Nowadays, connecting to the Internet via the wireless network has
become very necessary, but there are many problems that we may face as a result
of weak Wi-Fi signal, such as: slow browsing, inability to watch video
streaming services, problems with household appliances connection, surveillance
cameras, etc. That's a lot.
If you suffer from weak Wi-Fi signal, there are several tools you can use to test the internet speed. There are also some tricks you can try to troubleshoot network problems.
Today, we will review some tips that will help you improve the
quality of the Wi-Fi network:
1. Router Firmware Update:
The manufacturers of routers always develop firmware with the aim of
improving the performance and speed of the wireless network, so it is advisable
to regularly upgrade the firmware, and given the many manufacturers of routers,
the difficulty or ease of upgrading the firmware for these devices depends
mainly on the device manufacturer and the device model to the limit same.
Fortunately, most current routers have a built-in update system built in, and all you have to do is go to the Settings page and hit the Firmware Upgrade button.
2. Choosing the optimum frequency in the router:
If you have a router that supports the Dual-Band feature, you can run
two separate Wi-Fi networks at the same time, on the 5GHz and 2.4GHz
frequencies.
You can also switch to the 5GHz band instead of the 2.4GHz band, which reduces interference with other networks and wireless devices because the 5GHz frequency is less common, so you get better performance, just go to your router settings page, and under the Dual-Band section You can activate the (5GHz) option.
3. Change the communication channel in the router:
All modern routers are multi-channel devices, but the router
naturally uses the default factory-set channel, but when there are nearby
wireless networks using the same channel that you use in your network, you will
face a network congestion problem.
4. Quality Control Management:
Most modern routers come with (QoS) tools to limit the bandwidth of
data used by applications. You can specify which applications and programs have
priority by displaying a large data package such as video or voice calls
applications.
5. Add antennas to the router:
Many routers have built-in Antennas that are usually omnidirectional,
but you can add an external antenna to the unidirectional router, so that you
can direct it to where the signal is weakening significantly, which improves
the Wi-Fi signal at the desired point.
6. Expanding the network:
In the event that you have a large area and suffer from weak Wi-Fi
network signal, or if there are thick walls that prevent the signal from
accessing, it is recommended to use a Wireless Range Extender that allows you
to expand and strengthen the Wi-Fi network, and it does not cost much, and it
is considered The best option is to purchase one from the same company that
made your router.
