WiFi is indispensable for taking a break. You can learn how to solve the signal coverage problem

We are about to bid farewell to 2016 and welcome 2017. The Spring Festival comes early this year, and the three-day New Year's Day holiday allows everyone to have a good rest after a year of fatigue. In addition to rest, there are some problems that we don't have time to solve on weekdays that we also need to solve before the New Year. Have you been troubled by poor WiFi signals for a year? If you want to solve the problem of wireless signal coverage at home, we can start from the four aspects of transmission power, wireless channels, placement, and wireless extension.

First, we can adjust the transmission power of the router in the background while keeping the position of the router unchanged. By default, the transmission power of many wireless routers is much lower than their maximum power, which makes it possible for us to adjust the strength of the wireless signal. In the settings of the wireless router, the higher the transmission power is, the stronger the coverage and strength of the wireless signal will be. In this way, it is also very easy to adjust the strength and coverage of the wireless signal by yourself.

Second, since almost every household has deployed wireless networks, we can see many wireless network names by searching at home. If there are many wireless networks around, there may be interference in the wireless channels, causing the network to slow down. Because wireless channels are an issue that users don’t pay attention to, we can use professional software (such as WirelessMon) or router apps to check the usage of surrounding wireless channels. And change to a more unobstructed wireless channel in the system background of the wireless router or the mobile app.

For general home users, placing the wireless router in the center of the room is undoubtedly the best choice. Since the antenna gain of most home wireless routers is 5dBi, placing the wireless router in the center of the room will allow users to experience the best wireless network in every room. However, this is only an ideal state. In addition to the editor's case, many developers leave the network cable in the entrance when designing the room layout. Generally, in the iron cabinet in the entrance, you can often see the wireless router locked in it, which is helpless.

If the above methods do not solve your problem, we can only use the killer "wireless extension" to solve the problem. Usually we will choose a wireless extender or a powerline cat to solve the problem. Using a wireless extender is very simple. Just plug the extender into a socket at the edge of the wireless network coverage to easily expand the coverage of the wireless network. Powerline cats are more suitable for large households and villa users. After the main router is connected, you can plug the secondary router into the socket in the room that needs network coverage.
