A weak Wi-Fi signal can lead to buffering, audio delays, frozen video, and even disconnections during your test or interview on the Talview platform. This article helps you check your Wi-Fi strength and improve it before joining any live session.
What Might Be Wrong | What You Can Do |
---|---|
You’re far from the router | Move closer to your router or into the same room. Walls and floors can weaken the signal. |
Router is obstructed or buried | Place the router in an open, central location—avoid cabinets or corners. |
Too many devices connected | Disconnect unused devices or ask others to pause streaming/gaming temporarily. |
Using the 2.4 GHz band only | Switch to the 5 GHz band for faster, more stable connections (if your router supports it). |
Router or device is outdated | Restart your router. If the issue persists, consider a hardware upgrade. |
Interference from appliances | Move away from microwaves, cordless phones, and Bluetooth devices which may interfere with Wi-Fi. |
