Q: QuestionWith this router help with upstairs buffering. I have a t and t with their gateway and hoping this solves my problem

Asked 1 year ago by Tommy.

• A:Answer Hi Tommy, There are numerous variables within a home network that can impact your router's Wi-Fi signal strength. If your router is too far from your upstairs area, or is not providing sufficient signal despite being within adequate range, a more powerful router can help. However, in some cases, relocating the router, or considering a Mesh Wi-Fi solution, such as our Deco Mesh Systems, may be worthwhile.

Q: QuestionHow far out into my yard should I be able to have a reliable connection if the router is placed by the window on the same side of the house

Asked 3 months ago by Geeksquad.

• A:Answer Hi, Numerous factors within your network environment and home can influence Wi-Fi coverage and connectivity. These factors include, but are not limited to, the placement of the router, obstructions (such as walls and furniture), Wi-Fi interference, and the Wi-Fi band you're connecting to (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz). Generally speaking, if the router is placed by the window of an exterior wall, it should provide decent coverage into the yard, depending on how large the yard is and how far you are from the router.
