Problems with wireless technology are common news these days. It does not matter how fast the connection is or whether we have a new router; gaining optimum speed is tricky due to incorrect settings and positioning. In this article there are some important tips and info about obtaining maximum output from your Wi-Fi network.

One of the most obvious ways to increase Wi-Fi output is the proper positioning of wireless router and this aspect is generally paid the least attention. The router should preferably be placed in a somewhat central location so that the signals can spread everywhere evenly. Another good idea is to place the gadgets and routers together so that the signals do not try to unnecessary locations in your home or workplace.

Comments and Guidance on Wireless technology

Wireless standards:

Most of the present high end devices are compatible with wireless N standard. Therefore the router that we use should be able to support the latest wireless standards supporting higher speeds and better ranges. In the router setting, select 802.11n for your wireless network in order to gain the highest speed. For running legacy type devices in network used by modern routers, the channel should be set to either wireless g or to wireless b.

Changing the wireless channels:

Wi-Fi is often set on the 2.4GHz bandwidth range which is shared by devices like microwave ovens, phones and baby monitors and also some mobile phones. Too much network in a single frequency band causes signal loss which results in disconnections and an overall slowdown. The best way in order to overcome this problem is to change the network channel by changing the router settings. Programs like InSSSIDer have great review and can be used to find the networks which are overlapping and the channels which are free to use. Then we can set the router to the appropriate channel to get maximum performance. Its better if you manage to get a brand new wireless N router or AC router that uses 5GHz band because they have faster speed and higher reviews.

Regular updating of adapter drivers as well as router firmware:

It is of utmost importance to understand and remember that regular maintenance or updating of software is the most effective way to marginally increase the Wi-Fi performance. A person should always possess the latest drivers meant for the network adapters. This is often known to fix bugs responsible for slowdown. Router firmware which is up to date is also able to fix bugs and add new vital features. So checking for updates should be done frequently if not regularly. And keep update of latest stories of drivers.

Changing the antenna:

Wireless routers are by default omnidirectional and send out signals in every direction. High gain antennas can be used in place of traditional router antennas in areas where Wi-Fi connection is required only in certain direction. Such antennas have been designed to concentrate the signals in a definite direction in order to reduce wastage and maximize the output.

Using repeaters for the router:

These small wireless devices boost the strength of the Wi-Fi signals and extend the range. No extra wiring is required and performance is improved.
