How to fix your WIFI signal, and prevent drops in service at home.

Is your WIFI constantly Dropping at Home ? So was Mine.

Check the quality of your WIFI signals at home with your smartphone. Use apps such as WIFI analyzer to see which channels are being used.
If you have a lot of signals from your neighbors, consider choosing a channel that is weakest at your home, so your signal has higher boost.
Also, if you have a lot of wireless remote devices such as a 2.4 Ghz phone, or Non-Bluetooth wireless, Consider setting your WIFI router to a 5 GHz channel.
Older devices might not see 5 Ghz. signals, so make sure that yours does, or better, set up your router to support both 2.4 Ghz and 5Ghz. That way, you split up your available bandwidth on 2 different Channels.

note: Cellphone providers might Snag away the 5Ghz signals in the futur.

My home depot mobile app wont launch. I have had any trouble before

First, I'm not a Home Depot representative.
* Check your WiFi connections. (or 4G)
* Using the app while in the store may not work in certain areas due to signal "shadows" (can you hear me?)
* Check with app system requirements. (they usually say "not optimized for this device.")
* Check with the Home depot service counter for additional advice.

We just changed to spectrum and chrome cast won’t connect. What should I do

Chromecast receives a wifi signal. Are you still broadcasting a wifi signal? Is SSID the same? Is it the same band. .. 2.4 or 5 g? If the wifi all matches, then you can reset the chromecast by holding the black reset button down for 20-30 seconds. Reinstall the latest google home app on a smartphone and follow the setup instructions on the app.

I have a Westinghouse smart TV and I have the WiFi home but it is not connecting to the internet or netflix what must I do

Hi Samantha
Assuming that the WiFi is working around the house with other devices like iPhone / iPad and other computers?
The Westinghouse TV is just another device connecting to your Home Network via a WiFi Signal. Unless it uses a dedicated Ethernet Cable at the back of the set > to Modem Router Box.

So... the problem would require setting up the Westinghouse smart TV with the necessary settings.
Netflix is just a web site and will become available when the TV connects to your Network & External Internet GateWay.

First, you need to know your WiFi Name & Password.
I find it easier to use the iPhone as a test device to check the WiFi signal and set up details first. To Test Password etc.
There is a helpful tool on the App Store called iNet - Network Scanner - See Below
So... you must find the settings for Network on your smart tv.
Setting the tv for DHCP is allowing it to Automatically search for an internet connection. Thats what most people do.
Just choose your WiFi name (SSID) & Password.

But... you can choose your own IP addresses if you like to keep all your devices on a known address.
Eg. Your Router or Modem Box Gateway address 192.168.1.1
Each of the other devices have a unique address.
Computer 1 192.168.1.10
Computer 2 192.168.1.20
Camera 1 192.168.1.100
SmartPhone 192.168.1.130
You can use the end numbers between 1 & 255
Your Gateway might also use another IP Group e.g. 10.0.0.0
Your really only interested in making the last numbers different from each other.

Cheers

get a wifi meter, install it to the book.

the neighbors interference.

i run a Dlink Dap1525 , it sees your moving about and directs the signal so you. true magic here. Love mine.

Wifi is weak, and has very limited range. unless you plan out the system.
