How to improve your Wireless internet and network connection?
Microsoft Windows gives you a notification whenever your wireless
network has a weak signal. This is a sign that you should improve your
wireless network. When you get this notification, it means that the
wireless connection is not as reliable or high-speed as it's supposed to
be. In fact, the wireless connection signal may be completely lost in
certain areas of the house. If you would like to improve your wireless
network signal, you should carry out a few of these tips. These tips
will extend the wireless range. They will also improve the overall
performance as well as reliability of the wireless network.
Re-position the wireless router (or wireless access point) to the centre
of the house.
Place the router away from walls.
Place the router off the floor.
Place the router away from metal objects.
Instead of using a standard antenna which you get with the router, use a
hi-gain one. If the standard router is placed by an outer wall, part of
the wireless signals will be directed outside the house. This will also
waste the power of the router. Hi-gain antennas send the wireless
signals in a single specific direction which you are able to aim on the
path where you need them a large amount.
Add a wireless repeater to extend the signal range.
Change
the wireless router's channel to increase the strength of its signal.
You can do that through the configuration page of the router. The
computer will detect the new channel itself.
Update your firmware updates for your router through the manufacturer's website. Update your network adapter driver through the Windows Update feature of Windows 7 and Vista or visit the website www.update.microsoft.com for Windows XP.
