Although the newly listed wireless router has entered the Era of WiFi6, there is no need to upgrade for some users who are still in the 100 megabit stage at home. However, in addition to the lack of performance of the old router, the WiFi signal is not able to meet the needs of current users. However, this is difficult for the majority of netizens, so the "can signal enhancement Dafa" turned out. Today I will introduce you to this simple and practical trick.
Start by preparing an empty can and then cut off the bottom of the can with a manual knife. Then cut it with scissors directly opposite the opening, taking care not to cut it.
The reason why there is a part is left is because this part can just form a base to help fix it. The picture above is what the final product looks like. Next, just place the cut can behind the router antenna or directly string it on the router antenna.
The last step is also important, after placing the can, we need to manually adjust the arc of the aluminum sheet of the can, so that it is as open as possible, covering all antennas, and maximizing the enhancement of the WiFi signal.
The principle is actually very simple. Because the antennas used in the routers in our home are omnidirectional antennas, that is, the signal is uniformly radiated at 360° in the horizontal direction, and our use of a can DIY enhancer can make it a simple directional antenna and change the direction of the signal.
When we put the can behind the router, the signal that was originally sent to the back of the router will be refracted back when it encounters the can, and it will all be emitted in one direction, so that the positive signal is enhanced. Considering that some families like to place routers in THE TV cabinet, computer desk and other positions against the wall, this method is still more practical.
However, there are also drawbacks to this, that is, the signal on the back of the router will be significantly weakened, so we still have to use it as appropriate.
In fact, the problem of weak router signal has been greatly improved in the past two years on the emerging new products, although China's router power is still limited, but manufacturers with improved antenna layout and independent signal amplification chip technology update, has solved the problem of weak signal. Even the 5GHz frequency band with poor wall-piercing ability can achieve full signal after passing through the wall in some excellent products.
For example, the following TP-LINK's latest XTR6690 E-Show Turbo wireless router has a built-in hidden array antenna, which is similar to radar and can bring stronger WiFi signals.
As a member of the "Shengshi Series" launched by TP-LINK, the XTR6690 is equipped with WiFi 6E enterprise-class chip, supports 160MHz large bandwidth and 4K QAM transmission technology, three-band 8 streams, the total wireless transceiver rate reaches 6600Mbps, and the maximum number of belt units is up to 1536 units.
Of course, in addition to such flagship products, in the 300-500 mainstream price point, Xiaomi route AX6000, TP-LINK XDR5480, ZTE's newly launched AX5400 and AX5400 Pro are also very good choices, users generally feedback signal penetration is strong, stable transmission.
Today's tips to share here, I don't know if the super signal coverage can convince you to upgrade the router? If you choose not to replace it, making a recommended signal booster with a can can can also play a good effect, and it is no problem to survive until the next upgrade.
