Anyone with an Internet connection have a home network, after all, every Internet provider delivers with a wireless router. Yet that is only the beginning. Internet you often enter the meter and your modem should be placed on a stable internet connection as close as possible to this ISRA- or subscriber-acquisition point. Nowadays almost always combined modem to the wireless router in one device. Useful for ISPs and for you when connecting, because you are using a single device directly online wirelessly. Unfortunately, the locked cupboard is not exactly the best place for your router. A wifi router emits the wifi signal in principle around the router, so it is best if your wireless router as centrally as possible in your home state. In practice, unfortunately, move your router tricky. Especially for ADSL, VDSL and cable internet, the modem / router that your provider gets as close as possible to the terminal. Do you have fiber optic internet, it is sometimes possible to the router that you get from your provider more central locations. Between the wireless router that you get from your provider and fiberglass fiber termination point at the meter box is a standard network cable. Which you can obviously make more, whether through cabling that you've neatly concealed in your wall for instance. Are you still tied to keeping your wireless router in a bad spot? Then there are lucky enough solutions to distribute your (wireless) network so throughout your home. In this article you some scenarios thereby find solutions to expand your network. In frameworks are the various products described with their advantages and disadvantages. HeatmapAls you want to improve the coverage of your wireless network, you can not just add more equipment. Start by mapping the coverage of your wireless network. This is done using a heat map, a map that you can see how the coverage of your network throughout your home. You can create a heatmap with the program Heat Mapper. For this you need a laptop with Windows that you can walk around in your house. By walking around Heat Mapper can using a floor plan of your home to determine how it is with the coverage of your wireless network. So you have quick insight into what the weaknesses of your network and allows you to apply the right improvements. On our website you will find further explanations on how to create a heatmap.

Pull a network cable to the attic is generally difficult, while for a fixed PC and network want to have a network connection. A powerline adapter is the easiest solution, possibly in combination with wifi. Gaming on the bedroom children often want online gaming on the PC or console. Besides a good speed in online gaming is the connection latency (the 'ping') to be as low as possible. A wired network connection, supplemented with a wifi access point, really is preferred. Is it really not possible, then use a HomePlug AV2 powerline adapter, possibly in combination with a built-in Wi-Fi access point. Tvin network in your living room includes a network connection to your television for your media player, smart TVs, audio streamer and so on. Can a network connection is not real? When does the TV coaxial connector using an adapter MoCa (eg Hirschmann MOKA 32) serves as a fast and stable network connection. The second adapter place you in the meter and plug it into your router. Runs not coax from your living room to the cupboard? Then use a powerline adapter.

Ben often with the family in the living room at the same time doing all kinds of equipment, then a router with two AC-radios like to consider the ASUS RT-AC3200. The 2.4 GHz network and the access point usually provides enough coverage for the entire ground floor. AccesspointDe best way to expand the coverage of a wireless network, by adding an additional access point. You put the access point where you need extra coverage. The use of an access point, you do have a network connection is required at the place where you want to install it. You can use the same network name on a channel other than your primary router or you can choose a different network name. Both options have specific advantages. By another name are you sure you are connected to the correct access point. Basically switching devices with two access points with the same name on to the strongest access point, but it generates is not always good. A wifi access point you use to expand your WiFi coverage.

Use a flat 5 GHzIn play wifi problems even stronger than in a house because not only next to you, but also above and below your Wi-Fi networks operate. We recommend a 5 GHz access point in the living room on (802. 11n or 802. 11ac) to make sure you have enough wireless bandwidth. Perhaps it is possible to centrally adjust the router from the provider. Otherwise, a powerline adapter with built-in Wi-Fi access point is a good solution.

Wifi-repeat unit repeater or range extender is a box that you will be strengthened in the socket and then plug the Wi-Fi signal coverage and your problems are solved. It is not very intuitive, but you need a repeater just do not hang up that you have no network. A repeater is indeed an amplifier and therefore it should be a good enough signal to strengthen. So you have to figure out where you still have a good signal and the repeater hang there. A rule of thumb is roughly in the middle between where your router and that you no longer have coverage. A repeater hang you about halfway between your wireless network and where you need extra coverage.
