The Mesh Router Placement Strategy That Finally Gave Me Full Home Coverage

Slow internet in certain rooms? Your router placement could be to blame. Whether you're using a single Wi-Fi router or a mesh network, positioning your hardware correctly can make a major difference in speed, reliability, and coverage. Hiding your router in a cabinet or tucking it behind your TV might look tidy, but it's probably weakening your signal. After years of testing mesh routers and traditional systems, one thing is clear: location matters. A central, elevated position with minimal obstructions delivers the strongest, most consistent Wi-Fi performance across your home. And while mesh systems give you more flexibility, placing nodes in the wrong spots—too close, too far, or near metal and concrete—can tank your speeds. If you want faster downloads, smoother streaming, and fewer dead zones, don't guess. Here's how to optimize your router or mesh system placement for maximum internet speed and whole-home Wi-Fi coverage. Still, location is everything when setting up your router and satellite extenders, which are also sometimes called nodes (or Points if you use Nest Wi-Fi). Their specific location significantly affects the system's performance. Internet is already expensive, with over 63% of US adults paying $195 or more on average, so if you've invested in a mesh router system, you should be getting the speeds you're paying for. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind as you go. Where is the best location to place your mesh router? Mesh routers and other Wi-Fi devices perform best when located out in the open and off the ground. Netgear First, you'll want the main router, or the mesh device wired to your modem, to be located as centrally in your home as possible. That's the same approach you'd take with a single router, and the reasoning is the same: Routers put out Wi-Fi signals in all directions, so placing your router in a central location within your home will maximize your connection. Locating local internet providers That goes double for mesh systems, where the strength of the connection near your nodes will largely depend on the strength of the incoming signal from the main router. A stronger connection between the two will help ensure you're getting the fastest Wi-Fi speeds throughout your home. Your options for moving the router might seem limited by the location of your modem and the incoming wiring for your home's internet connection, but an extra-long Ethernet cable can come in handy here, allowing you to move the router away from where the modem sits if necessary. If that's impractical or you'd prefer to keep the cables to a minimum, you'll at least want to move that main router out into the open, preferably as high off the ground as possible. This guide from Asus highlights a mesh rule of thumb -- for the best performance, try to keep each device in your setup no more than two rooms away from another one. Asus Move those extenders around Once the main router is situated in the best spot possible, you'll want to pick out good spots for the extenders. With most systems, you can connect each device to the main router with an Ethernet cable for the fastest speeds possible, but most people prefer to connect everything wirelessly to reduce clutter. Since Wi-Fi is slower than Ethernet, you'll want to be extra strategic about where you place the extenders throughout your home. Again, out in the open and off the ground is your best bet for a clear signal, but you'll also want to consider the layout of your home, as physical obstructions between the main router and the extenders can slow things down. Generally speaking, a good rule of thumb is to try and keep the devices in your mesh setup no more than two rooms away from each other. The thickness and material of your walls can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal, especially if they're built with dense materials like brick or concrete, which can make it difficult for Wi-Fi signals to penetrate. You'll also want to watch out for electronic interference from TVs and other large appliances. If you're sticking a mesh extender in the kitchen, resist the urge to hide it on top of the fridge; move it away from your appliances altogether. Most mesh systems come with apps that include placement guides, signal strength checks and other diagnostic tools to help you ensure everything is in the best spot possible. Screenshot by Ry Crist/CNET Furniture can also block Wi-Fi signals, so if you have anything large or bulky between two of your mesh devices, consider relocating it. Aquariums are another classic antagonist for your mesh setup, as Wi-Fi has difficulty transmitting through water. The best way to ensure that your mesh network is as well-connected as possible is to open its app and check the signal strength of each device, which is something most systems offer. You can also find system-specific guidance online at the links below: Avoid these dead zones If you've got a back corner of your home where the signal drops out, it might be tempting to stick a mesh extender smack in the middle of that dead zone to boost your speeds. In a lot of cases, that'd be a mistake. Remember, like your phone or laptop, your mesh extenders need to connect wirelessly with the main router in your setup. If that back corner is a dead zone for your phone or laptop, it'll likely be a dead zone for your mesh extender too. The better approach is to place that extender adjacent to the dead zone in a spot where it'll have an easier time connecting with the main router. In some cases, that might be halfway between the dead zone and the main router, but you might need to experiment a bit. Hit the sweet spot, and the Wi-Fi signal it puts out should be a healthy one, and one that'll extend into the dead zone to bring it back to life. A speed test can help you see how your Wi-Fi is holding up from room to room. James Martin/CNET Run a speed test Apart from the diagnostic tools in your mesh router's app, the fastest way to check on your system's performance is to run speed tests. There are plenty of free services online that we recommend, any of which will tell you in a minute or less the upload and download speeds on whatever device you're using. However, our top recommendation is Ookla thanks to its consistency and reliability. This is also a tool that we often use to determine speeds offered by different internet providers. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) For the best intel, grab your laptop or phone and run multiple speed tests in each room of your house where you need a usable Wi-Fi signal. Ultimately, you should have a good ballpark sense of where speeds are the steadiest and where they dip. From there, you could try moving your extenders to try and balance things out, or you could consider buying an additional extender to fill in any gaps. Either way, your home should be all set with a strong signal wherever needed. You now have the knowledge to start placing your mesh router in the best spots in your home. Chris Monroe/CNET Other considerations for your mesh router Just remember that your mesh router can only offer speeds that are as fast as what you're paying for from your ISP. If speeds are widely insufficient in your home, then it might be time to consider upgrading to a faster plan (and it might be worth seeing if your ISP will let you try a faster plan for a few days to see if that is, indeed, the problem). Your ISP might also be able to provide you with an updated modem that'll bring better, faster speeds to your mesh system to begin with. Can't hurt to ask. If speeds still seem slower than you'd like, and your ISP isn't the answer, there are a few other things you can try. For starters, if your provider's modem is a gateway device that doubles as a router, you'll want to disable its Wi-Fi network so that it doesn't interfere with your mesh system's Wi-Fi network. Speaking of interference, it's possible that a neighbor's Wi-Fi network is interfering with yours. To remedy that, hop into your mesh router's app and look for channel settings that let you tune your network to a different part of the Wi-Fi airwaves, potentially steering away from whatever channel nearby networks use. You'll also want to ensure that your mesh system's firmware is updates, which should be easy to check within its app. For more, check out our picks for the best Wi-Fi 6 routers, and how to find free secure Wi-Fi wherever you go.

