Small functions of wireless routers make your Wi-Fi more useful

Have you just bought a wireless router and you just set it up and then you just ignore it? I believe that many friends are in this situation too. "The wireless router can access the Internet, and no other settings are needed." In this way, we will miss many functions that improve our Internet experience! In fact, in the control background of most wireless routers nowadays, there are many small functions that can improve our home network experience. Just turn them on in the system, and you can feel different from usual!

Change the wireless channel and increase the transmission power

1. Wireless channel and wireless transmission power adjustment

When most friends connect to WiFi at home, they will see several wireless networks of other people's homes around them. In this way, there will be interference between the wireless networks transmitted by different wireless routers, which will bring us a stuck and slow experience of wireless Internet access, and the signal will also drop. In the background settings of the wireless router, we can change the frequency band of the wireless network, avoid the surrounding networks, and enter the "fast lane" to improve the wireless experience. And adjusting the transmission power can increase the signal strength of the wireless router. While increasing the coverage range, there is no need to consider the radiation problem.

2. Use QoS skillfully and no longer worry about the problem of "competing for network speed"

From daily use, we can find that more and more devices need WiFi connection. The first wireless router bought by the editor was just for the wireless Internet access of the laptop. Now, taking a family of three as an example, at least 3 devices are connected to the wireless router. With it comes the "network speed competition problem" caused by different Internet behaviors. Many wireless routers can intelligently control the network speed with one click, automatically arrange according to priority, and ensure that various network behaviors will not be stuck when they are carried out at the same time.

3. Share files wirelessly and say goodbye to USB flash drives

11ac wireless technology has become increasingly popular, greatly improving the wireless transmission rate. The current mainstream 11ac wireless router has a maximum wireless transmission rate of 867Mbps in the 5GHz band. And many wireless routers are equipped with USB interfaces to support external storage devices. As long as our smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices are connected to the wireless router, we can share files and transfer files at high speed through the wireless network intranet. As long as the network card and the wireless router match, the transmission speed is still very fast, and you don’t have to run around with a USB drive to copy files!
