That&#8217;s especially true with <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The most common <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>problem<\/strong> is in establishing a &#8216;good&#8217; <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong> between the remote computer and the wireless router. Many people don&#8217;t realize that just because you&#8217;re receiving a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>signal<\/strong> from your wireless router, (AP) you still may not be able to log onto the Internet. Here&#8217;s the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>problem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A weak or noisy internet <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong> is usually caused by lost or scrambled data packets. These damaged packets are constantly being &#8216;re-sent&#8217; between the router and the receiving computer. This will slow down your <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong> considerably and could even keep you from getting on the Internet at all.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways you can improve these weak <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong> signals. The easiest is to move the wireless router. If possible, try to locate your router near the center of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>building<\/strong>. I&#8217;ve picked up <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong> signals from as far away as 1,000 feet when there were no obstacles blocking the transmission. On the other hand, I&#8217;ve also had a hard <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> just getting the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>signal<\/strong> to go from <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> end of a house to the other. This can be especially true if the router is located on a different floor than the receiving computer. The more walls and floors the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>signal<\/strong> passes through, the weaker it gets.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t locate the router near the center of the building, there are several other things you can do. First, try moving the receiving computer to a different location. Even turning it in a different direction may help. Laptops often have the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong> antenna built into the monitor so just turning the laptop slightly might be all you&#8217;ll <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>need<\/strong> to do to improve the reception.<\/p>\n<p>In general, I&#8217;ve found that USB Internet adapters work much better than laptop internal receivers. The reason is&#8230;these external adapters come with a three to five foot cord allowing the adapter to be placed high in the air and away from obstacles that might be blocking the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>signal<\/strong>. Unfortunately, this means dragging around an extra device which is not what I really want to do. Luckily, in most cases your internal <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong> device will get the job done just fine.<\/p>\n<p>If you <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>need<\/strong> to reach out to an AP that&#8217;s hundreds or even thousands of feet away, you&#8217;ll <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>need<\/strong> to investigate adding a high-gain antenna and a USB Internet adapter. This is actually old technology. <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Ham<\/strong> radio buffs have been <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>building<\/strong> hi-gain antennas for decades allowing them to receive signals from around the world. There are various antenna designs available that practically anyone can build. For a few dollars, you can boost your range considerably.<\/p>\n<p>The world record for a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>connection<\/strong> using &#8216;only&#8217; a hi-gain antenna is 238 miles! You&#8217;re probably not planning on challenging any records, but it&#8217;s pretty common to see people connecting to wireless routers up to a mile or more away, just by using DIY antennas.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not satisfied with your wireless Internet connection, try some of the things I&#8217;ve mentioned. They should help. If you&#8217;re still having problems then I&#8217;d look into <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>building<\/strong> your own hi-gain <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>WIFI<\/strong> antenna. It will provide the ultimate wireless performance.
