Setting up Wi-Fi at home can seem simple enough. Pick a spot, follow the instructions and plug-in various cables. But before long you'll discover that getting ideal router performance can prove difficult. Here are some tips to help improve your wireless connectivity experience:

Update router firmware
Switching to the latest firmware can sometimes work wonders. Most routers today have the update mechanism built into the administration interface. Just login and click on firmware upgrade.

Optimal location for router placement
As any network specialist would attest, not all spaces are created equal. Where and how you place the router can have a big impact on performance. As a general rule, keep your wireless router in an open area, away from walls and obstructions. If possible, place it in an elevated position and always orient the antennas vertically for better coverage.

The right frequency
With a dual-band router supporting 802.11ac standards, you may try to reap better performance by switching to 5GHz band from the standard of 2.4GHz. In most case, 5Ghz band carries less traffic, which means reduced interference and by extension, better transmission performance. To do so, simply open your network's administrator interface, activate 5GHz, and you'll quickly see the difference.
