Winter is officially here, and if your household is anything like ours at More HQ, the streaming queues are stacked, and everyone is cooped up on the couch fighting over the remote.

BUT good news! Your More nbn^® is built for this. In saying this, a few simple tweaks can take your Wi-Fi from "pretty good" to "cinema-worthy" and we're here to walk you through them.

Router placement is everything

Your Wi-Fi router loves open space and hates being stuffed inside a cabinet or behind a TV. Place it somewhere central and elevated, off the floor and away from walls.

Refresh your setup

If you used your setup to binge the Game of Thrones finale, it might be time for an upgrade. Most Wi-Fi routers, cables and other hardware usually need an upgrade after 3-5 years.

Go wired for the big screens

If your smart TV or gaming console is close to your router, plug it in via an Ethernet cable. It takes two minutes and the difference in streaming quality is magic, say goodbye to the spinning wheel of doom and that pixelated moment right as the plot gets good.

Consider a mesh system for bigger homes

Thick walls and multi-storey layouts are Wi-Fi's natural enemies. Grab an eero mesh Wi-Fi system to blanket every corner of the house in fast, consistent coverage.

Restart your Wi-Fi router regularly

It sounds almost too simple, but giving your Wi-Fi router a quick restart every few weeks clears the cobwebs and keeps everything running at its best. Thirty seconds of patience for noticeably smoother streaming, we'll take that deal 🤝
