The router is essential to your internet connection. It allows you to connect any device to the net. But sometimes people use it wrongly. We will explain some common errors with the routers which can jeopardise the functioning and the security of the router, which can even put your personal information at risk.

 

These are the basic mistakes most people make that affect their router:

 

 

It is always recommended to place the router in a fairly high position. Any physical obstacle in the home or office, such as chairs or tables, creates a barrier that can cause the connection to be interrupted.

 

 

Placing the router close to other electronic devices may cause the signal to be worse, and the quality and the speed of the network may not be adequate. Furthermore, the WiFi connection of the equipment may be interrupted.
