arvig How To ACE Your WiFi At Home
(And in your cabin, too!)
A WiFi network is like a tightly run ship. Every member of the crew—just like every piece of your network—has a job to do. YO HO!
CAPTAIN FOR A DAY!
Internet connection: The ship’s captain and the driver of the online
experience. The more bandwidth your connection provides, the more devices you
can have online and in use simultaneously. A bigger crew gets the work done
faster!
Devices: The crew members of your ship. Your connected technology relies
on picking up wireless signals—and thus, the speed you need—to connect to the
internet, upload, download and stream content.
Router: This is your crew’s quartermaster and the navigation expert. Like
the quartermaster in charge of steering and signals, your router directs data
between devices, and steers the devices in your home to the wider internet via
a connection to the modem. Most importantly, your router gathers, steers and
distributes WiFi signals to your devices.
LET YOUR ROUTER SHINE
Routers cast signals like light from a lighthouse. You want that light to
reach far and wide so that every device benefits from your bandwidth. But
sailing isn’t always smooth. Walls, floors, metal objects, mirrors, furniture
and nearby electronics can impact the signal.
That’s why router placement is key.
DIRECTION IS KEY
Optimize your signal and maximize your bandwidth! Navigate using the ACE method:
AWAY from interference causing electronics like microwaves, windows and other obstructions.
CENTRAL locations are ideal, allowing signals to reach as far throughout the house as possible.
ELEVATED off the floor. The strongest router signals spread out and down. Choose a shelf, table or other raised location. The higher, the better, in general.
