Increasing Wi-Fi® signal strength

There are a number of things you can do to increase the strength of a Wi-Fi® signal:

Move your device closer to the Wi-Fi® access point.

Move the Wi-Fi® access point away from any potential obstructions or interference.

Don’t cover the Wi-Fi® antenna area of your device (the highlighted area in the illustration).

Wi-Fi® settings

When you are connected to a Wi-Fi® network or when there are Wi-Fi® networks available in your vicinity, it is possible to view the status of these networks. You can also enable your device to notify you whenever an open Wi-Fi® network is detected.

If you are not connected to a Wi-Fi® network, your device uses a mobile data connection to access the Internet (if you have set up and enabled a mobile data connection on your device). By adding a Wi-Fi® sleep policy, you can specify when to switch from Wi-Fi® to mobile data.
