How to improve your Wi-Fi signal

Tips in case of a weak WiFi signal

Is your Wi-Fi signal not optimal? No worries, there are a few things you can try to improve the strength of your Wi-Fi signal. But first, check this:

• Try connecting different devices to your Wi-Fi to see if you can catch any signal.
• Is your TADAAM Modem too far from the device you are trying to connect to?
• If your TADAAM Modem is near a household appliance? Try to relocate it (yes, almost any household appliance – such as a microwave or an electric oven – transmits electromagnetic waves).
• Are your devices still supporting the latest Wi-Fi standards? If your device is relatively new, it should be. The last Wi-Fi update dates from 2014.
• Check if your Wi-FI is switched on, the hardware in your device is not defective and that your firewall settings are set correctly.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Of course, we cannot forget the classic IT advice: “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” Sometimes a simple reboot can significantly improve your Wi-Fi signal. Unplugging the modem, waiting two minutes and plugging it back in will clear its memory and allow new updates to be installed.

Also remember: if too many people use wireless internet in one place, for example in a large housing block, the Wi-Fi could run out of channels. This may cause a ‘Wi-Fi jam’, just like in traffic.
