What should you avoid doing with your WiFi router? Telecable help sheet

The 3 most common mistakes people make at home with their WiFi router

The router is essential to your internet connection. It allows you to connect any device to the net. But sometimes people use it wrongly. We will explain some common errors with the routers which can jeopardise the functioning and the security of the router, which can even put your personal information at risk.

These are the basic mistakes most people make that affect their router:

1. Placing router in a low position

It is always recommended to place the router in a fairly high position. Any physical obstacle in the home or office, such as chairs or tables, creates a barrier that can cause the connection to be interrupted.

2. Interference from other devices

Placing the router close to other electronic devices may cause the signal to be worse, and the quality and the speed of the network may not be adequate. Furthermore, the WiFi connection of the equipment may be interrupted.

3. Using unsafe encryption systems

Nowadays, some encryption protocols are no longer considered safe, for example WEP encryption, in which the hackers have caused new security breaches for our passwords. Telecable customers can rest assured that our IT engineers maintain all our systems updated to offer the maximum security.

These are some easy-to-apply tips that can greatly improve the performance of your equipment. Please contact Telecable if you have any questions, and they will be happy to help you.
