Some tips to improve your WiFi connection
-
Connection
Choose how to connect your device: by entering the WiFi parameters (name and password) or by WPS.
Active WPS on both your router and your device and you will have 2 minutes to connect them without entering the wifi password.
- Antenna
If your router has external antennas, place them upwards: in straight angle or in a V.
- Position
Place your router in an elevated position, whether it has external or internal antennas. Do not hide it and avoid obstacles.

Check the WiFi coverage on your device and the distance you are from the router. If you are near and the coverage indicator is low, it may be due to elements that attenuate the signal, such as:
