Want toIncrease Range of WiFi SignalsFrankly, ? which begs the question. Considering this, Getting low speed from yourSurprisingly, WiFi router? WiFi is one of the most important parts in Computers. Yet its the most frustrating when its not getting found from Laptops and Phones. to round this out, Believe it or not, Here are the best ways to boost your WiFi network. Lets gets started on How toIncrease the Range of WiFi Network. These are the proven and simplest methods to boost the WiFi signal strength.


Increase Range of WiFi Signals


How to improve when you delve deeper, WiFi Signal for Speed

Find the perfect place for WiFi Router

In order toincrease range of WiFi signals, you need to find out the best place to place router. WiFi routers may look ugly but hiding the WiFi adapter behind walls really blocks the signal anddegrades the signal qualityIn an if you look closer, unexpected twist, . Keep the adapter in open place mainly where you usually spend most of your time in the house. Ensure that the router is free from all the obstacles, walls. In an unexpected twist, Most of the WiFi pains are because ofpoor placementof the WiFi Router. Read more herehow WiFi antennas really work.

Curiously, Choosing a right Wireless Channel

Have you ever wondered why your chrome runs so slowly? It may not be related to WiFi signals but Chrome many a times utilizes so many resources. and that brings us to a critical realization. Considering this, We have written a tutorial toreduce Chrome under these circumstances, memory usagein detail. when viewed differently. For WiFi it might happen that the signals from your neighbor's WiFi areinterfering with your WiFi signals. if you think about it. To be fair, This also can which raises eyebrows, be a reason for bad signal quality. WiFi routers usually operates onnumber of different channels when viewed differently.Believe it or not, . So you need to pick up the channel which is less interference with the other signals. You should use from a broader perspective.WiFi Stumbler utilityto choose the best signal.

In truth, High Frequency Band

Not only routers from neighbor will cause theIf we dig deeper, Interference. The basic appliances in house such asMicrowave, Cordless Phonesalso can interfere with the signals. and here's another perspective, Better way is to use double band WiFi routers. Keep the router far away from these appliances tomodulate the signal.

Old Beer Can

Toincrease range of WiFi signals, you can surely use this method. To be fair, If you have an old beer can or a coke can then you can use it to boost the signal up. Just cut the can from the middle and place itaround the antinaInterestingly, Covering one side of the router. Keep other side open which will be and this conclusion cannot be ignored.facing to your computeror laptop. which highlights the importance. This really optimizes the speed or range issues.

Surprisingly, The reason behind as it so happens, doing this is Router isomni-directionalInterestingly, And that is fine if you keep it in center. Surprisingly, But what if you keep at some corner of the house. and that speaks volumes. Curiously, So better to when viewed differently.utilize those signals by divertingthose to only required direction and hence boosted signal quality. Above all you might have not checked that inbackground WiFi internetis just getting used by Windows Automatic Updates. How aboutdisabling Windows Updates?

DD-WRT Firmware

On reflection, Another way to improve on the WiFi signals is to hack the router and change the frequency settings.
Install DD-WRT as you might imagine.Firmware for this. Interestingly, This utility has lot of security features. Main feature it has is Boosting Transmitting Power. But use this with caution thistool can damage as surprising as it sounds, your router tooas one might expect, . which is fascinating.

WiFi Repeater

If you have any old WiFi router, then use it as arepeater for internet signals. More importantly, This will boost the internet packets and would increase the range scope. if you think about it. The more powerful WiFi signal, the more good speed of internet.

Automatic Reboot

This is the quick and that’s quite telling.technique to Increase Range of WiFi Signals. as you might suspect. WiFi routers need to get rebooted after regular interval to refresh thecachesInterestingly, Andmemory capacitors. So keep a setting on router that it reboots once or twice a day. to round this out, On every reboot you will definitely see the difference in network speed.

Switch to an 802.11ac router

If you are still using 802.11g in other scenarios, or 802.11n routers that are older, " when you take it all in.Wireless G" or "In an unexpected twist, Wireless N", because you generally know each other, this is the time to move on to something new. One of the best ways under these circumstances, to guarantee the speed andreliabilityAs it turns out, Of your network is to use the latest hardware. Buying a new router can be confusing, given the different classifications, prices, and wireless features. So here's a general description of the basic concepts:
  1. You should buy a newer router and you have no reason not touse 802.11ac which, surprisingly, is true.. You might have awireless CA deviceif you bought a new smartphone, tablet or laptop in recent years.
  2. Even if you don't have a wireless CA device, consider upgrading your router at any time in the next few years. If the answer is "zeroFrom one perspective, ", get the best 802.11ac router that you can get now. Your future device will appreciate that and you may see an increase in speed and range compared to a mucholder as surprising as it sounds, 802.11n router. Or, if you are when viewed in detail, from an old school,802.11g router
  3. When you buy a new router, it's likely to have longer support (firmware update) to help avoid exploitation and other unpleasant problems. which underscores its value. It is possible that the manufacturer no longer updates the old 802.11n router, and that is not good. and that brings us to a critical realization.
  4. The 802.11ac router may offermore coverage when viewed differently.than an 802.11n router, depending on the status of your router beforehand, but this router will provide better performance for 802.11ac devices. Interestingly, When under these circumstances, you havelimited to 10 Mbps from a broader perspective., you may find that you can download files at 40 or 50 Mbps 
  5. The 802.11ac router is capable of doing all kinds of crazy things right now. You can use a triple band router that automatically manages how the device is connected, to provide all the best opportunities at high speed. and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You can drive against waves of technology and use 4x4, 802.11ad orWith that in mind, MU-MIMO and this conclusion cannot be ignored.routers that don't have in other scenarios, the devices you have. You can buy an integrated router inIFTTT when viewed differently.and turn on and turn off lights when you think about and turn off your network. Etc
  6. For most people who are looking to cover a house or a reasonably sized apartment, a powerfulAC1200 or AC1750router might be enough: surely the last of the recent MacBook Pro, for example, is AC1750 compatible with full speed.
  7. That's a lot. if you think about it. And if you're still on the fence, check how fast 802.11ac really is. which reminds me, I did some quick tests on the new MacBook Pro with 3x3 connectivity:AC1750wireless speed. I connected it to the Amplifi HD router (only the main station), theand, in all honesty, AC1750On another note, Class router that supports 802.11ac 1300 Mbps speed. Connect the desktop computer to the router via Gigabit Ethernet or 1000 Mbps.
Curiously, I put the router in my room, which was in the and that speaks volumes.To everyone's surprise, Corner of my house and this conclusion cannot be ignored., and dragged my laptop into the kitchen of several rooms. which, surprisingly, is true. let me elaborate, As it turns out, This is half of the router range, based on the many tests I did when I was a tapping network expert.

With that in mind, Wireless 802.11 N Routers

WiFi 802.11 G version of routerprovide good signal strength. and one might observe, But if you need to increase range area or want more speed then you should opt for 802.11 N version of router. These are a bit expensive than G version but provides very good signal quality.

Use InSSIDer

More importantly, This awesome tool identifies and detects where is theWiFi signal more stronger. Just install this utility on your laptop and walk around the house and it will tell which place the signals are better.
