To this day, have WiFi connectivity on our mobile phones is essential. And it is that being able to be connected to this network allows us to use it in any application, from games to streaming programs. It is because of this that it is very important to have a good Wi-Fi signal, which you can control in a very simple way.
One of the most important reasons why we wish have a good Wi-Fi signal it is mobility. The terminal has certain tools to achieve this, although the same options are not available on all devices. First of all, what you should do is check the speed of your signal, and that is very easy to see from any mobile phone.
How to check the WiFi signal
The first thing you should do is check the strength of the WiFi signalIf this is adequate, surely the connectivity problem is due to another cause, such as the fact that your signal is being stolen, something very common if the default password is not changed. On your device, go to Settings, select Networks and Internet and then WiFi. Check that your connection is activated and then you will be able to see the signal strength in the Wi-Fi icon, which will be more or less full depending on the signal strength.
In the same way, you will be able to see the speed of the WiFi. For this, go back to Settings, enter Networks and Internet and Wi-Fi. The speed of the connection will be seen under the name of the public networks, you can change it according to the intensity of the signal. According to Google, if it is slow you can send and receive emails and text messages, but the photos will take time to display. If the signal says OK, you can enter web pages and play SD quality streaming videos. If the sign says Fast or Very Fast they are perfect for all kinds of HD content, and navigation will be much more fluid.
At the terminal
If your mobile phone has the smart Wi-Fi option, you will always be able to connect to the best Wi-Fi networks you have memorized and within your range, and you will always prioritize those with the highest intensity. As a general rule, you can find this option in the Network Settings, which varies depending on the terminal.
On the router
Using your mobile phone you will have access to the router, although depending on the operator and the model of the device, the input method will vary. The methods to enter go through enter the router's address in the phone's browser, as well as possible passwords.
When you are inside you must go to the Wi-Fi tab to activate the Smart Wi-Fi option. In addition, you will also have to check the boxes for 5Ghz and 2.4 Ghz connectivity. Thanks to this, your terminal will be able to alternate between the two types of network, depending on its signal quality as you move around your house.
Do not forget that the 5 Ghz frequency is much faster, although it works in a less range, while the 2.4 Ghz is somewhat slower, but has a much greater range. The smart configuration in both will allow you to have a good connection at all times and at any point in your home.
With an app
An available option and something more interesting is to download an application that does all the work for you. The best known is Wifi switcher, which allows you to access the best Wi-Fi signal on your device automatically. When you have to download or install an application, you will be able to see all the networks that are available and at your fingertips, and you will choose the favorites to connect.
This app is designed for users who have several routers in their homes, or even in the office, and mobility causes them to lose the signal continuously. The app will be in charge of changing the connection, so that the user does not perceive the change. In the settings menu you can modify the signal range in order to increase the distance at which WiFi networks are detected.
