Tricks to improve mobile coverage at home or other closed places

Because, they are multiple factors which can affect our mobile (phone) and Wi-Fi coverage, within a closed and secluded place, like most homes; Next, we will provide a series of tricks or recommendations (good practices and tips) to follow in order to try to have better coverage on these sites.

And given that they are all very different, some simple and others difficult, the ideal is that each person applies them in the order they deem appropriate according to their own presented reality, until they find the best one for themselves.

And these are the following:

Try to locate the best location (room)

Try to locate the best location (room)

Every structure of housing (house, apartment or others)obviously has a very different physical structure to others. Therefore, the phone signal strength very possibly manage to penetrate in different ways, the various rooms (zones) of each home. Above all, in regards to quality, stability and intensity (potency).

For this reason, and assuming that it is our home, or a similar place that we frequently frequent, the ideal is try and detect in which room of the house (or other places), our mobile device or most of the used within it, usually have more signal.

In the first point, to have it as ideal point when receiving calls. And, secondly, to try to detect what makes it more prone to a better mobile coverage reception. Either to try further enhance that ability. or for try to reproduce the effect in other different rooms.

With the wifi coverage everything is very similar. That is, once we have located the different routers or access points in our home, the quality, strength and stability of the network signal, is not usually homogeneous throughout the structure.

Therefore, for both cases, it is necessary to carry out a simple study looking at the phone or Wi-Fi strength bars. Or, using special measurement applications, to try to locate the best room in the house. Which, in general, is usually the one in which the mobile signal or Wi-Fi, it must pass through the fewest number of walls possible, or the thinnest walls.

Remove the case or protector from the device

Remove the case or protector from the device

Once we have detected the ideal place, from our house or another, that is, where the mobile coverage is the best; another recommendation to try is, remove the cover or protector of our mobile device to test what effect it has with respect to coverage.

This is because, in some cases, said elements may be poorly designed or constructed. What can cause them to interfere in the process of mobile/Wi-Fi signal reception, by possibly blocking access to the mobile/Wi-Fi antenna.

Another important fact to keep in mind is, the way we hold (grip) the mobile device. Since, on some occasions, we may possibly be blocking the mobile antenna/Wi-Fi by holding it in your hand. To do this, we can test the coverage in different places by holding the mobile in different ways or leaving it located on an object. For example, a table or chair.

Use airplane mode

Use airplane mode

This trick or recommendation aims to turn airplane mode on and off of our mobile device, to force it to search for an available telephone network. Trying like this, to connect to a new of greater power or quality, or the same, but with better stability than the previous one.

This step is often useful, because, in general, the mobile devices do not automatically select the telephone network with the best signal. Which, with Wi-Fi coverage, is usually the case, in most cases. Therefore, when we change location, whether we are in our home or in someone else's, in the face of a poor mobile coverage, we can force it to look for other optimal telephone networks among those available.

Check SIM card

Check SIM card

If, at a given moment, we have poor mobile coverage and none of the previous steps have been successful, something to try is the possible SIM card failure. This can be done in 2 ways. Firstly, turning off the mobile and removing it, to clean it and check its physical condition, to then re-insert it and try again if there was a positive effect on mobile coverage.

And secondly, withdrawing it temporarily or permanently, to try a different sim card, and so, check if there was a positive effect on mobile coverage. What will determine if we change it permanently, or reinsert it and use it.

Change carrier or technology used

Change carrier or technology used

As is well known by many, all telephone operators have a different mobile coverage, which also tends to vary depending on the technology applied in different areas. Therefore, if after all, we have not managed to increase or improve mobile coverage in our house, the next logical step is to evaluate switch phone technology and even of telephone provider.

To do this, we could continue with our current operator, but consulting which infrastructure has the best coverage in our area, to acquire a suitable mobile device and SIM to the same. Or change the telephone operator, after confirming with them, that they do have an infrastructure superior to the previous one. Namely, 3G, 4G or 5G technology available in the location of our house.

Or alternatively, we could invite home, some friends or acquaintances, with various latest mobile devices and with different carriers or phone plans, to evaluate ourselves, if said option will help us to improve mobile coverage in our house.
