### Your Router's In The Worst Possible Place For WiFi
Routers end up wherever the **phone line comes in** - usually hallway or front door, which is rubbish for WiFi coverage. Moving it somewhere central transforms your wireless coverage throughout the house.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Central location and height matters - router on a shelf in the middle of your property gives way better coverage than tucked in a corner by the floor.

Good to Know
> 📞 **Older property?** Sometimes worth running Cat6 network cable instead of extending phone line - faster and more future-proof, especially if you're on fiber broadband. **Mesh WiFi?** If moving router doesn't fully solve coverage issues, mesh WiFi system might be worth considering - multiple units give seamless coverage throughout. **Exeter houses?** Thick walls in older properties make router position crucial - sometimes needs relocating plus WiFi extenders to get full coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions about Router relocation in Newton Abbot
Why move the router?
Routers often end up wherever the phone line comes in - usually by the front door or in a hallway, which is terrible for WiFi coverage. Moving it somewhere central gives much better signal throughout your property.
Can you move it away from the phone socket?
Yes - I can extend the phone line to the new location using proper telephone cable and sockets. Gives you freedom to position the router where it actually works best for WiFi coverage.
How far can you extend it?
Phone line extensions work well for 10-20 meters. Beyond that, signal quality can suffer. I'll assess your specific situation and advise whether extension is viable or if you need alternative solutions.
What about power and cables?
Router needs power and might need ethernet cables to devices. I'll position it where power's accessible and route cables neatly - sometimes worth adding a power socket if the perfect WiFi position is nowhere near one.
Will it improve my broadband speed?
Won't improve your broadband speed from the provider, but better WiFi position means better signal strength to devices - so devices get the full speed rather than dropping to slower connections due to weak signal.
