Weak Wi-Fi Signal

My phone gets a weak Wi-Fi signal. Everything else in my home is great with it. How do I get my phone to have a better Wi-Fi signal?

    What device are you using?  iPhone's from the 14 series and down are not great for the best reception due to the use of Intel modems.  If you have Bluetooth enabled as well, you are further weakening everything.  

    There are other causes of poor WiFi reception, like interference.  Whether it's a thick part of a phone case covering the antenna bands, appliances, cordless phones, lots of walls and floors to go through, and how your WiFi is configured, are just some of the many potential reasons why you might not have great WiFi reception on your device.  If your router/gateway is setup withbthe 2.4GHz and 5GHz combined.  That alone can greatly impact WiFi range and performance.
