WiFi network not to force? Try these 6 tips-WiFi, Wi-Fi Internet connection-IT information
According to the Fortune Web site reported, not to force the wireless WiFi connection Internet feels like going back to the era of dial-up.
WiFi Advisor, Sniff WiFi Blogger Ben Miller (Ben Miller) said some simple methods for home Internet connection speed "to a friend′s House when one of my favorite things is to help them resolve problems WiFi router".
Fortune says of Miller is often used for the WiFi network speed are as follows 6 easy ways:
1, upgrade obsolete router
Not everyone is willing to spend money to solve the problem of slow WiFi speeds, but many people need to do. Router technology over recent years significant progress has been made, the new router can solve many problems, especially for users who use equipment provided by the Internet access provider.
Recommend router is a Google OnHub Miller, "it uses adaptive antenna technology can really expand the coverage and improve signal strength".
Miller is like, OnHub of the Adaptive antenna with 60 degrees instead of 360-degree beam of radio waves to send data. Which means that even in independent villas, WiFi signal transmission more distance, such as a terrace or garden.
2, make sure to use frequency bands
A new WiFi router can transmit data in two different frequency bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Select the most appropriate band can dramatically increase signal WiFi network coverage and reliability.
Generally speaking, low band frequency, signal power greater. If there are walls between routers, devices, refrigerators or other obstructions, the user should use the 2.4Ghz channel.
5GHz signal higher bandwidth, which means that the data transfer rate is higher than 2.4Ghz. 5Ghz there are more channels. Miller said, "even with a neighbor, found a neighbor does not have the possibility of using the channel of the router is very high. ”
Parts, including Apple Airport Extreme router "dual-band" mode, which means that they can transfer data using both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. One reason is, if you have smart home devices via a WiFi connection-many devices only receive 2.4Ghz signal, it might be a good idea.
3, select the most appropriate channel
Neighborhood, like cordless phones interfere with each other in the past, similar to the WiFi network will interfere with each other. Miller said that in order to solve this problem, the router needs to switch channel. Most routers automatically switches channels, but manual settings might be a better idea, especially in the case of signal blind area.
He said, "If there is a signal blind spots-typically farther away from the wireless router, open Airport Utility in a signal blind area, see if there are any free channel or channel that isn′t too heavy. "He′s going to turn off the router for automatic channel selection function, select channel that a less intrusive.
Airport Utility is the router settings on Mac OS and iOS platforms. On the Windows platform, Miller recommended the use of Acrylic free WiFi software to scan channels, he recommended for Android users Farproc WiFi Analyzer.
4, down RTS threshold
There is a way to reduce the interference on the WiFi network. Some router has a user can modify the settings of the RTS.
If the RTS field in the router setup software, try setting it to 0. If the router is not working properly, start raising RTS threshold until it works.
5, use high strength encryption methods
For security reasons, it is advisable to use password-protected wireless network security. At the time of setting up the router, users have a variety of security options to choose from, but only one network security options: WPA2.
Miller said WPA2 uses a support only the fastest wireless network (802.11n and 802.11ac), the advanced encryption standard (hereinafter "AES"). If you choose to close the AES or using a different encryption method, the system will shift the WiFi network 802.11g or 802.11A.
Miller said "WPA2 relative popularity in the service providers, their technical staff will be WiFi router for the user settings. ”
6, use the Powerline network coverage
Sometimes a home WiFi network problem unrelated to network, but rather caused by room--the room is too large. Miller said that after this happens, the best move is using Powerline to expand wireless Internet coverage.
Powerline is a device transfer data over the wire. User simply plugged a Powerline, and near it with an Ethernet network cable connected to the modem or the router, then insert another Powerline WiFi signal not near the power supply socket. Result will have two signals strong network covering families.
But Powerline′s performance and the quality of the wiring in your home and other factors.
