5 ways to speed up your Wi-Fi network

Everyone needs faster, stronger Wi-Fi. It depends on your broadband connection for more than ever before. These days we don't just surf the web from a single PC in one place - we stream music, radio and movies around mutiple connected devices, around the home and in the garden. In this article we explain why you may need to upgrade your Wi-Fi equipment. We also show you how to boost your Wi-fi signal using your existing kit, and simple ways to make your broadband faster, more stable, Here further given below some useful methods to speed up a 
wi-fi network.



1..Change Router Channel:

 Change the channel your network uses can make a big difference. If you've got a 2.4 GHz router, channels 1, 6, and 11 are generally the best bets because they're furthest away from other channels. But even those might run into interference from nearby networks. So first run software that shows you the channels any nearby networks use, and how powerful their signals are.If you've got an Android device, WiFi Analyzer does the trick. After you see what channels nearby networks are running on, choose a conflict-free channel for your own network.


2..Update firmware:

Yes, I know this sounds like your mother's advice to eat your broccoli, and you've heard it so many times you've tuned it out. But it works. Manufacturers regularly tweak hardware's firmware, and it leads to faster, more reliable performance. So check out your documentation about how to update your router's firmware. It's easy to do, and it has a big payoff.

3..Properly locate your router:

Moving a router to a different location can make a surprisingly big difference in network speed on your devices. Before moving your router, checks network speeds on your devices using a service like Speed Test. Then move it to different locations, using SpeedTest each time, until you find the best location.

4..Use repeaters and extenders:


Repeaters, extenders, and add-on antennas are great ways to extend your network's range to places in your house that currently gets poor network coverage. These devices generally cost under $50 and are relatively straightforward to set up. There are also Powerline-to-WiFi devices such as the Linksys PLWK 400 that uses your home's AC outlets to extend your wireless network's reach. They 're particularly good for extending your network to difficult places like basements.

5..Use DD-WRT:

If entirely replacing your router's firmware with the open source DD-WRT. It won't work with all routers, and you are taking a chance by replacing your router's firmware. But I've done it and the software has countless ways for improving your network's performance. Before you do it, check the DD-WRT site carefully to make sure it works with your router, and follow instructions carefully.
