Nowadays, more and more family use wireless routers and wireless network card to form a LAN. However, to a network formed by wireless router, its data transmission rate will be greatly influenced by the signal strength. When we use the newly purchased wireless router, it is disappointing to find that the wireless signal coverage is not as good as it claims. Firstly, put your wireless router at the reasonable and right location.

Generally speaking, the wireless card client side possesses the capability of signal strength detection. Besides, we can also install the Network Stumbler software to detect where the signal is strongest.

Secondly, Change the signal channel to reduce interference

We can see the wireless channel options in the wireless router’s configuration interface. In general, there are 11 wireless signal channels of 54M followed by channel 1 to channel 11. When there are multiple wireless signals using the same channel, there will be signal interference.

If the nearby neighbors use the same channel with us, then both wireless signals will be affected.

That is to say, channel 6’s signal will affect that of Channel 5 and Channel 7 at the same time. Thirdly, extend the antenna to enhance signal

For the directional antennas can only transmit signals in one direction.

In addition, we can also extend the wireless network card’s antenna.
