The most common problem is in establishing a ‘good’ connection between the remote pc and the wireless router. Many individuals don’t realize that just because you are receiving a signal from your wireless router, (AP) you still might not be able to log onto the Internet. Here is the problem.

A weak or noisy internet connection is often caused by misplaced or scrambled data packets. These damaged packets are continually being ‘re-sent’ between the router and the receiving computer. This will gradual down your connection considerably and will even keep you from getting on the Internet at all.

There are several ways you can improve these weak WIFI signals. The simplest is to move the wireless router. If potential, try to find your router close to the center of the building. I’ve picked up WIFI signals from as far away as 1,000 toes when there have been no obstacles blocking the transmission. However, I’ve also had a hard time just getting the signal to go from one finish of a house to the other. This could be very true if the router is situated on a special floor than the receiving computer. The more partitions and floors the signal passes by way of, the weaker it gets.

If you cannot locate the router near the center of the building, there are a number of other things you can do. First, try moving the receiving computer to a special location. Even turning it in a distinct direction could help. Laptops usually have the WIFI antenna constructed into the monitor so just turning the laptop slightly is perhaps all you will need to do to improve the reception.

Typically, I’ve discovered that USB Internet adapters work much better than laptop inside receivers. The reason is…these external adapters come with a three to five foot cord permitting the adapter to be positioned high within the air and zigmund01 away from obstacles that is perhaps blocking the WIFI signal. Unfortunately, this means dragging around an additional gadget which just isn’t what I really wish to do. Luckily, in most cases your inner WIFI system will get the job accomplished just fine.

If you might want to attain out to an AP that’s hundreds or even 1000’s of feet away, you will need to research adding a high-acquire antenna and a USB Internet adapter. This is definitely old technology. Ham radio buffs have been building hi-achieve antennas for decades permitting them to obtain signals from around the world. There are numerous antenna designs available that practically anybody can build. For a couple of dollars, you’ll be able to boost your range considerably.

The world file for a WIFI connection utilizing ‘only’ a hi-acquire antenna is 238 miles! You are probably not planning on challenging any records, however it’s pretty frequent to see individuals connecting to wireless routers as much as a mile or more away, just by using DIY antennas.
