The Windowsill Rule
Place the router directly on a windowsill. Concrete and brick walls act as a shield, blocking the signal. Glass allows the 4G signal to pass through easily.
📶
Stay High
Position the device on a high shelf or cupboard. Placing it on the floor is bad. Fewer obstacles between the router and the tower mean a better connection.
🔌
Power Up
Keep the router plugged into the charger when at home. Pocket routers often reduce their signal strength automatically when the battery is low to save power.
📺
Avoid Electronics
Keep the router at least 1 meter away from laptops, TVs, or microwaves. They create electronic "noise" that interferes with the Wi-Fi signal.
