  1. Locate the access point or wireless router in a central location
    Whenever possible, try placing the wireless router in a central location in our house. If instead we place the wireless router near a wall will weaken the signal more quickly.A priori not worry if you can not move the router to another location, there are still many things you can do to improve.
  2. Do not place the router on the floor, or near walls or metal objects.
    The metal significantly affects the signal, producing unexpected rebound effects. The walls, and floors can affect whether a similar way inside is steel mesh, which is rather common in the way of building our country.The closer the router of these elements the weaker the signal that starts from that location.

  3. Replace the router antenna
    In 90% of cases, antennas that incorporate wireless routers are omnidirectional antennas.
    This means that the signal is emitted in all directions around the antenna of the router. If your router is located in an area near a wall. If the signal being crossed out of the house, it means that part of our transmission power is being wasted. Practically no router policy can deliver more power from that set, but what I can do is change a directional antenna that broadcasts in the sense that interests us and replace by the existing omni-directional antenna.
  4. Replace the network adapter on the PC
    Replace the existing adapter for a USB device has the sole purpose of connecting an external antenna device also connected to the PC. USB devices also usually have a cable that also allow us to relocate the receiver-transmitter in a more optimal.
  5. Add a wireless repeater
    Repeaters are intended to propagate the signal by extending the coverage range. Almost does not require any special configuration. Connect to a relay estarse is basically like connecting to the router or access point of principal. Repeaters to be connected to the power supply are sending and receiving more than just a PC card.
  6. Changing the wireless channel
    The wireless routers can function as any other device in several different channels. In the U.S. and Canada, for example using the standard channels are 1, 6, and 11. But in reality you can usually choose a channel between 1 and 11. More and more devices that can interfere with our wireless data signal. Tested by me personally I have found some channels interference with microwave
    with devices that allow you to send the television signal and audio from one point of the house to another, with the Wii Remote, among others. Therefore, if the wireless signal is bad or regularly cut the first things to try is to change the broadcast channel. This change is usually only required at the wireless router or access point, because the PC’s auto-detect the channel through which the signal is received.
  7. Reduce wireless interference
    We said in the previous section some elements that could interfere with the signal, which can be solved by changing channels. To these elements must also add wireless phones. We wanted to make special mention of these devices in a later section because many of them can interfere with more than one channel and it is difficult to have a clean signal whether these phones exist.
  8. Keep updated hardware
    Manufacturers usually release versions of the drivers or firmware for routers or wireless access points. It is important in any case keep the current hardware, on many occasions for performance of the devices and on other occasions only for security.
  9. Purchase products from the same manufacturer
    While it is true that you can have a Linksys router and a wireless PC card brand D-Link, the fact is that manufacturers have created proprietary technologies to achieve speeds in certain conditions in addition to the standard rules. For example in the case of Linksys, they have called SpeedBooster technology. D-Link instead use the turbo 108g improved.
  10. Update 802.11b 802.11g 802.11n devices
    Dispostable 802.11b devices are now practically obsolete, and therefore if you think about purchasing new hardware with wireless technology is best decided by the 802.11g standard, but 802.11n is now also becoming more widespread. It is the technology known as MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output). The concept of transmission is the same, ie wireless, but the ability to send and receive signals from a multiplexed by different antennas, makes the scope and ability to transfer the signal is much higher.
    For the controario 802.11n devices are still too expensive and can only be enjoyed at full capacity, if all elements of the network have this rule.
