Tips and Techniques How to strengthen signal WiFi / WirelessImprove Wireless Connections

Wireless Router no longer be new, and perhaps most internet users already have this tool at home to share the wireless internet connection (wireless).This time, we will try to discuss the problems / constraints that may often faced by users of the wireless router that is on the signal strength on the wireless router.How to make Wi-Fi signal could reach an optimal or a wider area? Here are a few things to note:1. Place the Wireless Router at the center of the room
Since most wireless routers use a type of omni directional antennas (spread to all directions), a wireless router should be placed in the middle of the room so that it can reach every corner of the room.
2. Note the placement of wireless routers
Do not place the wireless router on the floor, adjacent to the wall or having contact with objects that contain iron (metal) because all these things will reduce the existing signal strength. The closer you put the three things above, will be the weaker signal.
3. Replace existing antennas on the Wireless RouterAs we said in point no. 1 that as a router using Omni Directional antenna types that are spread to all directions. If indeed you often use in the entire room or corner of the antenna of this type is perfect but if you're more likely to use it in one place, perhaps the replacement of the antenna can further strengthen the signal.

One example type of antenna to the problem above is the High Gain Antenna in which the nature of its spread to only one point so that your signal will get better but we suggest you can not often change places.
4. Replace the Wireless network adapter with a betterIf you use a computer (not notebook), you must install the Wireless Network Adapter in it. Make sure that the Network Adapter you are using is good enough and can also replace existing antennas with better quality like the High Gain Antenna above.


5. Add Wireless Repeater if necessaryAlthough the antenna has been replaced with something better does not mean you can reach more distant locations. For that sometimes we need an additional tool called the Wireless Repeater.

Wireless Repeater useful to strengthen and extend the existing WiFi signal so that its reach into broader, eg with regular antenna, signal coverage reaches only 100 m but with this, signal coverage can be 2x longer is 200m or more.But indeed for the addition of a tool like this, we have to spend quite a lot of money.
6. Replacing an existing Wireless ChannelWiFi Signal can run on several channels at once, if you feel that there is less good signal and found a lot of channels in it, you should change to a smaller channel.And no need to worry with this channel because replacement computer / notebook will detect and adjust automatically when there is change channels.
7. Keep Wireless Router from certain electronic devicesWifi signal work in the 2.4 GHz frequency, so you should keep your wireless router from an electronic device that uses the same frequency.


For example telephone cordeless (without cable) which usually also use the same frequency is 2.4 GHz. When this happens, you inevitably have to replace it with a cordless phone that uses different frequencies such as 900 MHz cordless phone or replace a regular telephone, this is a cheaper solution.
8. Always update your firmware for the Wireless RouterUsually every well-known manufacturers such as D-Link, Linksys and others are always released the latest firmware for your router to router performance to be better. Do these firmware upgrades are usually provided on their website.
9. Use the same brand for your wireless networkAlthough the outline, use a different brand for the network devices (routers, adapters) does not have a problem but usually the signal would be better if we use a single brand.For example, your router brand Linksys, Wireless Adapter should be used in the computer also uses the same brand.
10. Upgrading the type of 802.11b WiFi to 802.11gWe're sure most owners Wifi network is already using the format type G but if you are still using 802.11b type then you should replace or at least make all WiFi network using the same format.Sure there 802.11n promises faster transfer speeds and further range, but it should be noted that the format of N is still not certified.
Hopefully this article from our helpful!
