Poll: How Do You Make Your Wi-Fi Go Faster?

How many times have you complained (or your wife, significant other, kids) that the Internet is too slow. After doing all the typical thinks (clear your cache!), you finally think it's with your IP. And, of course, you call them, and they say it's just fine.

  • With the kids doing their schooling online, I had to extend the Wi-Fi using an extra Wi-Fi router I had (connected via ethernet link), to make sure they get strong enough signal and enough bandwidth in the room they are using to study in. With the few days of nice weather we had so far, the kids wanted to do their work while sitting in the garden, which posed quite a challenge for the Wi-Fi, so I had to resort to build a little yagi antenna mod, which fits on the router's antenna, to make it directional, and indeed this trick works (I found the instruction on how to build it on the internet, cannot find the link at the moment, and it is for the 2.4Ghz frequency).

    Today, while sorting the myriad of open Chrome tabs on my laptop, as it happens, I stumbled across the original link I was referring to for the hack, and here it is, if anyone is interested! image
