WiFi signal

Router's invisible broadcast

The WiFi signal is the radio transmission that connects devices to a wireless network.

Signal strength determines connection quality—a weak signal means slow speeds, dropped connections, or dead zones.

I can't get any WiFi signal in the basement.

The signal's stronger near the router.
