Why is my WiFi signal bad?

Many factors can affect your WiFi coverage and speed: physical distance, obstructions, interference, router capacity, bandwidth hoggers, and much more. To find out the real reason, you just need to cross out the factors one by one.

“But what to start with?
Start with analysis - use NetSpot Home!”

1. Start with Inspector mode

Start using the NetSpot WiFi analyzer app with its Inspector Mode first to quickly assess the local WiFi situation and learn how many networks are available in the same area, which bands and channels they broadcast on, and how strong their signals are.

2. Check for WiFi channel interference

Sort the WiFi networks you discovered by their channel, and determine which non-overlapping channel (1, 6, and 11) is utilized the least. Afterwards just configure your router to use it so that you can enjoy a faster and more stable connection to the internet.

3. Switch to Survey Mode

Check your WiFi coverage throughout your home to detect the weak spots. Heatmaps will come in handy here.

4. Do the adjustments

Once you have determined the issue, you might want to remove the sources of interference, relocate your router and configure it based on the collected information.

5. Perform another WiFi survey

Switch NetSpot to the Survey Mode again and check if you’ve been able to achieve the desired coverage. If not, change the location of your router or install a WiFi signal booster to eliminate all signal dead zones.

If you follow these simple steps for analyzing a WiFi network with NetSpot Home, you should be able to achieve the best coverage possible and avoid all the WiFi-related issues so many home users often complain about.

Inspector Mode

NetSpot quickly collects real-time information about the surrounding WiFi networks and presents the gathered wireless data as an interactive table. Easily sort the table by any column or zero in on a specific WiFi network.

The table includes

Names of the available WiFi networks

WiFi channels of the available WiFi networks

Bands

Security settings

Signal level

And much more

Survey Mode

The Survey Mode is intended for performing WiFi site surveys and turning the collected information into interactive heatmaps that reveal all areas of signal weakness or excessive interference at a glance.

Visualizations

For the most precise analysis, check our visualizations that assist in comparing Wi-Fi signals by their various network connection parameters. Visual analysis has always been the best approach to examine specific signal values.

Signal level

It displays the strength of your WiFi signal, which is important in combination with other values showing how the signal level corresponds to the interference level for example.

Signal-to-Interference Ratio

In signal-to-interference ratio, the latter is specific to co-channel interference from other radio transmitters.

SNR

It compares the level of WiFi signal to the background noise level, the latter being the amount of outside interference determined at each measuring point.
