Top 10 ways to enhance the power and range of Wi-Fi

Hello All Dear Steemit Friends,


Wi-Fi is one of the most important developments in the evolution of the Internet - no one wants to remain confined to a desktop computer - but this development is also disappointing. If you are experiencing slow speeds, poor reception and other problems, you have 10 ways To improve your wireless network in your home.

I will mention 5 of them in this post and 5 others in the next post, God willing

1. Use the latest wireless technologies:

The use of new and updated equipment is always one of the best ways to ensure a network with maximum speed and efficiency. The basic thing to know here is that standards A, B, G and N are the oldest with the most recent AC standard.

If you use streaming video and HD videos on your devices, such as Chromecasts and smartphones, owning an AC wireless network will reduce buffering or video buffering, due to the ability of this standard to Move more data faster than the older N standard.

The successor to this standard, which will be called AX, will not be released until 2019, so you do not have to worry about updating your wireless device for a while if you have just done so.

Also be aware that you get the highest possible speed associated with having an AC standard router coupled with a wireless device or card or USB Dongle that supports the AC model on your computer.

Companies such as Luma, Eero, and even Google have earlier launched a network of routers, smaller than the usual routers that you put in a reseller to cover the entire Wi-Fi network in your home. Typically, one of these routers acts as a base station while Connect to the rest of your home after it's distributed around the house. This type of network is easy to set up with an application on your smartphone. You can monitor everything that's going on inside your network, including visited sites and their associated devices.

2. Find the best location for your router:

Routers may look ugly, but that should not make you hide behind the TV room. If you want the best signal, you'll need to put it out, away from any walls or obstructions.

Also, if the location is most suitable for your router away from a table or flat surface, see if it can be installed on the wall, either using the installation holes already in the router's structure, or using an installable shelf.

Later, turn the antennas vertically, raise the router if you can (one of them pointed out that the house was the best place to put the router), and finally, make sure that the router located in the center of your home, so you can achieve the best coverage possible.

Routers are often routed to specific locations depending on where the Internet line connects to the modem at home. This can also be improved by using longer Ethernet cables and some cable sensors to attach the cable to the wall away from the corridor

3. Find the healthiest Wi-Fi channel:

Your neighbors' Wi-Fi networks can interfere with your Wi-Fi network, causing signal quality frustration.

Wireless routers can operate on a different number of channels, and of course you want to set a channel to the least possible interference. To do so, use the Network Analyzer Lit or Wi-Fi Analyzer tool to find the best channel in your home.

4. Get rid of all other messy devices:

Not only other routers may cause interference, but wireless phones, microwaves, and some other devices can also negatively impact your signal.


Buying a dual band router helps solve this problem - but you can also buy wireless phones running on other domains. If you do not want to buy new hardware, you can always try changing your router's location away from messy devices.

5. Prevent attempts by Wi-Fi thieves to use better security:

There's more than one way to protect your Wi-Fi connection from hacking neighbors or hackers, using an appropriate password, and a simple trick to keep most of the mob away.

Hiding a Wi-Fi network may be the most effective way to keep your rogue neighbors away from your Internet connection (although there are more tech savvy users who can use free network scanners to find your connection relatively easily), if they can not find your Wi-Fi network -Fi, they will not often be able to contact them.

You can also keep hackers away from your router by hiding the wireless network name (SSID) and forcing all those who want to connect to it to manually enter their name.

As for password protection, you must change your primary router username and password immediately, and save them where you store the rest of the passwords you use. In addition, you should activate the WPA2 password protection protocol on your Wi-Fi network. This security protocol gives greater encryption and security than the old WPA or WEP protocols.
