How to strengthen the Wi-Fi signal

It's a shame when a neighbor's Wi-Fi is more powerful than a home. To increase its capacity in two ways. Hardware enhancements and software settings. More on signal strength affects the location of the router, the type of building and the device that receives the signal.

"As the boat name, so it will float." Unfortunately, this saying does not apply to Wi-Fi. Call your Internet «100mb / sek», and his power, oddly enough, did not increase. It primarily depends on the quality of the antenna. Here is the rule: "How much money you will spend on the antenna, so much power she will give." But in contrast to the mystical ways to increase the speed of the Internet, the wireless signal susceptible to manipulation.

Thus, the antenna extends through the air pulses of different frequencies (length, frequency). Then the Wi-Fi transmitter device (phone or computer) receives packets sent (bytes), processes them, and then sends back to the router.

3
Power router may be greater than the power receiving apparatus. Therefore, at large distances, the signal quality is lost. From this we can conclude that in order to increase the stability of the Internet will have to reduce the range. In fact, it looks like this:

However, the signal quality is not always as important to sacrifice range. Especially in areas with a large territory. If you are the owner of ADSL2 + modem, increase the transmission power. For this:

  1. enter 192.168.1.1 into your browser;
  2. fill in name and password;
  3. open the "Interface Settings", "Wireless Networks";
  4. set the transmission power to the maximum.

5
Now let's talk about the channels through which the signal is transmitted. They are designed to ensure that the points do not overlap with each other. When two devices operate on the same channel, is "information confusion." This leads to the deterioration and the "contamination" of the signal. Find out which channel the next working routers, to help special program.

6
We advise you to use only extreme channels - 1/6/11. Suppose you and one neighbor, the device works on the channel 1. Crossing with it, you will catch interference only from it. If you change the settings on the 8 channel, your signal will reset with several routers. As a result, the amount of interference will grow, and the power will become even less.

Conclusion: Channel change will help only if no more than two Wi-Fi points are proximity.

An important role in the signal power plays the point in which the router is located. On the left is shown the correct location, and on the right is incorrect. Place the router so that it is in the center of the room. The antenna distributes the signal by radius. The further the wave is removed from the source, it is wider and weaker.

8
In addition to neighboring routers, the enemies of your Wi-Fi are all wireless devices. These are phones, consoles, microwave ovens, alarm, bluetooth and other technique. Ideal when there is not a single interference on the way.

9
In addition to technology, the signal range block obstacles. Try to arrange the modem at such a point so that there is as little interference between the host device and the router. Look at the values \u200b\u200bin the table.

The effective distance is indicated as a percentage. If the radius of the coating of your modem at 100% is 200 meters, then passing through the window with toning it will become 50% - 100 meters.

Check a more powerful router. First of all, when buying, see the version of the Supported Standard. The largest bandwidth of 802.11n and 802.11ac. The number of antennas will increase the signal power. If the router with one antenna has a bandwidth of 150 MB \\ s, then two antennas 300, etc. See Reviews and compare modems with each other. This will help make the right choice.

Install Wi-Fi Router in the center of the room. Avoid physical obstacles and frequency interference. Put the maximum power that the device only allows. These tips will get rid of the lack of signal power. Update the equipment if it turned out not enough. If you do not want to spend money, then watch the video and make a homemade antenna amplifier.
