slow wifi? 8 Tips for a Better Internet
There certainly is something to do with poor wireless Internet.
Everyone talks, from Belgium to Africa. Wifi is today a verb. It is perhaps one of the best inventions since the Internet. Unfortunately, the success has a downside, the connection is lost, is not stable, worst invention ever, draws on nothing, new router, etc…
This is because all these devices use more or less the same frequency. Which is used in turn even further by inter alia the microwave, electronic doorbells, babyfoons en draadloze muizen – toetsenborden. Want the best of internet speed? Use a cable.
Here still some tips to optimize the speed of your Wi.
1. Unplug the wireless router from the meter
The Wi-Fi router is often placed in the cupboard, which makes sense and sometimes it can not be otherwise. The router is there out of sight, Conveniently it is not all. Most meter cabinets are near the front door, which means that half of the Wi-Fi signal the street is irradiated on. A second disadvantage is that many power lines run in the cupboard. These copper wires disturb the radio signal from the router.
2. Turn the router off the ground
Behind the seat, the router out of sight, but if he is on the ground, the signal will probably not be optimal. At waist level he is better.
3. Change the channel your router is broadcasting
Just as radio stations can broadcast a Wi-Fi router for multiple channels. Install on your computer the program inSSIDer, Here you can see which channels are most used by your neighbors. It is then best to set your router to a channel that is used the least.
4. Install a repeater
In most homes, the reception on the first or second floor often inadequate. A repeater can help to increase the range. That device is placed in a location where the base router signal is just about acceptable, For example, on the first floor. I am a supporter of repeaters? No, not yet, repeaters send the signal loss. With this I would prefer a access point (if you have are an old router and some time to unravel the web). Een repeater is PnP and easy to use.
The advantage of this frequency is that there is much less traffic is sitting on what the speed benefit. Also, you have no interference from other devices here. The disadvantage is that the frequency has a limited range ( difficulties to go through walls and ceilings) and that the apparatus 5 support GHz.
6. 20 MHz of 40 MHz
In addition to the possibility to adjust the channel, it is also possible to the bandwidth of 2 adding channels together. The router will 40 MHz can handle more data than a single channel of 20 MHz. This adjustment you can make in the router, read the manual of the relevant router .
7. Choosing the best Wi-Fi channel
Choosing a good WiFi channel can itself as provide a great improvement. channels 1,6 in 11 are therefore the best channels to stay on because they do not overlap.
8. The best solution
Use a wire. Network cables reach high speeds and are not affected by jammers. Er bestaat ook nog zoiets als power LAN, these are tips which disperse the Internet over power lines. The Power-LAN system offers high speeds and latest devices are easy to connect. They are now also sold with built-in repeater and if you want, lose even more outlet. Mind you: Both adapters must be on the same circuit, is to say, of course, also (because 1 of the adapters must be connected to the router) the router also must be in the same circle.
