WIFI Help.

Does anyone know or recommend someone who can come to my home and check my wifi? I’d like some help to optimize and give me suggestions on how to get the most out of my wifi from a speed standpoint? I’ve cut the cord and I am adding more and more smart items to my home. I’ve noticed slower speeds while browsing internet on my phone.
Any help is appreciated. TIA

What kind of speeds are you currently getting? (Also, what is your circuit size coming into the house?)
How big is your house? How many access points do you have?
Is your house wired with data cabling already? (cat 5, 5e or 6)

What’s your internet speed?
What internet speed are you paying for
Who’s your internet provider?
What’s the square footage of your house?
Is your modem/router centrally located?
Are you trying to catch internet outside? If not, where are you having issues? How far is it from your router?

Not saying this is the OP.
But often times people like this will have a cheap ISP provided router crammed in a TV cabinet in a side room and wonder why their wireless sucks.
Then if you suggest APs, moving it anywhere central and visible, mesh, etc. They'll say something like I don't want my router sitting out it's ugly. Then curse the ISP when their streams buffer constantly for sucking when it has nothing to do with the ISP.
Again NOT saying this is the OP but it's the truth.

I would bet a mesh system would help. All the questions in the previous posts need answering before anyone could really help you out.
