Have you setup a wireless network at home and find that you still don’t have the kind of performance you expect? Even after setting up proper equipment?
The issue is a question of optimization. Simple setting up a network is not enough, you will need to test it to find any bottlenecks and/or issues. Here is how:
Channels
Wireless networks operate at different frequency channels. Some access points and routers will default to a specific channel. Some higher end networks on the other hand will have an auto option where it hunts for the best channel. Use a wifi scanner on your smartphone to determine which channels are used and if they overlap with each other or a neighbor’s network. Try to have as little overlap as possible and you will see immediate speed and stability improvements.
Frequency
There are 2ghz and 5ghz options for wireless. 5ghz is faster and penetrates walls better but it shorter range and the reverse it true for 2ghz. Do a quick list of the devices you have that support which frequency and then set your access points accordingly. Most older devices only support 2ghz.
Location
The exact location of your access points also matter. The best coverage is when the signal is unimpeded or central. Ultimately the best way to fix an access point it is on the ceiling, but that can be problematic in most homes. If that is not possible try to place them as centrally as you can to avoid wasting signal sending it by sending it outside.
