Nowadays, being in any room or even in the garden, you can continue to work and there is no need to be tied to a specific place. However, along with the clear advantage of a wireless wi-fi network, signal weakening due to the remoteness of the router or the presence of some kind of interference is a disadvantage.
Instructions
Step 1
When installing a wi-fi network at home or in the office, try to keep the router at approximately the same distance from all rooms so that the signal strength is relatively the same. Remember that the range of your home network depends on a number of factors. These include the type of router (router) used, the type of protocol, the total power of the router, as well as the presence and properties of obstacles arising in the path of signal propagation.
Step 2
If possible, install the router so that there are fewer brick walls and metal structures before the signal receiving device. They can weaken the signal range by up to 25% or more. It should also be borne in mind that some types of wi-fi networks are also affected by microwave interference.
Step 3
If you plan to use a wi-fi network outdoors, in the yard, in an open space, you should remember that the foliage of trees can serve as a big obstacle to signal propagation. Rain, fog, wide and dense tree canopy significantly weaken the signal.
Step 4
To increase the range of a wi-fi network, you can combine several routers into one chain. Or by replacing the standard antennas at the access points with more powerful ones.
Step 5
As a folk remedy for reflecting the signal of a wi-fi network, you can use a reflective film. For these purposes, ordinary foil is suitable, with which it is necessary to create a screen to prevent signal propagation in an unnecessary direction.
