Keeping it simple: Wi-Fi waves are nothing but radio waves similar to electromagnetic waves that is picked up by our mobile phone. The only problematic thing is that the Wi-Fi waves travel shorter distances and gets absorbed by things that get in it way. Hence, slow internet speed. Here are 5 very logical and insanely easy hacks that will guarantee you faster internet.
1) Place The Router At The Centre Of Your House
Since Wi-Fi waves are absorbed by anything that comes in between, try to place the router at the centre most place in your house. This will help emit almost equal strength around the house.
2) Never Ever Put The Router In A Freaking Closet

Hang it or place it but never, put your router in a closed place like a closet or a drawer. The logic is simple; most of the signal strength is getting absorbed by the wooden closet. Hence, very sad internet speed!
3) Avoid Placing The Router On The Ground

The way the home routers are designed, they emit signals downwards. And sadly, the wi-fi waves hardly penetrate through concrete and cement.
4) Try Keeping it As Away From Other Electronics As You Can

TV sets, computers and microwaves interfere with your routers signals. Or better said, anything with a fitted electronic motor will interfere with the strength of the signal.
5) Keep The Antennas In Different Direction
If your modem has two antennas, keep one pointed straight up and the other tilted on the left horizontally.
