Better Wi-Fi
Before You Upgrade
Describe what needs to work, check what your measurements include and record the evidence for a change. An upgrade should address a known need.
Start with the affected task, device and place before comparing upgrade options.
Follow the checks in order.
Use the parts that match your setup. Keep the observations that help you choose your next action.
Do you need more speed or better Wi-Fi?
Use the affected task, device and room to choose a first check before changing your internet plan or equipment.
What does your speed test measure?
Understand device-to-internet, router-to-internet and device-to-router results before comparing the numbers.
Can you keep your router and add coverage?
Understand router, access point and mesh roles so a weak room can lead to a suitable coverage plan.
When is a router replacement justified?
Check the exact model, support status and observed limits so a replacement has a clear purpose.
What to record before a Wi-Fi coverage review
Prepare a short private brief with required spaces, actual symptoms, equipment details and checks already tried.
Optional next step for local readers
