Lets start right away!
- Never hide your router! Poeple used to hide their routers and this is why you’re getting lags. Placing a router in a closet or in a cabinet slow your Wifi, because walls and doors absorb signal strength. Find a central point in your house and put your router on a table or wardrobe. Remember that some routers are designed to project their signal slightly downward, kepp it in your mind when you think about place for your router.
- Reset your router regularly. It sounds simple enough, but sometimes this is really helpful. Some of tech support problems can be resolved by resetting or rebooting your router or modem on a regular basis. If you are in trouble, just do it, because it’s probably the first thing your Net provider will ask you to do when you call to complain what is going on. If you’re one of the many people that has to reboot the router very often, it doesn’t drop out, this is a solution. You should run a few tests to make sure the problem isn’t caused by heat, viruses or malwares, old firmware or excess downloading.
- Feel free to use use beer cans – yeah i know. It sounds crazy but this method is tested and it seems to be really helpful. The good news is you will have to drink one before you even get started. The aluminum in beer and soda can extend the signal farther than the wifi router itself – can you believe it?Just remove the pop top and then cut around the bottom of the can to remove it. Repeat this process for the top of beer can, just below the mouth. Do not cut all the way around, leave a small space at the top. Let’s do this to make sure the mouth of the can is attached. The next step is: cut down the middle of the can on the opposite side. Create a parabola and turn your can upside down to stand it up. After it, stick the router’s antenna through the mouth of can and use a small piece of duct tape or blu-track to keep it in place. However, your router might look messy, but your Wi-fi signal strength should greatly improve.
- Use both bands to improve your wireless connection performance. I remember my old antenna based on 2,4 GHz, it was working like The Witcher 4 on mobile phone. Many routers have radios that operate on 2 types of frequencies – 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. You are able to have two networks running at the same time! Need the solution? Use one of them for devices that access WiFi at the lower frequency and another for more advanced or more important things at 5 GHz. Remember that higher band is less crowded and it should be better for high-bandwidth uses, for example streaming video.
Security Tips for Wifi:
Use firewalls and antimalware softwares for make for net safer. Modern network routers contain built-in firewalls, but if your router is old, read these tips. At start ensure that your router’s firewall is turned on. If not, you know what to do. For extra security, consider installing and running additional security programs on each device connected to the router. Don’t forget about mobile devices like tablets, all smartphones, iphones, ipods, ipads etc. Having too many layers of security apps is overkill. Notice that having an unprotected system with critical data is the worst thing ever.
Change the admin password and change your network SSID to some Funny WiFi Names. The most of Wi-Fi home networks is a broadband router access point. To set up these pieces of equipment, these systems include an embedded server and pages that allow owners to enter their account information. These tools are protected with a login screen and it means that only the rightful owner can make changes. Anyway, the logins provided by your Internet provider are simple and well-known to hackers. Change these settings as quickly as possible.
Everone loves to use someones wireless connection like a boss. But if you use this option on your phone, read it carefully. Connecting to an open Wifi networks like free wireless hotspot or your neighbor’s router exposes your device to security risks. You must definitely stop auto-connecting to open wifi networks – deal with it. Although not normally enabled, most computers have a setting available. You unintentionally allowing these connections to happen automatically. This setting should not be enabled if you want to avoid dangerous situations and stay safer.
Shut down your network when it’s not being used. This tip is even more dependent on specific circumstances than most of them. If you have the sort of network that does not need to be running 24/h, you can easily reduce the availability of it. Improve your security crackers by turning it off when it isn’t in use, but sometimes it goes wrong.
I know some cases when restarting or shutting down wifi without real reasons or for fun is not a good decision. Why? Because some routers automatically adjust their speed on the client capabilities. If you reset router a few times per a day, the system can detect it as error caused too much data transferred. In effects your wifi will slow your Internet speed, as you see, this is some kind of misunderstanding.
