As devices become smarter, they require and need more bandwidth for their proper functioning. Smartphones, computers, tablets, televisions, refrigerators and now even light bulbs, the demand for internet in our homes is increasing and therefore there are times when the connection is not enough.
Slow internet is one of the biggest problems we can face today, as this greatly slows down our work or any management or procedure you have to carry out.
As we have already mentioned on other occasions, there are countless techniques, remedies and even devices that can help us reinforce the power of the connection, just a few days ago we told you everything about the WiFi Mesh device and how it can be the key to boost your network.

But it can also happen that you don’t want to buy one more device, and that’s why in today’s article we’re going to tell you a small and simple trick that can multiply the speed of your WiFi without spending an extra euro on buying more power or external tools.
To understand this trick, you need to keep in mind that the WiFi connection is a wireless signal emitted from a router. This signal can be stronger or weaker depending on several factors, one of the most determining being the placement of the router.
In case you didn’t know, the router should be placed in an open, uncluttered and as high space as possible. By mistake or ignorance, many users seek to hide this device and move it away from the main parts of the house (because it is aesthetically ugly), however, for it to be able to give the best of itself you must do just the opposite.
What is the coffee table trick?
If we want the WiFi to be as good as possible, we have to apply the coffee table trick. For your WiFi to be as good as possible, it is important that it is in the center of the house (so it reaches all its points equally), but the problem is that many times it coincides with the fact that this is in the middle of the hallway or the living room, and putting the router as it is there does not look good.
On the other hand, if we place the router in the center of the house on a small coffee table that matches the tone or design of the room, it no longer clashes so much with the rest of the home, so it does not affect the aesthetics of the home.
It is important that only the router is on the table and there are no other objects such as pots or speakers. And being in the center of the house, in an elevated and unobstructed place, you will be able to see that your WiFi signal is going to be much stronger and faster than before.
