What to do if you have no choice?

Post by Rina7RS »

Ideally, you should have at least one non-overlapping channel free, but if you live in a city, the fact that everyone has at least one wireless router broadcasting a Wi-Fi signal will seriously limit your channel's capabilities.

If the spectrum analyzer you use to scan your surroundings for all Wi-Fi signals shows that you’re having no luck with the obvious channels, the first thing you can do is change the channel bandwidth. Yes, I know, 80 MHz and 160 MHz provide much better throughput than 40 MHz or even 20 MHz in severe cases on 5 GHz, but to get a semblance of a reliable Wi-Fi connection, it’s a sacrifice worth making. Going from 800 Mbps to 300–400 Mbps shouldn’t have much of an impact on most types of applications.

If you've considered limiting the signal from your own wireless kuwait telegram data routerAP so it doesn't go past your walls, that's not a bad idea, and in an ideal world, your neighbors would do the same so you both get the best Wi-Fi. Most people don't fully understand their routerAP settings, so I wouldn't hold your breath. The good news is that many modern technologies automatically select the best channel, which is a great convenience when setting up your router.

But the most valuable piece of equipment is the one that surveys the site every few weeksmonths and adjusts its settings to new conditions. You'd be surprised how often the Wi-Fi networks around you change, and if your Wi-Fi connection suddenly drops, it's possible that one of your neighbors has decided to connect to the same channel as your access point.
