Page 2 of 4 3 - Replace your router or its antenna.
If you really want to get serious about your reception you can either change your wireless router to ones that can compensate for interference using antenna arrays. Or replace the omni-directional antenna in your current router. This can work as your router sends its signal in every direction. If you can direct the signal you may find that the reception level is much better.
4 - Replace your computer's wireless network adapter.
Of course there is another side to the reception of a warless signal. What about the wireless adapter in you PC or Laptop? One great way to test if the warless network in your home has a good enough signal is to get a friend with a Laptop that has a wireless adapter in it to see if they are able to get a great signal. If they can you may need to replace your adapter! Ouch..
Note: Always try to use the same manufacturer for both the router and adapter.
5 - Add a wireless repeater. So far we have tried to get the best signal out of our existing warless router. If we have been unsuccessful then a good (not very cheap) solution is to purchase a wireless repeater. This will allow the signal to cover a greater “foot-print” that with a router on it own.
Note: Make sure you have tried everything here first before spending any of you hard earned money! |
