WiFi coverage is fully covered and the pain points are solved on the last day of the holiday

It's the last day of the holiday. Did you get your favorite products during the May 5 Shopping Festival? During the holiday, you watched various live broadcasts every day, but you often couldn't buy the products you wanted? Was your WiFi slow when you were shopping? There were frequent freezes when playing games, which made people very unhappy! Poor WiFi Internet experience is a problem that troubles many friends. And this problem is so common that it exists in villas and mansions, as well as in compact homes. If you want to cover your entire house with WiFi, you need to prescribe the right medicine!

Poor WiFi makes people fall to the ground

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 will have poor WiFi signals due to the placement of wireless routers, room layout, wireless routers, and other reasons. Especially for environments with many walls in the room type, it will have a significant impact on the WiFi signal. In addition, since the wireless router itself is relatively backward, it is also easy to have a poor WiFi experience. So what should be done to solve the WiFi problem in small apartments?

It is recommended to place it in the middle of the room.

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 weak current box, plus the long distance or wall separation of bedrooms, kitchens or bathrooms, 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.

A WiFi 6 wireless router can meet the needs of small apartments

Then, we need to choose a suitable wireless router. 11ac, Gigabit WiFi, and Gigabit Ethernet port are a few points to note when purchasing. Don't buy an antique. The Gigabit Ethernet port not only ensures that the broadband below 1000M can reach full speed in the future, 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 hot-selling on e-commerce. If you are a large apartment or villa user, it is difficult to use a wireless router to cover the WiFi signal to all rooms.

WiFi deployment strategy for large apartments and flat floors

For friends who live in large apartments or flats, a 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.

Wireless relay principle

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 compromise the WiFi experience. It takes a little price to fully 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 the previous wireless repeater and cannot relay the main router, so the wireless speed will be halved layer by layer.

If you want to perfectly solve the coverage problem of large apartments, wireless mesh network is the hottest choice at present. Tenda's nova series, Linksys's Velop, MR series, etc. are all powerful tools to improve WiFi signal coverage and Internet experience. Different from traditional relay technology, wireless mesh network allows the extender to connect to the main router freely and automatically, and the rate of the extended network will not be halved. The entire network is like a honeycomb, easy to use and you don't have to worry about WiFi signals anymore.

Packages solve coverage problems

Mesh network is also very easy to use. Users can easily expand the home WiFi coverage by simply powering on the access point within the signal range of the main router. 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 expansion method looks like a wireless relay, but it will never halve the network rate!

A complete guide to duplex and villa scenes

For duplex and villa scenarios, it is recommended to start from the time of decoration. Network cabling is very important during the water and electricity renovation stage of the decoration. The general practice is to set up a weak current box at the entrance of the home network, and then lead the network cable from the weak current box to each room, leaving a network port for each room. In this way, it is very convenient to access the Internet whether it is a computer or an external wireless router. In the weak current box, deploy routers and PoE switches, and then deploy panel APs at the network cables in each room. Among them, routers and switches are best to choose products with gigabit ports, which can well support broadband of more than 100 megabits, and the intranet transmission can also be faster.

Wireless mesh network solves villa coverage problem

What about those who don't decorate their homes? We can choose a wireless mesh network to solve the WiFi coverage problem in the home. A wireless mesh network generally uses a set 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 the user is within the signal range of the main router and powers on the access point, the home WiFi coverage can be easily expanded without manual configuration by the user, and the convenience of high-speed wireless network can be enjoyed.

Router + Power Cat product solves WiFi coverage problem

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 wires in your home into network cables. As long as the powerline modem is deployed in the circuit system under the same meter, the network can be easily expanded. For example, Huawei Router Q2 supports the latest G.hn Gigabit power line communication technology. As long as it is under the same meter system, WiFi can be expanded at will. 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 has a different WiFi environment. I hope the methods in this article can solve the problems of most users. If you want to improve your WiFi experience, you must first start with your own environment and choose the solution that best suits you. Otherwise, after working hard for a long time, your WiFi will not improve at all. Not only will you have put in a lot of effort, but you will also waste money.
