Switch to 2.4GHz band for better Range
WiFi routers transmit WiFi in two different ranges, the 2.4GHz range and the 5GHz range. 2.4GHz travels to a far distance as compared to the 5GHz one. Thus, if your phone is connected to the 5GHz network, it might have a weaker strength. Go to your phone’s WiFi Settings and in Advance, choose 2.4GHz networks only. This will allow your phone to connect to the 2.4GHz by default. Though if you want to do some high-quality content or game streaming, 5GHz is recommended and you should switch back to it if you need.

Check your smartphone case
This tip may seem dumb to you at first, but I’ve tested this out myself. It does not help you to find a good WiFi spot but helps you to increase WiFi reception on your device. A lot of smartphone covers that we use have some metallic part on them, like a kickstand or something. Such metallic objects can obstruct WiFi reception on your Android smartphone. Try removing your cover and then try the WiFi Analyzer app on your phone. It might give you a better result.
