THE DEVIL SUGGESTS
Find the maximum range of your Wi-Fi
Walk your own permitted area and find the point where your Wi-Fi becomes heroic, unreliable or both. Map the result rather than leaning out of windows with a phone.
Do it
- Choose a phone or laptop with a Wi-Fi signal app.
- Mark a few safe points around your home and garden.
- Check signal strength and whether a simple webpage loads at each point.
- Note walls, doors and other obstacles nearby.
- Draw a rough coverage map and identify any dead spots.
What next?
Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
