![]() ![]() They could give a little boost to the wifi reception that is degraded over the distance. Make Use of Aluminum FoilĬopper wire, beer can or Aluminum Foil knows to have high deflection on wireless transmission. This does not mean you should move your router to the roof, but it is highly advised to place it somewhere higher inside. The reception is like an airplane, it becomes worse because there is too much interference at the lower ground and those items potentially prevent the signal from reaching the destination. It makes sense when you leave your wireless router too low to the ground, or on the floor and you cannot get a good coverage. The concept is simple yet it has a point. ![]() Now you do not see airplanes fly too close to the ground because if they do, they will hit tall buildings and crash and kill people and destroy stuffs everywhere. First it takes off to a certain height above cloud level, then flies its way until it reaches the destination. Imagine how an airplane takes people from one location to another. My channel option is currently set to Channel 5. Once you’ve found out, you can change the channel number in the Wireless setting page of the router’s configuration panel –refer to the router’s manual or ask Google, usually the address is 192.168.0.1. The main window of inSSIDer includes the detail list of all surrounding networks, their unique ID addresses, type of network, router vendors, security measurement and of course, what channels are being used most. Either way, you’ll be able to figure out which channels are the most crowded and run from them. There are also a bunch of Wifi analyzer apps for iOS and Android phone if they are more convenient for you to obtain. ![]() This application is extremely helpful once you get the hang of it. If you do not know which channel is best, I highly recommend to try the free open-source software called inSSIDer. Now with that in mind, perhaps you want to logon to your router’s configuration panel and switch to a less crowded channel other than the typical 1, 6 and 11 spectrum. These two channels are known to be the most commonly used wifi networks. On the other hand, car alarm sometimes overlaps channel 6 and 11 of the 2.4GHz frequency that stutters wireless traffic. The interference can significantly reduces the transfer rate or completely destroy a stable communication between the computer and the wireless router. So if your router is unfortunately single-band, then your microwave, age-old cordless phones, baby monitors or even some car alarm will very likely interfere its signal. Most wireless transmission runs at 2.4GHz frequency, unless your router supports dual-band which also broadcasts at a much less crowded 5GHz frequency. I’m 82% out of 90% sure it’ll do the job. But before you are driving your car through the wall to open up coverage, try a few of our advice below and see if that could remedy the situation. Thing like that could easily go from being annoyed to using your router as a target gun practice. ![]() Today you can even enroll in the fastest cable internet plan, surfing on a $9000 custom-built beast PC and yet you may still experience the very same spotty performance that’s been haunting millions of Americans everyday when all we want after dinner is “netflix and chill”. Has any of us here ever thought about how NASA is able to receive accurate data from a spacecraft that’s 4.67 billion miles away, but we instantly lose wifi signal the moment we walk into the kitchen? It’s not acceptable! ![]()
