How to improve tv Wi-Fi reception?

Recently bought a vizio smart tv with Wi-Fi reception.Wi-Fi signal is very strong with laptop and iphone, however, low and frustrating on the tv even in the same room. The router is only 25 to 30 feet away as we live in a very small home. Is there a way to boost the tv reception that is cost efficient?

Try to boost your router signal, in the worst case you should get a router that can attach a big Wi-Fi antenna unless you can already do that with your current router. Then get a bigger antenna they are sold in computer stores so you should get one thats 7db.

  • Would i get better reception with 4G? Where i live i don't get good service at all. Almost none unless i go to town. I have to text thru a Wi-Fi texting app. If i got a 4G phone like the Iphone 4 or something would i get better reception?
  • Will cell reception get better after I get an iphone5? I currently have a very cheap cell phone that I got for free more than 2 years ago which is not capable of 4G. Now, I'm considering upgrading to an iphone 5. Will that improve the reception and chances that I will get less dropped calls and other problems?
  • Verizon iPhone 4 very slow with 3G reception? Even when I have a full 5 bars of reception on my Verizon iPhone 4, it can still take a very long time to load even the simplest pages or send messages. Usually when this happens, the circular revolving loading symbol that appears next to the "3G" will lag, it won't stay consistently turning which makes me think it's having a hard time loading pages. Also, my messages will sometimes send twice or reach the recipient hours after I send them a text.
  • Replaced iphone screen, now bad Wi-Fi reception? Ok so i just replaced my iphone screen and now the Wi-Fi connection is terrible i'm not even 10ft from away from my router and it doesn't pick up anything!
