I have poor coverage with my existing wireless network. Do I have to buy new equipment? Can Litefly IT Computer Repair help?

What are a couple of simple tips you might have to help the average homeowner get the most from their wireless router or access point?
Wireless technology is really nothing more than special radios that send and receive data. Radio has been around for over 120 years, and they all rely on antennas for a good signal and reception.
So … the number one thing to remember to get the most out of your wireless network is to get your router or access point off the floor and out from behind any other electronics. Get those antennas up high where they can “see” the network!
By simply putting your wireless router as high as is practical on a shelf can make a huge difference in range and it costs you nothing. (Just make sure to keep it away from fluorescent bulbs! They work on a similar frequency to your wireless network and can cause interference issues.)
Can we have one more simple tip for improved wireless coverage?
Avoid placement near mirrors! Why? Mirrors are coated with various types of metallic “paints” to provide the reflective surface. Wireless technology for today’s consumers will penetrate wood and drywall, but NOT metal. This means mirrors!
What about other types of metal such as monitors, computer towers, (you can place your wireless router on top of your tower), and printers interfering with your wireless signal?
Getting your wireless router above all your electronics will significantly improve the reliability and coverage of your wireless network. And the cost to you to make these changes? Nothing!
