Anyone happened to have problems with their own Wi-Fi network. Here is how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi weak.
Having a WLAN is easy and immediate. Optimize it is rather complex. Many people suffer from a Wi-Fi weak and poorly performing. There are many solutions to treat a WLAN ” sickly “. Before choosing the best solution is to understand what problem is affecting your Wi-Fi network.
1. Positioning of the WLAN router
In many cases, there is a WLAN weak because the router is incorrectly positioned inside a house. The simplest remedy is to find another location as near as possible to the devices that need to receive the signal. Sometimes you can even occur a situation of poor wireless connectivity despite WLAN router and devices are placed at a short distance. Probably there is an interference with equipment of the neighbors or other devices. In this case we recommend – always at no cost – to enter the router interface and choose a channel less disturbed.
If, after changing the transmission channel, the data transfer continues to work correctly, it means that the problem is resolved. If the router is equipped with a function to search for the best channel, folded about this feature. Who has a dual band router to can also choose to operate the device on a band less disturbed as that of the 5 GHz, but make sure that ALL devices continue to work even with the traditional frequency of 2.4 GHz. Finally, if your device has more than six years, we strongly recommend replacing it with a modern equipped with WLAN interface compatible with the latest standards.
2. Buy a wireless repeater
If these are the previous point does not resolve the situation, the problem is probably caused by the thickness of the walls. No fear. There are amplifiers for WLAN from a few Euros and are the easiest and most reliable way to extend the range of Wi-Fi network within their own home.
- Where to place the wireless repeater? – The wireless repeater can be placed anywhere in the house, of course, placed between the router and the receiver device. The repeater has the task of acting as a bridge between the two devices is creating its own WLAN. The best spot to place a wireless repeater is halfway between the router and the destination terminal.
- Set a wireless repeater. – The activation of a wireless repeater is immediate. Once active, is normally created a WLAN network of the same name and passwod. And pore can also use the name and password different WLANs created by the router and repeater. The device that connects to the Wi-Fi network, choose the WLAN most powerful among those available: if you find near the router, he uses his WLAN, if it is located closer to the repeater, the WLAN will use the latter. If the end devices are linked closely to the WLAN router also points away from it, rather than connect to the repeater, you must dissociate the network and choose the most powerful manually.
3. Powerline Adapters Wi-Fi.
It’s none of the above are enough to cure the WLAN debile. We need to pass the signal through the electrical outlet. The miraculous remedy is offered by the Powerline adapters. The operating principle is simple: the user must connect a first adapter into an electrical outlet near the router and place the other adapters in parts of the house uncovered by the WLAN. With Powerline adapters Wi-Fi devices that do not have to network card as a smartphone or tablet, can be safely connected to the wireless network.
The cost of the Powerline adapters with WLAN function also exceeds 3 times the cost of a simple repeater. The advantages of Powerline WLAN are many here among maintaining good connection speeds even in parts of the house far away from the router as data travels into the power grid.
- Megabit nominal and actual. – It’s true that the Powerline adapters WLAN radio waves spread at maximum intensity, but you have to know that 500 Mbps declared, we shall have only 70. The data transmission rate depends also ache from the wiring of the electrical network of the house.
- Install a Powerline adapter WLAN. – Simplicity is the key word! First, we need at least a pair of adapters, that simple is placed near the router, while the one with WLAN function can be placed at any point of the house. The two adapters come into communication with each other through a standard password preset and can transmit data via the mains. The WLAN key is printed on each adapter.
