What are Dead Zones, and how can I eliminate them?

What is a Dead Zone?

A Dead Zone is any area in your home where Wi-Fi coverage is weak or nonexistent, preventing devices from connecting to the internet or causing poor performance.

What causes a Dead Zone?

Dead zones occur when the radio waves from your router are blocked or disrupted. Common causes include:

  • Obstructions: Thick walls, large metal appliances, and furniture.
  • Interference: Wireless devices like baby monitors, security systems, and microwaves.
  • Weak Signal: The router’s signal may be too weak, especially at the edges of its coverage area.

How do I eliminate Dead Zones in my home?

To eliminate dead zones and ensure optimal Wi-Fi performance throughout your home, consider adding a Mesh Wi-Fi Node/Wi-Fi Booster to amplify Wi-Fi signal to reach hard-to-cover areas like basements or attics or even a garage.
