Six Tips For Getting The Most From Your Wi-Fi Hub

Better Internet Tips

Whether you’re streaming your favourite Netflix show, getting stuck into a gaming marathon, or Skyping with friends and family overseas, you want the very best from your wi-fi hub – so why not show it some love?! From finding the perfect spot to getting the gadgets to lend a helping hand, we’ve listed six ways you can be sure that your hub will be humming… 

 

 

STAND UP SUPERSTAR

 

Keep your hub upright, rather than on its side, to maximise performance. Even if you like the look of it lying down, it’s standing tall where you’ll get the fastest speeds!  

 

 

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

 

Putting your hub in a cabinet, or in a far-off corner of the house, is one great way to slow your speeds. Instead, let it out in the open, and in a spot that puts it within striking distance of where you’ll be looking for connection. And if that’s not possible… 

 

 

ADAPTING TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS

 

From thick old walls to tiny nooks and crannies, there’s all sorts of reasons your signal won’t get everywhere – which is why powerline adaptors are such a great solution! Banishing blackspots, it’ll keep you covered wherever you are… 

 

 

CODE WARRIORS

 

The wild hunt through drawers when a guest asks for the password is a time-honoured tradition – but we’ve had enough! Just stick it on your hub and you’ll know just where to find it every time. 

 

 

LINK IT ALL IN

 

Computers, smartphones, tablets, TVs, speakers, consoles – there’s a whole lot of devices to make the most of! Make sure everything is connected as it should be and a whole world of wireless wonder awaits…

 

 

GIVE IT THE REBOOT

 

If your hub still isn’t hitting the heights you want, then hit reboot; if the biggest blockbuster franchises in Hollywood can do it, then so can you! An insane amount of connection problems can be solved with this simple step, so don’t be afraid!
