If yours are parallel, it would be best to switch it up and go perpendicular. The reason? Wi-Fi works best when signals are parallel to a device’s internal antenna, which are horizontal in laptops and vertical in desktop computers. 

#2. Stagger heavy bandwidth usage.

If you have a lot of people in your house all using a lot of bandwidth (like trying to stream, download, and game at the same time), try coming up with some kind of chart to stagger the usage. You’ll all be a lot happier in the end!

#1. Put your old beer cans to use.
