Optimize Your Wi-Fi Router

in #internet7 years ago

Wi-Fi is one of the important thing to have in our life. For some people Internet is life and they feel like hell without Wi-Fi. Also, the Social Network addicts can’t stay without internet even for five minutes. They just keep on checking the notification every 5 minutes. It becomes very important for a person to know about the best place to put the router and have a maximum as well as consistent signal strength. Before getting more into knowing the best place we first need to know that a Wi-Fi router emits its signal in radial form So basically you should find a central location in your home to get the most out of the router. 




Find the Center of Your House 

If you want to have a equally distributed Wi-Fi signal strength all over your house then you need to start digging and find the nearest central location of your home. If you have multiple floors in your house then mount the Wifi router on the ceiling or on the walls. It would give a boost to the signal in the adjacent floor. Location is the key, if you get it right then you are not going to have a signal strength problem. 



Obstructions 

Wi-Fi router emits radio wave signals that can certainly pass walls but the overall strength would get lower. So a thick wall basically incur high signal loss. Impenetrable obstructions like cement walls, water tank has a huge resistance towards radio signals. Radio waves reflectors such as mirror and metal can really disorient the signals path and may lead to a poor signal strength.  



Microwave Oven 

Waves generated from a Wi-Fi router would have almost the same frequency as that of oven i.e 2.4GHz. On usage of oven may incur a lot of noise in the Wi-Fi router signals. So basically you should avoid putting your router neat kitchen that contain a lot of utensils, objects and appliances that may greatly affect your router’s signal strength without knowing.  


Router with Powerful Antennas 

If you have a medium to big house then you would probably need to buy a powerful router that can handle more connections and emits powerful radio waves. It would definitely help your devices like laptops, phones and other to capture it and give a much much better experience. Or another thing you may do is extend the router’s antenna so that it could cover more area and hence more signal strength.

Useful, will look at my current setup and see if there is room for improvement. Thanks mate!

Most welcome and thank you :)

the only place i can put the router is near the TV, which is the other side of my apartment.. so my room to the living room has like several concrete walls obstructing the signals.. :(

In that case you can mount the router on the wall or ceiling. I would recommend you to buy a new but powerful router :)

certainly is a good tip, thanks :)
