How To Improve Your Wireless Laptop Connection
Wireless connections are known to almost never deliver the supposed bandwidth that is advertised. It is most true that your router is giving a weak signal out of the many possibilities. Through this article we will tackle some of the most obvious issues that arise in order to improve your wireless laptop connection.
· If your router is located at a place that is on an outside wall or on the top floor then it is possible that the signal you receive on the bottom floor at the far end will be weak. Try to position your router in a centralized spot so the generated signal is equally available to all the connected devices.
· Of course it may happen that your wireless router can't be moved from its place. This may be a possibility thus it makes sense to improve the other conditionals for the router to boost the router's signal. Make sure that the router is kept away from all solid obstructions like walls and floors. Even metal objects can cause a problem with your router's signal so position it well away from these to avoid interference. Cordless phones or other wireless devices also have a noise that is generated and your computer is not able to distinguish your router's signal.
· The antennae of your router give off an omni-directional signal, that is, their signal is broadcast in all directions around the router much like a force-field. If your router is placed on the outside of your home or your wireless devices are placed in a linear direction it causes wastage of the signal. In such a situation, use a hi-gain antenna that provides a unidirectional signal that can be focused to a particular direction as needed. · A wireless signal that is generated from the router must also be sent back from your computer and it may happen that your computer is unable to generate the signal strong enough to reach your router. Upgrade your card-based wireless network adapter (if you are using one, if yours is a wireless enabled laptop you don't need to replace it) with a USB network adapter. This uses an external signal and is thus more robust; consider the Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless USB network adapter which is the best in the market today. · As we have seen before, in case you cannot change the position of your router you can solve this problem by adding a repeater. A repeater is simply a device that repeats the signal and carries it over a longer distance wirelessly. Place the repeater at half the distance the signal has to travel for instantly strengthening your wireless signal. Repeaters from reputed manufacturers like ViewSonic, D-Link, Linksys, and Buffalo Technology are best. · Choose your patronage carefully. Don't mix and match when it comes to using routers and adapters that are to be used together. If you use the same vendor they make sure to manufacture their products with a consistent technology that will give you a much better output. If you are still using 802.11b devices consider an 802.11g when you next upgrade. That should most definitely enhance your wireless connection.
