If you have had problems with your home WiFi, instead of choosing to change your ‘router’ (modem) or use repeaters, consider that this may be happening due to the location of your signal transmitter.
The position of the router can influence the signal quality. An example is a closed space, since the delimitation of the place can make the coverage more deficient, according to the site specialized in technology ‘Xataka’.

It is worth clarifying that one of the points that must be kept in mind is the surface on which the router is located, since there are bases that can weaken the wireless internet signal. While little thought is given to what a strategic team base is, here you will learn what they are.

According to the specialized portal ‘Computer Hoy’, There are four surfaces that can weaken your WiFi signal:
– Metal table: Metal surfaces cause the electromagnetic waves that bring the internet to your home or workplace to bounce back, blocking the signal, as if it were a barrier or shield.
– Floor: The floor may contain metallic material, as well as metal mesh that can interfere with the signal.
– Kitchen: Several household appliances, such as refrigerators, have water pipes that capture the energy of the waves.
– Mirror or glasses: With this material something similar to metal happens; that is, they can act as a wireless wave barrier.

Likewise, beyond the surface where you place your router, ‘CNET Recommends’, another medium specialized in technology, It is recommended to place it in a corner: “Routers send the signal in all directions, so if it’s left in the corner of your home, a significant percentage of your wireless coverage is sent outside your home. That’s why your best bet is to move the router to a central location to optimize the signal.”, explains the portal.

That is why it is advisable to leave the router in its elevated area and prevent other electronic equipment from converging in the same space. If you manage to change the surface and the place where you are going to leave the item, it is likely that your WiFi will improve.
