You might think once you have your router and modem working, your wi-fi service setup is complete. However, there are some simple things you can do to boost your internet connection so you can get work done faster, connect with loved ones more easily, and watch the TV shows you love without any annoying buffering.

At Aka's TV & Electronics, the best electronics service and repair company in Kahului, Hawaii, their experts have more than 100 years of combined experience helping people get their wi-fi service up and running. Here are three tips for getting the most out of your home’s wi-fi connection.

3 Tips for Boosting Your Home’s Wi-Fi Service Connection

1. Move Your Modem & Router

You can plug your modem and router into any wall in any room, but if you want a better wi-fi connection, the location matters — especially if they’re wireless. The modem should be in the room where you’ll be accessing the internet the most, such as the living room, and the wireless router should be mounted on a wall or on top of a shelf so it can get the best signal possible. To reduce interference, keep both away from other appliances or electronics.

2. Improve the Security

The more people who are using your wi-fi service, the slower it will be. The best way to reduce the number of devices sharing your connection is to improve your router security. For the most secure network, choose a WPA2 type of security and choose a strong password. If you don’t know how to change your router settings, the experts at Aka's TV & Electronics can help.

3. Install a Range Extender

Your router can only broadcast so far, so if you have a particularly large house or even just a large room, you might need a wireless range extender. Also known as a wi-fi extender, the extender boosts your signal. Make sure you put the extender near your router so it picks up a good signal.
