WiFi router is one of the most used devices, especially at homes and offices. This device is a simple solution that allows us to connect to the Internet wirelessly. The strength of the signal that is spread by WiFi router depends on the distance between the router and other devices and other factors including the interface. Therefore, the way we place the router is important for its signal stability. If the position isn’t perfect, the Internet connection can be slow and unstable.

Unfortunately, there’s no native software to help us determining the perfect position for WiFi router in a room. The vendors of WiFi routers only provide a software for setting up the WiFi and are not really concerned about the position. Regarding this issue, NetSpot offers the solution for your WiFi router.
