Most devices we use \u2013 mobile phones, laptops, tablets, TV\u2019s etc, all use Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet via your home Router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more people working from home, studying, completing schoolwork or homework at home, or just using the Internet for entertainment, a good Internet connection and Wi-Fi are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure your Internet and Wi-Fi work for you, consider your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Internet Connection<\/strong> – Fibre Internet is mostly widely available and much faster, if possible switch to a Fibre Internet connection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Wi-Fi<\/strong> \u2013 Generally the Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides the Router.\u00a0 To ensure good connectivity consider:
      • The Router\u2019s location. In most cases, it should be in a central location in your house (lounge, dining room etc).<\/li><\/ul>
        • What is your house constructed of? \u00a0Many NZ houses are constructed from wooden frames with gib board interior walls which Wi-Fi signals pass through fairly easily, however concrete or bricks can block Wi-Fi signals.<\/li><\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Is the kitchen between your Router and the bedrooms?  Appliances like the fridge or microwave can interfere with Wi-Fi signals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • If your Internet in other parts of the house away from the Router are slow, Wi-Fi Extenders and\/or Mesh Wi-Fi are good options to improve the signal in those parts of your house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              If you have Wi-Fi issues, always do your research, choose the option that works best for you. Don\u2019t just accept what your ISP or big box electronics stores try to sell you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
