These four routers are the most worth buying during the shopping festival, covering all high, medium and low end

This year's 11.11 Shopping Festival has officially kicked off.

When you were rushing to buy something, did you feel that your WiFi was slow?

This is because the WiFi signal quality is not strong, resulting in a decrease in network speed, which makes you slower than others. Of course, this is not an individual problem, but a common problem.

From luxury villas to compact homes, everyone has a bad Internet experience caused by poor WiFi signals.

Today, let’s prepare for the shopping festival, starting with the Internet, with WiFi coverage for all types of homes!

WiFi deployment strategy for small apartment scenarios

My home is not very big, why is the WiFi signal still not good?

I believe many friends are troubled by this problem. Small apartments can suffer from poor WiFi signals due to the placement of wireless routers, room layout, wireless routers, and other reasons.

Especially for living environments with many walls, it will have a significant impact on the WiFi signal.

In addition, due to the backwardness of wireless routers themselves, it is easy to have a poor WiFi experience. So what should we do to solve the WiFi problem in small apartments?

First of all, we need to start with the placement of the wireless router. Some friends put the wireless router in the weak current box at the entrance.

The shielding effect of the low-voltage box, plus the fact that bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and other rooms are far away or separated by walls, will lead to a poor WiFi experience.

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.

Then, we need to choose a suitable wireless router. WiFi 6, Gigabit WiFi, Gigabit network port are a few points to pay attention to when purchasing. Don't buy an antique.

The Gigabit Network port not only ensures that future upgrades to broadband above 100M can reach full speed, but also greatly improves the speed of the intranet wired connection.

It is recommended that users of small apartments choose a wireless router that is popular on e-commerce platforms. In addition, the latest WiFi 6 technology can also increase network speed and reduce latency, helping to boost shopping during the shopping festival.

If you live in a large apartment or villa, it is difficult to use one wireless router to cover the WiFi signal in all rooms.

WiFi deployment strategy for large apartments and flat floors

For friends who live in large apartments or flat-floor rooms, one wireless router obviously cannot cover all the rooms.

If most of the rooms in our home have good WiFi signals, and only a small part of the space has poor WiFi signals, we can choose to use a wireless repeater to solve the problem.

Wireless repeaters are generally deployed at the edge of the wireless router signal coverage, receiving the original routing signal and then expanding outward.

However, wireless repeaters also have a disadvantage. While the signal strength is improved, the speed of the wireless network after the relay will decrease to a certain extent, generally reducing the wireless transmission rate by half, which will reduce the WiFi experience.

It takes a little price to cover the places that the original wireless network cannot cover. Another point is that when multiple devices are needed for relaying, the wireless repeater can only bridge to one wireless repeater and cannot relay the main router, so the wireless rate will be halved layer by layer.

If you want to perfectly solve the coverage problem of large apartments, wireless mesh networks are the hottest choice at the moment. In addition to purchasing Mesh kits, brands such as ASUS and Xiaomi also support Mesh networking with different models of routers of the same brand.

Different from traditional relay technology, wireless mesh network allows the extender to connect to the main router automatically and freely, and the extended network speed will not be halved. The entire network is like a honeycomb, easy to use and no longer have to worry about WiFi signals.

The use of Mesh network is also very simple. As long as the user is within the signal range of the main router and powers on the access point, the coverage of the home WiFi can be easily expanded.

There is no need for manual configuration by the user. The extender will automatically connect to the main router and extend the wireless network. The most important thing is that this wireless network extension method looks like a wireless relay, but it will never halve the network speed!

WiFi deployment strategy for duplex and villa scenarios

For duplex and villa scenes, it is recommended to start from the time of decoration. During the water and electricity renovation stage of decoration, network wiring is very important.

The general practice is to set up a low-voltage box at the entrance of the home network, and then lead the network cables from the low-voltage box to each room, leaving a network port for each room.

In this way, it is very convenient to use a computer or a wireless router to access the Internet. In the weak current box, deploy a router and PoE switch, and then deploy a panel AP at the network cable in each room.

Among routers and switches, it is best to choose products with gigabit ports, which can well support broadband of more than 100 megabits and make intranet transmission faster.

What about those who don’t decorate their homes? We can choose Mesh network to solve the problem of WiFi coverage in the room. Wireless mesh network usually adopts the form of two or three “routers”. Each router can communicate with each other to form a network that is interconnected like a “bee hive”.

As long as users are within the signal range of the main router and power on the access point, they can easily expand the coverage of their home WiFi without the need for manual configuration, allowing them to enjoy the convenience of high-speed wireless networks.

In addition to the above two methods, you can also use a powerline modem to solve the problem. The working principle of a powerline modem is also very simple. It will convert the electrical wires in your home into network cables. As long as the powerline modem is deployed in the circuit system under the same electricity meter, the network can be easily expanded.

For example, Huawei Router Q2 supports the latest G.hn Gigabit Power Line Communication technology, which allows you to expand WiFi at will under the same meter system. The maximum network transmission rate can reach 1Gbps, and the high-speed backbone network transmission can meet the lossless expansion of 100M fiber broadband.

Conclusion:

Everyone’s WiFi usage environment is different. I hope the methods in this article can solve the problems of most users.

If you want to improve your WiFi experience, you should first start with your own environment and choose the solution that best suits you. Otherwise, after working hard for a long time, WiFi will not improve at all, and you will not only spend a lot of energy, but also waste money.