Nosy Golden Retriever's Adorable Tantrum Over Sleeping Guests Is the Perfect Way to Start the Day

Nosy Golden Retriever's Adorable Tantrum Over Sleeping Guests Is the Perfect Way to Start the Day originally appeared on PetHelpful. Having guests over can require some planning, a little shopping, and lots of cleaning, but for dogs, it's a dream come true! Outgoing pups who love attention thrive when friends and family come to visit, just like Tobi the Golden Retriever. He and his fur brother, Ace, are typically the most polite hosts, but some early morning shenanigans on July 22 nearly woke up their guests! The dog's dad knew he had to capture the priceless moment on film when Tobi began throwing the most adorable tantrum over his sleeping guests. He was ready for them to wake up and start the day! The silly dog was more than willing to take matters into his own paws, even if he became his guests' new alarm clock. But just wait until you see who his guests are! Aww, what a sweet boy! His noises are too cute, even if he sounds more like a motorcycle than a dog. Tobi's sound effects would be an effective alarm clock to say the least, but not every house guest wants to be woken up with a drool and wet nose. Tobi is so excited to start another day with his guests, but he's a bit offended that they're still asleep. Luckily, he found the perfect solution to that problem! Even so, there's no way his dad was letting him wake everyone up on his own accord."How will they know sun is up unless I am breathing over them?" One commenter asked. That's precisely what Tobi is thinking! He knows his services are needed on the other side of the guest room door, but his dad is there to remind him that patience is a virtue. Fortunately for the nosy dog, his patience paid off beautifully once his friends woke up. Just wait until you see who they are! That smile says it all! I've never seen such a happy dog before, but it's almost hard to believe that this was the same pup grumbling up a storm while everyone was asleep. Clearly, he's one social dog! Needless to say, Tobi had a blast with his Yorkie and Labrador Retriever besties, though only time will tell if he'll ever live down this viral moment. Looking for more PetHelpful updates?

