5 Practical Tips to Optimize Your Wi-Fi Router for 4K Streaming & Gaming

Subscribing to a high-speed 50 or 100 Mbps fiber line is only half the equation; your indoor wireless router plays a pivotal role in delivering that bandwidth to your smartphone, laptop, or smart TV. Here are 5 expert tips: 1. Elevate your router at least 4 to 5 feet off the floor in a central room. 2. Separate your Wi-Fi SSIDs into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands—connect your Smart TV and gaming PC strictly to 5 GHz. 3. Avoid placing the router adjacent to microwave ovens or metal cabinets. 4. Change your Wi-Fi channel bandwidth to 80 MHz on 5 GHz. 5. Periodically reboot your optical ONU and router once a month to clear cache tables.
