WIFI - How to Get a Rock-Solid Internet Connection

 

The commonest problem is in establishing a 'good' connection between the remote laptop and the wireless router. Many individuals don't realize that just because you're receiving a signal out of your wireless router, (AP) you still will not be able to log onto the Internet. Here's the problem.

 

 

A weak or noisy internet connection is often caused by misplaced or scrambled data packets. These damaged packets are continuously being 're-sent' between the router and the receiving computer. This will gradual down your connection considerably and could even keep you from getting on the Internet at all.

 

 

There are a number of ways you possibly can improve these weak WIFI signals. The best is to move the wireless router. If doable, try to locate your router close to the center of the building. I've picked up WIFI signals from as far away as 1,000 toes when there have been no obstacles blocking the transmission. However, I've also had a hard time just getting the signal to go from one end of a house to the other. This can be especially true if the router is situated on a unique floor than the receiving computer. The more walls and floors the signal passes by, the weaker it gets.

 

 

If you can't find the router close to the middle of the building, there are a number of different things you possibly can do. First, attempt moving the receiving computer to a different location. Even turning it in a unique direction could help. Laptops typically have the WIFI antenna constructed into the monitor so just turning the laptop slightly could be all you'll must do to improve the reception.

 

 

Normally, I've found that USB Internet adapters work much better than laptop inner receivers. The reason is...these external adapters come with a 3 to 5 foot twine allowing the adapter to be placed high in the air and away from obstacles that is likely to be blocking the WIFI signal. Sadly, this means dragging round an additional gadget which isn't what I really want to do. Luckily, in most cases your inside WIFI device will get the job performed just fine.

 

 

If you must reach out to an AP that's hundreds or even 1000's of ft away, you'll want to investigate adding a high-acquire antenna and a USB Internet adapter. This is definitely old technology. Ham radio buffs have been building hi-acquire antennas for decades permitting them to obtain signals from across the world. There are numerous antenna designs available that practically anyone can build. For a couple of dollars, you may increase your range considerably.

 

 

The world record for a WIFI connection using 'only' a hi-acquire antenna is 238 miles! You're probably not planning on difficult any records, however it's fairly common to see people connecting to wireless routers up to a mile or more away, just by using DIY antennas.
