Relax and have fun during the Dragon Boat Festival. WiFi signal must be strong. Here's how to adjust it

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, there are not as many people traveling as during the May Day holiday, so staying at home is also a good choice. As 618 approaches, are you unable to buy your favorite products due to network problems? Are you often stuck when playing games or watching videos? We will solve this problem during this holiday, and make the WiFi experience smoother starting from the three-day holiday! To solve the problem of wireless signal coverage at home, we can start from the four aspects of transmission power, wireless channel, placement, and wireless extension.

Adjust wireless transmission power

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.

Wireless signal frequency band usage

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.

Placed in the center of the room

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.

Power Line Networking Products

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 to build a mesh network or powerline modem to solve the problem. Building a mesh network is very simple. Just place a router that supports mesh extension at the edge of the main router's wireless network coverage to easily expand the coverage of the wireless network. Powerline modems are more suitable for users in large apartments and villas who do not have pre-buried network cables. After the main router is connected, you can plug the sub-router into the socket in the room where WiFi coverage is needed.
