During the May Day holiday, the WiFi at home became slower and slower. At first, I thought there was a problem with the WiFi router. Today, the editor discovered that this is a shocking secret related to the placement of the router. The signals emitted by general WiFi are actually radio waves, which are the same as the electromagnetic waves emitted by mobile phones when making calls or receiving programs on the radio. However, the wavelength of WiFi signals is quite short, and the common wavelength is only about 12 cm. Therefore, the farther we are from the router when connecting to WiFi, the weaker the signal will be.
In order to make your home WIFI signal better and faster, you might as well try the following 5 tips. 1. Place the router in the center of your home In this way, the signal strength emitted by the router can be spread to the surrounding areas with the same strength. 2. The router must be placed in an open area Some people think that placing the router outside looks messy, so they put it in a cabinet. The cabinet door alone will block part of the signal. 3. The best place to place the router It is the farthest viewing angle at a glance. 4. Router antenna direction Most routers are composed of several antennas. If there are two antennas, one antenna should be upright and the other antenna should be horizontal. If there are three or four multi-antenna routers, the antennas of the router can be placed horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and in various angles. In short, do not point all antennas to the same position. This can more effectively cover the space and improve WiFi coverage and signal strength. 5. Regularly check for connected devices that are not yours To log into the router management interface, you usually need to enter "192.168.0.1" or "192.168.1.1" in the browser address bar to log in to the router. After entering, check the devices that have been connected to the Internet in the device management. If it is a freeloading device, you can directly disable it. |
