Thank you for checking out the video!

- Consumer grade wifi antennas are 1.3~1.5 db, which means the transmission profile is spherical in nature and has a range of approximately 100~150 feet. Changing the antennas to a 10 db gives a transmission profile resembling a donut with a range of 1000~1200 feet. The higher the db value of wifi antenna the more directional the transmission profile becomes. Routers with built in antennas do not allow antenna switching. If your wifi setup is experiencing dead zones then bridge a secondary router connected via a cat5 or better ethernet cable between each router and placing them at different placements to enhance the overall wifi signal.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I was having horrible Bluetooth range issues with the wifi/bluetooth card in my desktop computer so I decided to just try the angling the antenna towards specific areas of my home since I figured it might work in a similar way. Turns out it works amazing now, I can walk all the way to the kitchen while still having my Bluetooth headphones stay connected when before it would disconnect!

Thank you thats great but i have a question.. Ihave a poor coverage in my apartment and my router goes from 0.5mbs to 600mbs!! Because i live kinda in the border of the 5G tower..so which cheap router option with high catching signal do you offer? I even don’t know how to measure and compare different routers in catching signals and I prefer to change router instead of trying antennas

@network-from-home

Ай бұрын

@l3zoxl thanks for reaching out. One thing I want to make clear is that a 5g cellular tower shouldn't have any impact on your internet connection. It sounds like you may just want to adjust the antennas on your router to ensure the areas in your home where you access the internet get a strong internet signal. Another option you might want to look at here is a mesh WiFi router. These routers allow you to place multiple router endpoints throughout your home to ensure you get a strong WiFi signal everywhere. I hope this helps!

Awsome😊😊

Is the signal from the antenna polarized? If so, that would play into decisions about orientation.

@network-from-home

4 ай бұрын

@brucefay5126 yes, the signal on most WiFi antennas is linearly polarized, which is why the signals come out horizontally from the length of the antenna.

What about a device that works via wifi? I bought a wifi security camera, and I mounted it in a pole outside my house. Do you have any advice for how should I position the two antennas in the camera for optimal signal?

@network-from-home

4 ай бұрын

@User-jr7vf great question. The rules that apply to your router are the same ones I would apply to your camera. I would position the antennas on your camera so that they are perpendicular to the direction of your router. You need to ensure the camera gets a good WiFi signal, and aligning the antennas this way should do the trick (as long as it is within range of your router's WiFi signal).

I've repaired a few or so wireless security cameras. All of them I've looked at only have on real antenna and one fake antenna. Which one is real or not can sometimes be seen from the back.

Useful subject! I'm trying to improve the signal to downstairs, the router being upstairs; it's a wifi6 xr1000 gaming router. I'm using a signal analyzer on my cell, and I'm not seeing much of a difference moving the antennas. It's a good 5Ghz signal for streaming, but not as strong as I would like. I'm getting a good workout running up and down the stairs, however :P

@jamcdona if moving the antennas does not give you a great boost when it comes to your WiFi signal, you may want to look into moving your router (if possible). With that said, it sounds like you are still getting adequate signal with your router where it is. You might not want to mess with it too much!

You want your antennas straight up. Practically any router in the last few years has some form of beamforming. It will direct the signal towards the device sending/receiving data. I've tested this several times and ALWAYS, ALWAYS having all 4x antennas straight up gave me the best signal at the longest ranges. It's good that they CAN move because you may want to mount your router onto a wall.

So, does each antenna send and receive? Or is there a separate send antenna and a separate receive antenna?

Is using 2 antenna instead of one is better ?

@network-from-home

2 antennas is probably preferred because it allows you to aim the WiFi signals that are broadcast from your router. In other words, a 2 antenna router is more customizable to your unique home network

What are the benefits of having a tri-band home mesh system vs. a single?

@network-from-home

3 ай бұрын

@leticiawatson3707 the benefit of a tri-band system compared to a single band system is that you can provide faster wireless connections to devices that have higher bandwidth needs. A single band router most likely only provides a 2.4GHz WiFi signal, which is slower (but provides a stronger signal over longer distances) when compared to a 5 GHz WiFi signal. With that said, you get the best of both worlds with a tri-band router because you have 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks for your devices to connect to. I hope this helps!

What do you do if your antennas are internal? Do you lay down your router?

@network-from-home

5 ай бұрын

@bookbabe1988 if your router antennas are internal, they're usually designed to broadcast WiFi signals equally in all directions. If you place the router upright so it is standing on its base, you should be in good shape!

Use mesh routers they are better at spreading signal that the normal routers

@network-from-home

Ай бұрын

@Mitche23 mesh routers are definitely a good alternative if you have a large home or multiple levels

Signals are sent out the broad side of the antenna, not the tip. Angle it so the broad side of the antenna is aimed in the direction you need wifi. For most people, that'll be straight up and down just like the click bait thumbnail is claiming to be incorrect. Saved you 10 long minutes of wasted time. Dislike.

Could have been explained in half the time. 👍

@trueNeogenian using a speed test might be less reliable because there could be other factors at play that are affecting your WiFi speed (time of day, current strain on the internet service provider in the area, etc. The strength of signal is the best indicator when it comes to maximizing the WiFi signal that your device is getting.

@AdamH7

Nah you want to use a wi-fi analyzer that tells you the signal strength in -db.

All talk, no proof. I've tested this myself and found that straight up is best. It was on a DIR-870 with 2x in the back and 2x on the sides. Didn't matter how many I tilted and which way they pointed... straight up was best. So, you need to prove what you're saying instead of just saying it, imo.

Absolute nonsense, just tried it to prove your theory incorrect. With antennas all upright I get -53dB on s laptop and phone 2 floors away. With them angled and even at random positions it goes to -68dB, so moving the aerials to vertical as they should be gives me a 100+ times stronger signal.

@oh2023-cj9if thank you for the feedback. In my video, I can't guarantee that everyone's WiFi signal strength will improve by changing the antenna positions; the construction and layout of your home (and the items in it) can all have an affect on the signal strength. This video was simply meant to provide an overview of how WiFi antennas work, and to provide some basic troubleshooting steps if someone is experiencing a poor WiFi signal. I will also add that both -53dB and -68dB are considered very good WiFi signals, at least by some standards: www.metageek.com/training/resources/wifi-signal-strength-basics/. Thanks again!

I watched your video. Set up my router exactly how you explained. My signal to every corner of my house improved at least 40%. (Prev : 40%, Now : 80%) My PC is now gaining sufficient signal even for 5 Ghz band, and I'm getting 99.99% speed and connectivity of my connection plan.
