Extending Your WiFi: Methods for Better Coverage

 

As our dependence on the internet grows, so does our need for a reliable and strong Wi-Fi signal. Unfortunately, many of us have experienced the frustration of poor Wi-Fi coverage in certain areas of our homes, properties or offices. Luckily there's a solution to poor wifi reach and The Techery just happens to be specialists in this particular area!

To understand better how The Techery can help you solve this issue, we’ll explain a little about how Wi-Fi extension works!

A Wi-Fi extender, also known as a repeater, is a device that extends the range of your wireless network. It works by receiving the signal from your router and then amplifying and rebroadcasting it to a wider area. This can be especially useful if you have a large home or office with multiple floors, thick walls, or areas that are far away from your router. It’s also useful for extending coverage over large properties or even to second dwellings!

Here are some things our technicians consider when setting up a Wi-Fi extender:

  1. Placement: The location of your Wi-Fi extender is important. We want to place it in an area that's close enough to your router to receive a strong signal but far enough away to extend the range. Ideally, it will be placed in an area with minimal interference from other electronic devices.
  2. Compatibility: We’ll make sure your Wi-Fi extender is compatible with your router. We’ll check the frequency and speed of your router and look for an extender that matches or exceeds those specs.
  3. Security: We always ensure that your Wi-Fi extender is secure by setting a strong password and enabling encryption. This will help prevent unauthorized access to your network.
  4. Set up: Setting up a Wi-Fi extender is often a complex process. Some models come with a plug-and-play setup, but some may require additional configuration. It can also be a bit of a puzzle working out the best extender map across your property for optimal coverage. 
  5. Performance: Finally, we test your Wi-Fi extender's performance to ensure that it's working correctly. We use a special program to check the signal strength and speed in different areas of your home or office.

In conclusion, a Wi-Fi extender can be a comprehensive and effective solution to extend your Wi-Fi signal's range. With careful placement, compatibility, security, setup, and performance testing, The Techery can improve your Wi-Fi coverage which will allow you to enjoy a faster, more reliable internet connection.
