The WiFi It offers wireless internet connection, allowing devices such as mobile phones, computers and tablets to connect to networks without the need for cables.
WiFi technology allows data transmission through radio waves, enabling users the opportunity to browse the internet, download files, play online games, watch videos or movies, and listen to their favorite music.
But all of us have been able to “stick” the WiFi signal at least once, and the film we enjoy cutting abruptly.
The first move we make is to head to the router to check if the LED lamps are on fixed or some damage has occurred.
Most of the time this is an instant network of the network, so we usually reassert the router with the on/off.
But when the connection comes back, speed is again slow and we have a “bad” signal. What is the fault?
Let’s look at some useful instructions that you can follow to have better wifi in your home.
- Place the router in an elevated position, e.g. on a closet or shelf to achieve a larger signal range. If you have placed your router in a distant corner of the house, then the signal power is reduced. The signal is more powerful at closest distances, so you should reduce the distance between the router and any connected device. Therefore, the ideal location for the router is a central location (eg the center of your home).
- Avoid mounting the router near windows so that the signal is not lost outside your space.
- Remove objects, especially metallic, in front or next to the router, so as not to hinder the WiFi signal. Whether it is a metal shelf, the refrigerator, or the water heater, the large metal objects reflect and “absorb” the WiFi signal, creating “dead zones”. If the router is right next to a metal object, this dead zone can be a whole wing of our home. And when we talk about metal objects, we also refer to those we do not see (eg metal pipes inside the wall, a steel security door covered with wooden veneer). In addition, both lifts and televisions can create interference. So make sure you place your router at least 5 meters away from other electronics and especially from the microwave oven, so as not to create interference when you warm your food. At the same time, water can prevent the WiFi signal because it is denser than the air, and in particular the large amount of water (eg aquarium).
- Place the router, away from wireless broadcast sources, such as wireless phones and intraneration devices, as they may create interference in your signal.
- If the router has one or more antennas, move them in different directions, targeting the points where you want to improve the signal. At the same time, the router must have the orientation for which it is designed. If it is intended for horizontal mounting, avoid putting it perpendicular to a library or hang it perpendicular to the wall. The inner antennas are precursor to provide optimum coverage, but the diversion of the router angle can cause signal power problems.
- Use Powerline Adapters (Powerline Adapters, Repeaters, Extenders), which always bear the “CE”, at points where the signal is weak.
- If the router has no setting for automatically optimal channel selection, try selecting a channel with less use.
- Change your router’s default passwords and set a new powerful password to protect your home network if someone tries to use your connection. You often change your password.
- Restart from the Router On/Off button at regular intervals.
