The most typical problem is in establishing a ‘good’ connection between the distant pc and the wireless router. Many people do not realize that just because you are receiving a signal out of 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 usually caused by lost or scrambled data packets. These damaged packets are continuously being ‘re-sent’ between the router and the receiving computer. This will gradual down your connection considerably and will even keep you from getting on the Internet at all.

There are several ways you can improve these weak WIFI signals. The easiest is to move the wireless router. If attainable, try to locate your router close to 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. Then again, I’ve additionally had a hard time just getting the signal to go from one finish of a house to the other. This can be very true if the router is located on a distinct floor than the receiving computer. The more walls and floors the signal passes by, the weaker it gets.

If you can’t locate the router near the center of the building, there are several different things you can do. First, attempt moving the receiving computer to a unique location. Even turning it in a distinct direction may help. Laptops often have the WIFI antenna built into the monitor so just turning the laptop slightly is likely to be all you’ll need to do to improve the reception.

Generally, I’ve found that USB Internet adapters work much better than laptop inner receivers. The reason is…these exterior adapters come with a three to five foot twine permitting the adapter to be placed high in the air and away from obstacles that could be blocking the WIFI signal. Unfortunately, this means dragging around an additional gadget which isn’t what I really want to do. Luckily, in most cases your internal WIFI device will get the job done just fine.

If it’s good to reach out to an AP that’s hundreds and even 1000’s of toes away, you’ll need to research adding a high-achieve antenna and a USB Internet adapter. This is definitely old technology. Ham radio buffs have been building hi-gain antennas for decades allowing them to obtain signals from around the world. There are numerous antenna designs available that practically anybody can build. For a number of dollars, you’ll be able to enhance your range considerably.

The world report for a WIFI connection using ‘only’ a hi-gain antenna is 238 miles! You’re probably not planning on difficult any records, but it’s pretty widespread to see people connecting to wireless routers as much as a mile or more away, just by utilizing DIY antennas.
