
Cut down on interference
Thick walls, large appliances and even other wireless gadgets can weaken the signal. Keeping the router clear of these helps it reach further.
When to use a mesh system
For larger or awkwardly shaped homes, a mesh system spreads several linked units around the house so you get one strong network everywhere, with no awkward switching between signals.
Do not forget the basics
Sometimes the issue is the broadband itself, not the Wi-Fi. Checking your actual speed and whether your package suits your household is a sensible first step.
We will survey your home, find the weak spots and set up coverage that reaches every room, including the garden if that is where you want it.
