Home Wi‑Fi planning guides
Short, practical explanations designed to help you make a placement decision—not to bury the answer under networking jargon.
Where should I put my Wi‑Fi router?
Choose a better Wi‑Fi router position using distance, wall materials, floors and the rooms that need the strongest connection.
GUIDEWi‑Fi through brick walls
Understand how brick and masonry can reduce Wi‑Fi signal and why router or mesh placement matters more in solid-wall homes.
GUIDEWi‑Fi through concrete walls and floors
Plan Wi‑Fi around concrete and reinforced construction. Understand why dense walls and floors can create severe dead zones.
GUIDE2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz range
Compare 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi‑Fi range, wall penetration and practical home placement without oversimplified distance claims.
GUIDE5 GHz vs 6 GHz range
Compare 5 GHz and 6 GHz Wi‑Fi coverage, barrier loss and placement considerations for Wi‑Fi 6E and Wi‑Fi 7 homes.
GUIDEMesh Wi‑Fi vs extender
Compare mesh Wi‑Fi and range extenders by backhaul, roaming, placement and the type of dead zone you are trying to fix.
GUIDEHow many mesh nodes do I need?
Estimate mesh node count from home layout, wall construction, floors and backhaul instead of relying only on square footage.
GUIDEHow to improve Wi‑Fi upstairs
Fix weak upstairs Wi‑Fi by testing router position, floor loss, stairwell routes and mesh or wired access-point placement.
GUIDEHow to improve Wi‑Fi in the garden
Plan better garden Wi‑Fi by accounting for exterior walls, glazing, router placement and indoor or outdoor access points.
