NBN Modem Relocation

If you’ve noticed weak Wi-Fi signals in certain areas of your home, relocating your modem could be the solution. Whether you’re moving it from the garage to the living room, the study room to the living room, or the bedroom to the living room, here are some tips to ensure you get the best performance from your internet connection.

Why Relocate Your Modem?

Improved Signal Strength: Modems placed in enclosed spaces like garages often struggle to provide coverage to the rest of the house. Moving your modem to a more central location can enhance signal strength and reach.
Reduced Interference: Walls, appliances, and other electronic devices can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. Positioning your modem in a less cluttered area can minimize these disruptions.
Better Accessibility: Having your modem in a living area makes it easier to manage connections and troubleshoot issues as they arise.

Best Locations for Your Modem

Living Room: This is often the heart of the home and a great spot for your modem. Keep it on a shelf or a high surface to maximize signal distribution throughout the house.
Study Room: If you spend a lot of time in your study, consider placing the modem here for a strong connection during work or study hours.
Bedroom: For those who use devices in the bedroom, moving the modem here can ensure you have a strong connection for streaming or browsing.

Tips for Relocation

Keep it Elevated: Position your modem on a shelf or high surface to improve signal spread. Avoid Obstacles: Keep it away from walls, metal objects, and large furniture that might block the signal.
Consider Cable Length: Make sure your Ethernet cables are long enough to reach the new location without being stretched too tightly.
Use Wi-Fi Extenders: If relocating doesn’t solve coverage issues, consider adding a Wi-Fi extender to boost signal strength in hard-to-reach areas.
Test Your Connection: After relocating, use a device to test the Wi-Fi signal strength in various rooms. Adjust the modem's position as needed for optimal coverage.
