How to boost WiFi signal coverage

Having access to the internet in your home is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Having access to the internet is key to accessing information online, having access to government services, schooling, social interactions, news, automating your home, and running a business. There is a strong argument globally for the internet to be a basic human right. this argument is relevant and gaining more support and traction. The article published by the University of Alabama is dealing with this issue of where the internet should be made basic human rights or not. See the article here

Your home internet needs to be reliable and accessible. Bad internet connection might be very frustrating and in most cases even can lead to business loss most specifically for those running their business or working from home. Your smart home devices might lose connection which is important for their optimal functioning ( Click here to see how home automation is important). You and your family need to be able to access the internet when needed and anywhere around your house. You need your devices and home automation systems to have access to the internet also. This article looks into how to extend home wifi coverage so that you can have wifi anywhere within your home parameters. it can be inside your house or even inside the garden.

Distributed vs Centralized WiFi

Before looking into how to boost your wifi signal coverage, you need to consider two things. Those are if you want to use centralized or distributed wifi. In simple terms, centralized means you will see one wifi name (referred to technically as SSIDs) around the house and connect as you will connect anywhere. If you connect for example when you are in your living room and move out to your garden, you still want to remain connected like you are still in the living room.

Distributed on the other hand means you will have many SSIDs or many wifi names depending on the number of devices you will be used to extend your wifi. For example, looking at this garden example, when you move to the garden you might have another wifi named say garden_wifi. That is like connecting to another different wifi. so if say you have 3 more wifi devices you added to extend your WiFi coverage using this distributed model, it’s like adding more WiFis around you. For those overlapping on certain points, you will see many WiFis instead of just one.

There are many reasons why you need to consider the centralized model for your home WiFi. The topic of distributed vs centralized is a topic of its own and can be more technical. Looking at the basics of it, look at centralized giving you just one same wifi wherever you are in the house as opposed to many. I recommend you consider looking into the centralized wifi model.

Eliminating dead zones using WiFi Signal Booster

WiFi dead zones refer to those parts in the house where you don’t have a signal. Though these WiFi dead zomes might not be critical to some users, it is advisable to eliminate these as much as possible. The reason why you would need to do this can vary. The simple scenario might be to say you are busy on an online call using the VOIP app on your mobile phone which is very important. while on the call, you realized you need to go to another room to either get a document some something related to your conversation. While busy on the call you decide to walk to the other side. Now if you have dead zones on the way you will get disconnected as phone mobile phones will lose wifi signal. If you don’t have wifi dead zones, your call will continue as your mobile devices will be simply get connected to another wifi device as you approach it.

How this can be achieved is by aligning your wifi access points in such a way that their signals are overlapping. Alignment can be done manually using your smart device. There are very good free wifi smart device apps available for this or alternatively get a service provider with commercial tools to assist. This means before the signal is completely dead, your mobile devices should already have reached another wifi access point that is on the same SSID. There is a way to do this as you don’t need many devices to overlap in one area which might result in channel congestion. So the placement of access points is extremely important to ensure that you don’t have any wifi dead zones in your house. The most important trick here however is that your wifi devices should have the capability for seamless handover, which now brings us to the next point which is choosing the right wifi equipment.

How WiFi Signal Booster can improve Home Wifi Speed

When it comes to wifi internet, everyone needs speed. No one wants to wait for that great movie while it is buffering. No one wants to experience cutting calls when on a serious online video or voice call. You want to be to download that software without falling asleep while waiting for the download. The faster WiFi is the new gold in internet space. It is therefore extremely important that when you think of how to extend home wifi coverage, think of speed. There are things that can affect your wifi speed. Firstly is your WiFi equipment and how they are connected. Your WiFi equipment must be able to provide you with a speed that is equal to or higher than what your internet service provider gives you. This will avoid having bottlenecks in your network.

Secondly, it is interference. WiFi signals can experience interference as they fight for the same airspace with many other wireless devices and home equipment such as microwave ovens, gamers, and any hotspot-capable devices. Depending on proximity to your neighbors it can also be your neighbor’s devices causing interference. There is no simpler way to deal with these. The basic of it is to avoid placing access points closer to microwave ovens, game consoles. Make sure that all your hotspot-capable devices have been disabled to broadcast the hotspot. The idea here is to keep the airspace as clean as possible especially when you are using the 2.4GHZ space which has very limited channels and a high probability of interference. If all your devices are 5GHZ capable, It is highly recommended that you look into switching off your 2.4GHZ but this might probably land you in trouble with your visiting aunt still using old mobile devices cable of 2.4GHZ.

Choosing the right WiFi Booster Signal equipment

Now you have decided on what you looking for. You have decided you looking for a centralized solution with no WiFi dead zones. You want to be able to be mobile and talk on your phone. Now the most important thing to do is to choose the right brand and equipment that will be able to help you achieve this requirement. Let’s break this into two parts. Will separately look at the actual physical WiFi equipment and the choice of WiFi equipment brand.

WiFi equipment

In order for you to build your home WiFi network which can be centralized, and with no dead zones requires a certain type of equipment. Not all WiFi equipment is the same. There are many different kinds of WiFi equipment to choose from depending on the application but we will look at what will provide us with what we looking for, which is centralized WiFi with no dead zones. For this, you need to have access points and a central management device. To have proper coverage you will need to have access points both indoor and outdoor. There are access points specifically designed for outdoor, and those specifically designed for indoor. for indoor access points, look at the ceiling mount access point. They provide easy signal distribution and also neat installation. These access points can be connected together wirelessly using mesh technology or using an ethernet cable. The choice between wireless mesh and cabling will depend on the structure of your home building and accessibility for cable. The Cabled approach seems more reliable and therefore the advice is always to look at cabled networking as the first option.

There are situations where ceiling mount might not the feasible and in such cases, look at the wall mount option. Ideally, you would like to go to the ceiling mount. The external WiFi access points can either be pole or wall-mounted and depending on the size of your outside garden, you can decide which type will fit the scenario. Next, you will need to choose how these devices will be powered. That is if you need to power them from a power source directly or must be powered from the network if you are using a wired approach. With the mesh network, all you will need is power cabling. If you chose a wired network, look at access points with PoE support. This means access points that can be powered by the network. These are referred to as Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. The PoE means that the devices won’t have separate power cables but will be powered by the PoE switch.
