Today, the Internet has become an integral part of a modern man, and without him we cannot imagine a normal weekday day, especially if your job is directly related to it. Modems are devices that distribute the network everywhere and everywhere, but sometimes their work leaves much to be desired and this is happening for various reasons. Let's deal today with how you can enhance the modem signal and that you need to do.
Nuances of modem
Many users believe that the purchase of a modem will solve all the problems with the Internet, but, to great regret, this is not always the case. The modem is an excellent device that allows you to use the Internet to all residents of the apartment or office staff, buildings, depending on the power of the device itself.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that despite the invisibility of the Internet waves, they can also be interrupted and do not reach a certain place due to all kinds of obstacles, including thick walls and other similar factors.
If you bought a 3G modem, it still does not mean that the Internet will be caught on the distance specified in the instructions, and it often happens. Someone will immediately say that in order to gain communication and a modem signal, you just need to purchase a special VEGATEL VT-3G-KIT device. No one doubts the effectiveness of such a set, but:
- First of all, it is expensive, the purchase of such a device will clearly hit your pocket and enhanced waste.
- Secondly, this is not the only way that can help in the problem under consideration.
The settlements distant from the big city often suffer from the lack of a signal, despite the fact that it may be about good coating. Let's find out how to enhance the modem signal and so that without excess costs.
Modem outside the window
First of all, let's talk about the most common ways to enhance the signal of this device. The leading position in the available list occupies the item - place the modem outside the room or on the window opening:
If the modem put on the windowsill or take it out to the very top floor (roof), then the reception to improve it, and at times (percent for 15 - exactly).
If you have a USB type extension, then with it you can place the modem outside the window and thereby improve the reception of the signal. Do not forget that in this case it is not protected from weather conditions - precipitation, wind, etc.
No one says that your modem immediately will give a signal for all 100%, if he did not catch in the house, then he is hardly lying on the street, so you have this in mind.
There are also minuses of such a signal strengthening method, namely:
- Speed \u200b\u200bgrowth is very small
- The user will be tied to a specific place.
- Signal power will be lost if you connect USB wire
Using the reflector
In this case, some large labor will not be needed, so it uses many to enhance the signal. Let's look at such a way:
- For the purposes under consideration, you can use different household items that you find at your hand. For example, DVD disc, saucepan, pot from tin, etc., which will act as a reflector.
- Attach the modem to your chosen item, it will become a signator.
- Now hang the device outside the window - and now the modem signal becomes excellent.
- You can solder the wire to the selected reflector, then connect it to the computer device.
- It should be noted that in this case the cable must be not at a high distance from the manufactured device, this is the key to the success of the whole process.
- The method is effective, but throughout the apartment you walk and catch the Internet, you cannot definitely, in which the main minus of this method is.
According to the experience, it can be said that the gain of the signal in this case takes percentage by 20.
3G antenna
If we speak in a simple language, then the method under review works on the principle of microwave technology, so if you are familiar with that, then make a 3G antenna will not be a problem for you. First, prepare all the necessary tools for this:
- Wire - 3mm in diameter
- Tube of media
- Soldering iron
- Fire and pliers
If you do not understand the system, it is better not to make such an antenna with your own hands, because if you do not quite exactly (deviations in millimeters), then all its effectiveness will be reduced to zero. Do not want to do yourself, buy such an antenna in the finished form.
Such an antenna is installed on the street, and so that it must be located to the operator station. It is important here that the antenna is highly located. Then it will bring the maximum effect (will strengthen the modem signal at times).
Antenna cable must be located in some room, and not outside. Connection to the modem is carried out through a special adapter.
In a specialized store, you can find an antenna that can enhance the signal of the device up to 20 dB, so that in efficiency it does not have to doubt.
The methods under consideration are the most common, so which one to use depends on your desire and capabilities.
