【 Weak current College 】 wireless network signal weak factors

Wireless equipment using the effect of often consumers are very disappointed in the actual use for various reasons, resulting in a wireless network signal instability also to be considered. In actual use, we often find the wireless signal coverage and better than product descriptions as well as on the inevitably disappointing. Because in actual use, the signal will be affected by the environmental impact of certain objective factors arising from the decay, which is inevitable. Of course, signal attenuation, we are not powerless when in use, you can use some skills, try to minimize signal degradation.

A reasonable display the location of the wireless router

Because wireless signal across the barrier, in particular through the metal, the signal will be significantly attenuated. But in our family house, a lot of reinforced concrete wall, so we put a wireless router, you should enable signal through walls as little as possible.

We generally are rarely in the kitchen or dining room Internet access, and study and bedroom is usually frequently surf the Internet, so we select the placement of the wireless router, you can select from the kitchen and restaurant far some places, but as close as possible to study and bedroom.

Study outside wall is placed to the wireless router is the ideal location, this display can make living room, study room, master bedroom, second bedroom has a good wireless signal. Of course, different family structures are not the same, it should be as the case may be. In General, a wireless network card's client signal strength detection capabilities, we took the view in each room laptop signal strength, to select an optimum display. In addition you can also install NetworkStumbler software to detect the signal strength.

2. modify the signal channel interference reduction

We in the wireless router's configuration interface, see the wireless channel option. In General, the wireless channel 54M 11, followed by channel 1 to channel 11. When there are multiple wireless signal using the same wireless signal channel, it will signal interference.

Many users buy a wireless router after use, not on the wireless signal channels can be modified, so that everyone is using the default configuration of the router, it will become quite prone to channel interference. If you have neighbors use near the channel with us, so we both wireless signal will be affected.

We also can use NetworkStumbler software to scan and see nearby what wireless signal exists, which channel to use. And then on our own wireless channel to avoid duplication with other channels.

In addition it is important to note that a channel's signal will also interfere with adjacent to the two channels, Channel 6 's signal affects the channel Channel 5 and 7, so we set up a wireless channel, should try to make your own channel from other signal channel more than two.

In addition, many appliances at work also on wireless network signal caused by electromagnetic interference, so the wireless router's display should be as far away as possible from these appliances.

3. extend the antenna signal

Due to the size of the antenna gain directly affects the signal strength of the transmit and receive power and market some router antenna is removable, so give the wireless router to replace a high gain antenna is enhanced signal the most direct way. -Gain antenna there are many on the market, the price is cheap. But it is also worth noting that, at the time of purchase should ask whether is omni-directional antenna, use only one direction directional transmission of wireless signals.

In addition we can wireless card antenna extended, but wireless card antenna generally is not demolished, replaced and more trouble. In fact in the life of many small articles, can play an enhanced role of the wireless network signal. The network also has a lot of DIY wireless network-gain antenna's methods, such as the use of powdered milk cans, mosquito coils, colanders, interested users may wish to try.

Summary:

Mentioned in the text of these skills, can to a certain extent, to improve the signal strength, however, the router itself actually transmitting power is the most critical. Of course, the reader is completely do not need to worry about buying wireless router at home use. Now the home of mainstream wireless router 54Mbps its standard rate, and our home ADSL broadband access if it is, but in General 2 m community broadband its shared bandwidth typically 10M, even if the signal strength failed to reach 100%, the transfer rate will be in a position to meet the General needs of the Internet for home users.
