Why your WiFi is slower in certain rooms and the simple fix that costs nothing - Silicon Canals

"But here's what I learned after spending an embarrassing amount of time researching this: WIRED points out that "Your router pumps out a Wi-Fi signal in all directions, so the best place for it is in the middle of your home." When I moved my router from the corner of my living room to a more central location, the difference was immediate."

"My home office went from digital wasteland to actually functional. It felt like magic, but it's just physics. The signal from your router radiates outward like ripples in a pond. When you stick it in a corner, half those ripples are hitting the wall and going nowhere useful. Moving it to a central spot means more of your home gets covered by those invisible waves carrying your internet connection."

Room-by-room WiFi problems often stem from poor router placement and physical obstructions. Routers emit signals in all directions, so placing one in a corner wastes coverage as waves hit walls and furniture. Moving the router to a more central, unobstructed location can immediately improve connectivity in distant rooms like home offices. Household items and building materials can block or absorb signals, creating dead zones. Simple, no-cost adjustments to router position and minimizing obstructions can expand wireless coverage and reduce reliance on the internet provider for problems caused by local setup and home layout.
