WIFI - How to Get a Rock-Stable Internet Connection

 

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

 

 

A weak or noisy internet connection is normally caused by lost or scrambled data packets. These damaged packets are consistently being 're-sent' between the router and the receiving computer. This will sluggish down your connection considerably and will even keep you from getting on the Internet at all.

 

 

There are a number of ways you'll be able to improve these weak WIFI signals. The best is to move the wireless router. If attainable, try to find your router near the center of the building. I've picked up WIFI signals from as far away as 1,000 ft when there were no obstacles blocking the transmission. On the other hand, I've also had a hard time just getting the signal to go from one finish of a house to the other. This may be especially true if the router is positioned on a different floor than the receiving computer. The more partitions and floors the signal passes through, the weaker it gets.

 

 

If you cannot find the router close to the middle of the building, there are several other things you'll be able to do. First, try moving the receiving computer to a special location. Even turning it in a special direction may help. Laptops typically have the WIFI antenna constructed into the monitor so just turning the laptop slightly might be all you will need to do to improve the reception.

 

 

In general, I've discovered that USB Internet adapters work a lot better than laptop internal receivers. The reason is...these exterior adapters come with a three to 5 foot wire permitting the adapter to be placed high in the air and away from obstacles that is perhaps blocking the WIFI signal. Unfortunately, this means dragging around an extra gadget which will not be what I really need to do. Luckily, in most cases your internal WIFI system will get the job carried out just fine.

 

 

If you need to reach out to an AP that's hundreds and even thousands of ft away, you will need to analyze adding a high-gain antenna and a USB Internet adapter. This is actually old technology. Ham radio buffs have been building hi-acquire antennas for decades permitting them to receive signals from around the world. There are various antenna designs available that practically anyone can build. For a number of dollars, you can enhance your range considerably.

 

 

The world document for a WIFI connection using 'only' a hi-achieve antenna is 238 miles! You are probably not planning on difficult any records, but it's pretty common to see individuals connecting to wireless routers as much as a mile or more away, just by utilizing DIY antennas.