WiFi网络不给力？试试这6招 - WiFi,无线网络,网速 - IT资讯
据《财富》网站报道，不给力的WiFi连接使得无线上网给人的感觉像是回到了拨号时代。
WiFi顾问、Sniff WiFi博主本·米勒(Ben Miller)表示，有些简单方法能给家中的互联网连接提速，“去朋友家中时我最喜欢的事情之一是帮助他们解决WiFi路由器存在的问题”。
《财富》表示，以下是米勒经常用来为WiFi网络提速的6种简单方法：
1、升级过时的路由器
并非所有人都愿意花钱解决WiFi网速慢的问题，但许多人都需要这么做。最近数年路由器技术取得了重大进展，新路由器能解决许多问题，尤其是对于使用由互联网接入服务商提供设备的用户。
米勒推荐的一款路由器是谷歌OnHub，“它使用自适应天线技术，能真正扩大信号覆盖范围和提升信号强度”。
让米勒喜欢的是，OnHub的自适应天线利用60度而非360度无线电波束发送数据。这意味着即使在独立别墅中，WiFi信号也能传输更远的距离，例如露天平台或庭院中。
2、搞清楚使用的频段
较新的WiFi路由器能以两个不同的频段传输数据：2.4GHz和5GHz。选择最合适的频段能极大提升WiFi网络的信号覆盖范围和可靠性。
通常来说，频段频率越低，信号功率就越大。如果在路由器、设备之间有墙壁、冰箱或其他障碍物，用户应当使用2.4Ghz信道。
5GHz频段信号带宽更高，这意味着其数据传输速率高于2.4Ghz频段。5Ghz频段还有更多信道。米勒表示，“即使有邻居，路由器发现一个邻居没有使用的信道的可能性很高。”
包括苹果Airport Extreme在内的部分路由器拥有“双频”模式，这意味着它们能同时使用2.4Ghz和5Ghz频段传输数据。一个原因是，如果有通过WiFi连接的智能家居设备——许多设备只接收2.4Ghz信号，这可能是个好主意。
3、选择最合适的信道
与以往邻居间无绳电话会相互干扰一样，相近的WiFi网络也会相互干扰。米勒表示，为了解决这一问题，路由器需要切换使用的信道。大多数路由器能自动切换信道，但手动设置可能是一个更好的主意，尤其是在存在信号盲区的情况下。
他说，“如果存在信号盲区——通常距离无线路由器较远，在信号盲区打开Airport Utility，查看是否有空闲信道或不太拥挤的信道。”他会关闭路由器的自动信道选择功能，选择一个干扰较小的信道。
Airport Utility是Mac OS和iOS平台上的路由器设置工具。在Windows平台上，米勒推荐使用免费的Acrylic WiFi软件扫描信道，他推荐Android用户使用Farproc的WiFi Analyzer。
4、下调RTS阀值
还有一种方法能减少对WiFi网络的干扰。部分路由器有一个用户可以修改的RTS设置项。
如果路由器设置软件中有RTS域，尝试把它设置为0。如果路由器不能正常工作，开始上调RTS阀值，直至它能正常工作。
5、使用强度高的加密方法
出于安全原因，利用密码保护无线网络安全是明智的。在设置路由器时，用户有多种安全选项可供选择，但只有一个安全选项涉及网络性能：WPA2。
据米勒称，WPA2使用一种只支持最快无线网络(802.11n和802.11ac)的先进加密标准(以下简称“AES”)。如果选择关闭AES或使用一种不同加密方法，系统会将整个WiFi网络转向802.11g或802.11a标准。
米勒称，“WPA2在服务提供商中相对普及，它们的技术人员会为用户设置WiFi路由器。”
6、利用Powerline扩展网络覆盖范围
有时家庭WiFi网络的问题与网络无关，而是由房间本身造成的——房间过大。米勒说，出现这种情况后，最好的举措是利用Powerline扩大无线网络覆盖范围。
Powerline是一种通过家中电线传输数据的设备。用户只需把一个Powerline插入电源插座中，并通过以太网网线将它与附近的调制解调器或路由器相连，然后把另外一个Powerline插入WiFi信号不好的区域附近的电源插座中。其结果是将有两个信号颇强的网络覆盖家庭。
但Powerline的表现与家中的电线质量等因素密切相关。