For two Palestinian artists, making S.F. theater is resistance

Hend Ayoub and Hanna Eady's plays might not seem to have much in common. Ayoub's 'Home? A Palestinian Woman's Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness' is an autobiographical solo show about becoming an actor in a world where you're always too Arab, too Israeli or just simply too foreign. Eady and Edward Mast's 'The Return' is a mysterious two-hander set in an auto body shop in which an Israeli Jewish customer keeps peppering a Palestinian mechanic with intrusive questions most of us wouldn't ask strangers. But when two Palestinian Israeli artists make theater in San Francisco in the same month, as mass starvation threatens Gaza, perhaps it's inevitable that commonalities emerge. San Francisco Playhouse's 'Home?' runs through Aug. 16, at Z Below, and Golden Thread Productions and Art2Action Inc.'s 'The Return' begins performances Aug. 7 at the Garret at ACT's Toni Rembe Theater. In advance of both runs, the Chronicle spoke to Ayoub and Eady about their relationship to the news, their homeland and their art. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. Eady: Where we are in the north, in the Galilee — Gaza is in the south — we could hear the ground rumbling and the air force 24 hours a day in the skies. When they started the war against Iran, a siren would go, and you have to find a bomb shelter. Most people in Palestinian villages don't have bomb shelters, and we'd just sit and say, 'Well, let's hope it's not going to land on my house.' Q: Hend, 'home' is a loaded term for you, since it's the title of your play, but when's the last time you were back in your native Haifa? Ayoub: A few months ago. Actually, I was in shelters as well — not this time, a few months before, when Hezbollah was still in play. Over there, there are apps (where) you get the sirens. You just hear that sound, and you just start running. For me, I felt better being there with my family instead of being here worrying about them. More Information 'Home? A Palestinian Woman's Pursuit of Life, Liberty & Happiness': Written and performed by Hend Ayoub. Directed by Carey Perloff. Through Aug. 16. $40. Z Below, 470 Florida St., S.F. 415-677-9596. 'The Return': Written by Hanna Eady and Edward Mast. Directed by Eady. Performances start Aug. 7. Through Aug. 24. $20-$130. The Garret at ACT's Toni Rembe Theater, 415 Geary St., S.F. 415-626-4061. Ayoub: To me, the news was very different after Oct. 7 happened. In the beginning, I was watching the news and just crying for the Israelis because I was in shock. Like, how could they do this? But then when Gaza happened, and it shifted, and you see the number of deaths, and you're crying for Palestinians in Gaza, but you're not seeing any of it on the news. It explains, I think, why Israelis don't care for the people in Gaza, because they don't see any of the images at all. Eady: I'm going to say the forbidden word: It's a genocide. And if you're not watching it and not seeing the images, it's still faraway land. Even if it's on the news, it's their news. And it might not be true, because they lie. Ayoub: When you're saying (Americans and Israelis) don't see images, they don't get exposed to other stories, other narratives, how are they going to know the other? In Israel, they don't know any Arabs. We don't even mix. Eady: You're back to back. Ayoub: Arabs go to Arab schools. Jews go to Jewish schools. All they see is awful coverage in TV and film, the way we're portrayed as the enemy, the villain, the terrorist. Eady: On Oct. 7, 2023, I was supposed to go to D.C. to work with Ari Roth, (the Jewish artistic director of Voices Festival Productions), on a play that I wrote before Oct. 7, called 'Almonds Blossom in Deir Yassin.' Deir Yassin is the site of the first massacre in 1948. (Roth) called. He said, 'What do you think? Should we do it?' I said, 'There is no better time.' If the war is going to stop us from creating and putting (on) this kind of important work, then we would never do theater. There's always a war. 'Deir Yassin' is a forbidden word to utter, but if we don't, then what? It's a wound that never healed. Q: Do you feel you have certain expectations placed on you as Palestinian artists about what kind of art you're allowed to or supposed to make? Ayoub: We have so many different Palestinians. You have the Palestinians who stayed on the land in 1948 and became Israeli citizens and didn't flee. You have the Palestinians that fled at gunpoint and stayed out when Israel closed the borders. You have Palestinians who you see here in America, the Palestinians who got stuck in Lebanon and Jordan refugee camps and in the West Bank and Gaza. Because we have so many stories and perspectives, some might say, 'Why aren't you writing about what's happening in Gaza and the occupation?' For me, I'm just writing my personal story and my perspective as someone who was born and raised there. Eady: A lot of the stories were not told to us because there's so much shame. It's not a heroic story. We ran away. We didn't put (up) a good fight in 1948. My job, to tell the story, it's an obligation. It's part of who I am. I have to continue to bang at the door until my story is heard. Q: For the Arab characters in your plays, what is home? Eady: (In 'The Return'), for him (an unnamed character played by Nick Musleh) to free himself from the oppressive system and the racism, it's going to require a full expression of who he is. For a long time in the play, he's having a hard time to say, 'I'm a Palestinian.' We grew up brainwashed by the Israeli system to say we're Israelis. The word 'Palestine' was never uttered in my house. Ayoub: It wasn't allowed. Eady: In (my) play, home for him is really (that) first he has to say who he is and then be able to have enough courage, although he's going to be punished, to say 'I'm going home,' and his home (is) most likely a destroyed village. Home is to be able, not that they have to live in Palestine, but to have the right to come. Just like any Jewish American, they have this birthright. Some of them go; some of them don't. They choose. We don't. Ayoub: Home is something that most people, I think, take for granted because they were born in a place where they belong, where they're part of the whole. For us, we don't really belong anywhere. If we're talking specifically about people like us, Palestinian Israelis, home is taken away from you, even if you want to claim it. Even if you want to see yourself as Israeli, you can't, because you're reminded every time that you're not one of us: 'This is the land of the Jews, and you're not Jewish. You're a second-class citizen.' Home is like when you belong, you're embraced, you're welcomed, you don't have to whisper your language in Arabic.
