You can speed up your Wi-Fi by moving your mesh router to these spots

Netgear Orbi RBK752 review.

Struggling with slow Wi-Fi, dead zones, or random drops? Before blaming your internet provider, take a look at where you've placed your mesh router. Mesh systems are designed to spread your connection across your entire home, but they only work well if each device is in the right spot.

Unlike single-point routers, mesh networks rely on the positioning of multiple nodes to keep signals strong and consistent. Put them in the wrong places, and even a top-tier setup can underperform. That often means the places you work, stream, or game are the ones with the worst signal.
