How to improve your home Wi-Fi system in 5
minutes

2. • Wi-Fi is just radio waves and many things can cause interference, but a
strong Wi-Fri signal can give you faster performance and better
coverage distance, so it’s important to properly position and configure
your router for optimal signal strength. I will show you how in just a few
minutes. That’s all the time it takes.

4. All you really must do is position
your router well and choose the
ideal Wi-Fi channel to optimize
your network. Of course, buying
a new router that supports
modern, improved Wi-Fi
standards may also offer you a
signal strength and speed boost.

Step 2: Position your router

6. • It might take a little experimentation to
find the best one, but you can get help
choosing a Wi-Fi channel using the Wi-
Fi Analyzer app for Android phones and
tablets, which will monitor the Wi-Fi
networks near you and recommend the
least-cluttered Wi-Fi channel for your
network. Unfortunately, similar apps
aren’t available for iPhone or iPad due
to the limitations Apple places on app
developers.

Things that are killing your phone battery

8. • We've all been there: we're stuck in a waiting
room at the doctor's, a repair shop, or maybe
even the DMV, so we whip out our phones and
play Candy Crush or Clash of Clans to pass the
time. Matching three pieces of candy and
conquering our friends (and gloating
afterwards), might be a short-term solution
for boredom, but these apps place a heavy
load on our batteries with their online
connectivity and flashy graphics. If you want to
conserve your phone's power, you're going to
want to keep the gaming to a minimum.
Step 1: Games

9. Lesson 2: Smartphones
You'd be hard-pressed to find a lot of people who don't
constantly glance at Facebook on their phones
throughout the day. Social media is great for keeping in
touch, seeing what your friends are doing, and getting
annoying game requests from a distant relative. But
keeping a vigilant eye over your Facebook app is a
surefire way to get you down to 20 percent battery life
by around noon.

10. Step 3: Screen brightness
Nowadays, there are phones with gigantic
screens that provide great real estate for
watching HD movies or playing console-
quality games. Though it's important to see
what you're doing, you might not be aware
of the fact that keeping your screen's
brightness all the way up is killing your
battery. Unless you're trying to get a tan
from all of that illumination, help conserve
power and dimming the screen a bit. And
quit using the screen as a flashlight. They
have apps for that now.

11. • Bluetooth accessories are nifty gadgets that
can help us be more productive during the day
and provide a bit of a convenience as well.
Whether you're syncing a wireless headset or
a portable speaker, hooking up a device via
Bluetooth is easy and quick. But if you're not
going to be using it, you might as well disable
Bluetooth. It might not be the worst when it
comes to draining your power, but constantly
having it enabled and not using it is just a
waste.
Lesson 4: Enabling Bluetooth

12. Lesson 5: Wrap-up
Some of us would literally be lost without our GPS or
location-based services enabled. After all, it's almost a
routine for people to check into places like
restaurants, concert venues, and more on social
media, and GPS helps us get there. But if you've got it
on all of the time, you might not have enough battery
power left to help you finish a trip. Thankfully, some
map services, like Google Maps, allow you to
download maps for offline use, which will help you
conserve your data as well.

13. Life needs a soundtrack and we all turn
to services like Pandora, Rhapsody, and
more to help color our days with song.
Unfortunately, one of the most popular
of these services, Spotify, also happens
to be one of the biggest battery killers.
That 11-hour, post-break up playlist you
made full of Dashboard Confessional,
The Get Up Kids, and Jimmy Eat World?
Yeah, it won't last three hours if you
keep it going. Time to break up with
your music app, at least for a little
while.
Step 6: Snapchat
