Can you boost the signal from a router?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to Life123.com, "If you're experiencing wireless signal issues, you can always add a wireless signal amplifier. An amplifier connects to your wireless router and boosts the signal output, typically by connecting to where your antenna connects. Wireless signal amplifiers also boost the receiving capabilities of your wireless router, ultimately increasing your network speed and ensuring that you never lose signal."

You can buy them here (see related links).

Best location for a wireless router?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best location is somewhere centrally located so that all areas of the house are covered. Obviously not always possible so take this into consideration the less walls the router has to travel through including floors the better the signal. Also electronics will mess the signal ex. tvs, microwaves, stereos etc.

Can you use a router with peoplepc dsl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. You must first make sure your DSL modem is just a modem not a modem and a router. Then you must setup your DSL modem in "bridged mode". Next log into your router and change it from DHCP to PPPoE and enter your DSL username and password in the proper fields. All will work well from that point on.

Thanks,

What happens when a wireless access point WAP is configured to stop broadcasting the SSID?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Its supposed to offer more security from hackers. That's all. If i were your neighbour and was using a windows machine to hack your internet, I wouldn't know you had interenet because its "invisible". So technically if i cant see it, then i cant hack it.

However, you can download tools which will reveal it anyway. But that's the idea behind not broadcasting your ssid.

BTW: you know what the ssid is..?? Incase you don't, when you go to connect to a wireless connection your computer does a search to see whats available. Then it shows all the networks which are in range and asks you to pick one. The name of the network you see is the ssid.

No - you use a Wifi card or USB Wifi adapter to access the router. Bluetooth operates on the same frequency as Wifi (2.4Ghz), however the transmission protocol is different and at a lower power.

What are the signals that are transmitted to and from wireless electronic devices carried on?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Radiofrequency (RF) Signals:

RF signals are used in various wireless communication technologies, including:

Cellular networks: Mobile phones use RF signals to communicate with cell towers.

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity): Wi-Fi devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and routers, use RF signals to connect to local wireless networks.

Bluetooth: Bluetooth-enabled devices, like headphones, speakers, and smartphones, use RF signals for short-range wireless connections.

Zigbee: Zigbee is a wireless communication protocol commonly used in smart home devices like smart lights, thermostats, and sensors.

NFC (Near Field Communication): NFC technology allows devices to exchange data over very short distances, often used for contactless payments and device pairing.

Infrared (IR) Signals:

Infrared signals are used for short-range communication between devices that have IR transmitters and receivers. TV remote controls are a common example of devices that use IR signals.

GPS Signals:

Global Positioning System (GPS) devices receive signals from multiple satellites to determine their precise location and provide navigation information. GPS signals are crucial for location-based services and navigation applications.

How far can a 2.4ghz router reach?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the antenna you are using. Without going into great detail about propagation, interference, and other factors to get the most range out any frequency you need a good antenna. The antenna of choice would be a directional antenna with a narrow beam-width. These using come in the form of a grid or parabolic dish. These particular types of antennas do a good job of focusing the radiated energy for the maximum distance or range. In a point to point setup with clear line of site, low interference, and clear Fresnel zone one could reach over 30+ miles.
