1. Mark the rooms where Wi-Fi is used most and note weak-signal spots.
2. Where cabling permits, move the router closer to the center of the home. Disconnect power safely before handling its cabling.
3. Choose an open, ventilated shelf instead of a metal cabinet or a spot behind heavy furniture.
4. Avoid large obstructions and nearby interfering appliances; compare connectivity before and after.
5. If distant rooms remain weak, consider a mesh point suited to your floor plan.
6. Test connection stability room by room. Avoid overloading outlets and follow installation and ventilation instructions.
