Enjoying your iPod Touch and its facilities to its fullest can only be possible if you have a good connection with good connectivity, that is, proper Wi-Fi signals. A fast and stable connection is mostly needed for streaming High Definition content on your iPod. Many consumers face the problem of receiving low signal quality at their iPods. Given below are some of the many ways you can improve signal reception on your iPod Touch.

iPod Workarounds:-

Step 1:

Take your iPod closer to the router. The closer you get, the better signal will be. If you are not able to do so, at least make sure your router comes in the iPod’s line of sight, without obstructions in between.

Step 2:

Keep your iPod away from places where you have your electrical devices like wire-free phones, TVs and stuff. Such devices too transmit signals in many forms and can interfere with your router’s signals.

Step 3:

Re-position your fingers holding the iPod such that they do not cover the antenna. This is a hidden obstruction which people usually neglect, and suffer from low signal quality and lag. So, if you hold your iPod like you hold a sushi, try holding it like a mic instead.

Router Workarounds

Step 1:

Reboot the router. Turn it off, and wait for about 10-15 seconds before you turn it back on. This allows your router a fresh startup and re-initiating of its connections.

Step 2:

Keep your router updated to its latest firmware. The updates help in maintenance of your router, basically resulting in good connectivity. Each router needs to be updated in a different way, so you should do your homework and know how you should do it properly, else you just might end up bricking it.

Step 3:

Place your router right in the center of the place from where people will initiate connections. If you have more than one router, make sure each one is planted far away from each other, you might not want your signals to clash if you want good connectivity. Same goes with the other appliances.

Step 4:

Commonly known, the tip of the antenna sends out signals perpendicularly with respect to the position of the antenna. So if you the router is kept on the ground floor and you are working upstairs or in the basement, you’ll have to tilt the antenna and position it horizontally.

As of now, I have guided you through the most basic workarounds that can help you establish a solid, stable and interruption-free connection with your Wi-Fi router. You will have a lot better gaming experience, for you won’t be suffering from excessive latencies, and your overall internet downloading speed might also get improved. You can still go a step further and encase your router antenna with an aluminum soda can, though not recommended, but many people say that it has helped their connectivity problems to come down.
