A dropped video call during an important meeting is usually a router problem, not an internet-plan problem — here is what actually fixes it.
What actually moves the needle
- Router placement: central, elevated, away from thick walls and metal appliances — this alone fixes most weak-signal problems.
- A mesh system (not just a Wi-Fi extender) if your home is larger than roughly 90m²/1,000 sq ft or has multiple floors.
- A wired Ethernet connection for your main work device if video calls matter — Wi-Fi should be the backup, not the primary link, for anything important.
Keep a mobile hotspot as a genuine backup, tested in advance — not just installed as an afterthought the day it fails.
