Increase Wi-Fi signal range
Wi-Fi
is not an exact science you may never be able to pinpoint why some
places in your house just don't receive a signal. Furthermore, a lot
depends on the antenna on a receiving device. For instance, a laptop may
be able to receive a wireless signal a lot further than a smartphone.
Some routers have a higher range than others (Wi-Fi Nac and those with two or more antennas). It is also possible to swap out the antennas of your router with ones that have a higher gain.
Simply replacing the stock antenna with high gain ones can increase range. If you're comfortable with poking around the settings, you can also check if they allow you to increase the routers transmit power (sometimes called TX Power in settings).
A value of 60 or 70 will be the default but you can increase it to 100 and watch for any improvements in range. The downside of this is that the router may run hotter than normal so you will need to keep it cool.
