Weak WiFi in some rooms

WiFi works near the router but drops or crawls in bedrooms, upstairs or the back of the house.

Likely causes

  • • Router placed in a corner or cabinet
  • • Thick concrete or block walls
  • • Older 2.4 GHz-only router
  • • Weak mobile signal mistaken for weak WiFi

Recommended solution

First move the router to a central, raised spot. If rooms are still weak, add a WiFi extender for one room or a mesh system for several.

Installation: Usually self-install. Book setup if you want the best node placement.

Estimated cost: ₦25,000 – ₦180,000 (sample estimate)

Expected limitations

  • • An extender roughly halves speed for devices connected to it
  • • No WiFi product can fix a weak mobile signal from the network provider

FAQs

Extender or mesh?
An extender suits one weak room. Mesh suits several rooms or floors.
Will it increase my internet speed?
No. It spreads the speed you already have to more rooms.
