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.- enter 192.168.1.1 into your browser;
- fill in name and password;

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