Wi-Fi Signal Optimization - Routers and location
Wi-Fi Signal Optimization - Routers and location.
Wireless routers are becoming more efficient but can still cause problems with some routers budget or if a large housing.
Note that distance is not the main cause of the reduction in signal strength but walls Concrete and their thickness.

Wireless signal is radio time which makes it sensitive to interference. Almost any electrical appliances may interfere with the wireless signal, even simple electrical cables that emit electromagnetic field that shields.
Metal objects flat screens often 100% of the signal, so if a large metal object eg washing machine that is between you and router. This will create a blind spot where the signal will be very weak or nonexistent.

How to improve Wi-Fi reception?
The tendency of people is to blame router but the router is always guilty of poor wireless signal reception.Phones and tablets manufacturers to build devices using various technologies, embedded antennas are either aluminum or copper wires stretched casings or integrated on the electronic board, the latter giving the worst reception case and if the device has a metal casing, the issue .
1. Buy a new router! All routers on the market are now standard B / G / N and N providing the best speed and signal. Find routers between 40 lei (eg Tenda N3 very good) to 100 lei, with three antennas. I recommend you target each one with at least two antennas.
If your router has two antennas, one antenna oriented horizontally right and one to modulate the wireless signal in both directions that may have devices in reception - vertical or horizontal antenna2. Find the best seat in the house. Try to place the router as your central inhabited, where it is a house or central level to the rooms where the devices using Wi-Fi. Place your router or objects above the mobilities, even if they are wooden, they block the signal.3. If your router has advanced settings, enter the web control interface usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 found at the address and login if you have not changed your user data and password ADMIN ADMIN.
a. Secure your connection to standard WPA / WPA2 - PSK and AES encryption. Put your password can not be easily guessed in numbers and figures, this will ensure that you do not use tape available parasites
b. Select Standar N if available. It is possible for the menu to appear B / G / N combined. It will provide the highest performance.
c. Select the field if you can "Channel - channel" option "AUTO" for the router to avoid the interference celoralte neighboring routers. Also select 20/40 bandwidth to ensure maximum data transfer speed
4. Use a Wi-Fi repeater, which you can find starting from 40 lei. It aims to amplify the weak signal of the main router. This solution is one extreme and is found only in very large homes or in tourist boarding houses.
