How to Make Your Wireless Internet Faster

Sometimes wireless connections can be slow and unpredictable. Today we are use to clicking on a page and getting instantaneous results. When that doesn't happen it can leave us frustrated and upset. The truth is, it's not normally your wireless network that is causing your computer to be slow, but interference with your wireless signal. Here are a few tips on how to make your wireless internet faster.

Things You'll Need

• Wireless Internet
• Stronger Wireless internet card/optional

Instructions

1. 

   Make sure your laptop is in an unobstructed area of your house. This means away from any walls or other large electronic devices. Walls are normally the biggest problem as they act as shields from your wireless router. It's common for people to put their computer desks against walls. Many people ask questions like "How do I make my internet connection faster, How do I make my internet download faster, or How do I make my wireless internet faster". All of these have to do with your wireless signal strength. Linksys, Alltel, they are all close to the same speed.

   Find the best wireless hot spots in your home. Walk around with your laptop and monitor your wireless connection signal strength bar. It should be maxed out for the strongest signal.

3. 

   Place your wireless router in a elevated location in an open room. This will give it maximum coverage and increase it's range. You will notice when you go to a library they usually have their router mounted high on a wall or even a ceiling. This is to obtain optimum coverage and increase wireless signal strength.

4. 

   Purchase a stronger wireless card. Wireless card strength depends heavily on what brand, year, and model of laptop computer you have. You can always purchase a better after market wireless card though. Any store that sells a wide variety of computers will also have upgraded wireless cards for sale. They are also available on the internet. This is one of the best ways to get faster internet.
