If your Wi-Fi seems to drop intermittently, follow these steps to troubleshoot:
A dead zone is simply an area within your house, apartment, office, or any other area that's supposed to be covered by Wi-Fi. For example, if you walk into a room with a phone or tablet and that room is in a dead zone, you'll stop getting a Wi-Fi signal.
Anything that interferes with Wi-Fi radio waves produces a dead zone. If you have a large house or office and have your wireless router in one corner of the building, there may be a dead zone in the opposite corner of the building where the Wi-Fi signal can't reach if you can move your router to a more centralized location. The closer you can put your router to the center of your coverage area, the better reception will be throughout your house.
Most houses were built before Wi-Fi was developed, so the floorplan and building materials may interfere with Wi-Fi. Old homes may have thick plaster walls that contain chicken wire for support, and this metal wiring can block Wi-Fi signals. Large metal objects like filing cabinets, ductwork, or metal walls may also block a Wi-Fi connection.
Other devices can also interfere with your connection. Old cordless phones create Wi-Fi dead spots while in use, and a microwave oven blocks Wi-Fi signals while running. Baby monitors, wireless security systems, and wireless sound systems have also been known to cause Wi-Fi issues.
If you live in an area dense with other wireless broadcasts, your Wi-Fi coverage may also be hurt by interference. For example, if you live in an apartment block where every unit has its own wireless router, their signals may "fight”.
Similarly, if your nearby neighbors have their Wi-Fi networks configured on the same wireless channel as yours, this may result in interference, reducing your network's signal strength.
Occasionally, there are instances like this that require additional troubleshooting. Contact us , and one of our professionals will take it from there.
