Increase power, adjust location, and switch channels to speed up WiFi.

Have you adapted to your daily work and life after the 7-day Spring Festival holiday? Many friends said that they stayed at home during the Spring Festival, but the WiFi signal at home was not good, which made them very annoyed. Don't worry, learn the following three tricks to improve your WiFi experience! Let's improve the home WiFi signal from three aspects: transmission power, wireless channel, and placement!

Improving wireless transmission power

First of all, 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 wireless routers, the higher we adjust the transmission power, the better the coverage and strength of the wireless signal will be. Many routers do not provide the option to increase the specific power value in the background. We can directly select "wall penetration mode" or increase the transmission power.

Wireless signal frequency band usage

Second, since almost every household has deployed wireless networks, we can see many wireless network names by just searching at home. If the wireless networks of these neighbors are consistent with the wireless channels of our home routers, they may cause interference with the wireless channels, causing the network to slow down.

Because wireless channels are an issue that users don't notice, we can use professional software (such as WirelessMon) or the router app to check the usage of surrounding wireless channels. Or you can scan the surrounding environment in the system background of the wireless router and the mobile app to check the surrounding wireless channels. Manually switch to an idle channel to reduce co-channel interference. Or connect to the 5Ghz frequency band of the router at home to reduce co-channel interference.

Place the router in the center of the room

For users living in small and medium-sized households, 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.

Placing it in a weak current box will significantly reduce the WiFi quality

However, this is only an ideal state. Because many developers design the weak current box at the entrance when designing the living room layout, the optical modem and network cable are locked in the iron cabinet at the entrance, and the wireless router is often seen locked in it, which will greatly attenuate the WiFi signal. Here, you only need to connect the network cable of the network panel in other rooms to the network port of the optical modem, and then connect a wireless router to the network port of each room through the network cable, and you can achieve full WiFi signal in each room.
