My wifi router is placed near the modem and phone line. I want to increase the signal output of my wifi router to reach my room. My room is adjacent and above to the router. Is there a way to do this without costing me much?
You can try using an aluminum foil. It will surely give you a little a boost on your wifi signal.
– First you have to get a foil about 18 x 12 inches.
– Fold it to form a rectangular shape 18 times by inch.
– Then give it a good curve that can stand, or if your wifi router is wall mounted, then try punching some holes in it and then put in your wifi router antenna.
This solution is very cheap and yet it is not as effective as investing money on another wifi router or buying a stronger antenna. As a wifi user, I will still recommend buying a new equipment rather than using cheap methods to boost wifi connection. In your case it is much better to get another wifi router connected to your other router via lan port, then place it near or inside your room.
Tips to increase or boost the signal of your router:
There are ways of increasing wireless signal without additional cost. But if you need stronger wireless signal, then why not spend couple of bucks to get this what you need.
First, place the router away from cordless phone, microwave ovens, electromagnetic devices, satellite dish and carpet. These are the so called wireless interruptions, causes the signal to decreased to it's standard wireless signal.
Second, try to position the router and it's antenna pointing to the place where your room, computer is located.
Third, update the firmware to get a better enhanced wireless software installed in your router. This will increase but not guaranteed strong wireless signal but this fixes incompatible issues with the software and hardware you have.
Lastly, installed wireless booster.
