The days of leaving wifi are not good, more devastating than no wifi, is the poor wifi signal - there is, but not exactly, more maddening than nothing. No one wants the wifi signal in every corner of their home to be full, but how?
Upgrade the networking program can be, the specific operation method can view the previous articles (network transmission of 4 sets of whole house wifi without dead end networking program: I have tried, tell you which is the best to use). Most people have only one router at home, can you enhance the wifi signal?
The answer is yes: just change the placement of the router. If you want to know where the router should be placed, you must first know the preferences and taboos of the router.
(1) Hi high
The router is like a spring, and the wifi signal is like a spring. The spring water grunted out of the spring and flowed low. The same is true of wifi signals, which, although it does not flow only to the lower places like water, but most of them will also go to the low places.
So don't put the router too low, this will make the strength of the wifi signal weaken. Put it in a higher place, the coverage, the ability to penetrate the wall, will be improved.
(2) Hi Central
The router emits a wifi signal, which is centered on itself and spreads around. So some users put the router in the weak current box at the entrance of the home, this position is too remote, a large part of the wifi coverage to the outdoors, completely meaningless.
Others put the router under the TV set - behind the TV wall is their own bedroom, fine, if the TV wall next door is the neighbor's house, then our wifi signal will be partially covered to the neighbor's home.
The right way is to find the central location of the whole house, so that the coverage of the router is as close as possible in our home.
(3) Hi partition wall
When it comes to routers, we all habitually look at its "ability to walk through walls." But did you know that different walls have different ability to block wifi signals?
Load-bearing walls that have the greatest impact on wifi signals. Bathroom, kitchen, balcony walls, even if not load-bearing walls, will be thicker, followed by the impact on the wifi signal. The least impact is the ordinary indoor partition wall, which is generally made of light bricks.
Therefore, if you want the router to have a strong ability to penetrate the wall, it is best to find a location, so that the wall between the router and each room is a partition wall. Never place the router next to a load-bearing wall, as this will directly cause the router's coverage to be halved.
(1) Avoid obscuration
I once saw a friend's house with a router in the closet. He also said that the wardrobe does not affect the electromagnetic waves, and it does not matter if it is blocked.
Although the wardrobe has little impact on the wifi signal, it can never be said to be without impact. In particular, some routers are not only closed, but also have many wires in the enclosed space. These lines can disrupt the wifi signal, make the signal unstable, or slow down the network speed.
(2) Avoid motors
Wifi signal, belongs to a kind of electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves propagate, and they are afraid of magnetic fields. Magnetic fields have a great influence on electromagnetic waves, so how can we have magnetic fields in our homes?
The motor is a large magnetic field. To a lesser extent, an electric fan, a hair dryer, there are electric motors in it. To a large extent, air conditioners, refrigerators, and compressors inside are also motors.
These motors will weaken the nearby wifi signal during operation. So there are still people who put the router on the refrigerator, the air conditioner, it is best to quickly take it down and change places.
(3) Avoid metals
Metal, too, affects the propagation of electromagnetic waves – think about it, why do you need a metal mesh on the door of a microwave oven? Isn't it to prevent the leakage of microwaves (which are also a kind of electromagnetic waves) that are harmful to the human body?
Speaking of this, I have to mention another weak electrical box: most of the weak electrical boxes in the family are made of metal, the shell is metal, and the door is also metal. Putting the router inside is equivalent to isolating it, and the wifi signal is difficult to get out of the weak current box.
The reason why the load-bearing wall mentioned above has a large impact on the wifi signal is also because there are steel bars in the wall. The steel bar constitutes a metal mesh, which will have a relatively large impact on the wifi signal.
