The single most effective way to boost your Wi-Fi signal is proper router placement. Position your router in a central location within your house, elevating it off the floor to chest height or higher. Avoid placing it near metal objects, concrete walls, or electronic devices that might interfe...
Table 33-9 Three moves to quickly improve the Wi-Fi speed No. Handling Measure Remarks 1 Remove obstacles or interference sources around APs to keep them away from walls, microwave ovens, and metal objects. If the AP is connected to external Wi-Fi antennas, adjust the antenna a...
When compared to WiFi, ethernet is faster. It doesn't go through the fight that WiFi does with all the concrete walls and competing for WiFi signals and so on. Ethernet is excellent and it's great if you have it. But what to do if your device lacks an Ethernet port? The answer is...
There are two other quick things you can do to get the most out of your satellite connection when speed really matters: skip Wi-Fi and connect a single device at a time. The fastest internet connection you can get is with an ethernet cable, when you plug your computer directly into the...
I even considered digging up an old Ethernet cable and plugging it into the back of my cable modem but then that’s not WiFi anymore. Oh, and my iPad doesn’t have an Ethernet port. Does yours? Exactly. So I was forced to actually take the time to track down the culprit in the ...
If you have a large space that can’t be covered with a single powerful router, or there is no possibility to install a router centrally, or you can’t run Ethernet cables throughout the space, or maybe the walls are made of thick material that causes interference, the good solution woul...
Depending on how far your router is from your ONT, you may need to contact Verizon to have this connection established for you. They will drill holes in your walls and run the cable throughout your house. In rare cases, your router is close enough to your ONT that you can do it yours...
Other useful things to pack: Clif Bars or other shelf-stable sustenance, in case you don’t get around to eating lunch; a reusable water bottle; a separate source of bandwidth (either a phone with a generous mobile-hotspot data allocation or a WiFi hotspot); an Ethernet adapter if your ...
1Gbps but slower than 2Gbps. So, it's 1.5Gbps, give or take a couple hundred megabits per second, and it's not speedy enough to qualify asMulti-Gig Ethernetor multi-Gigabit. Intel coined the term to call its Wi-Fi 6E client chips—theAX210and AX211—to describe their real-world ...
this time for a story about Carnegie Mellon researchers who used an AI engine called DensePose to generate body shapes from Wi-Fi signals. (The accuracy was far from perfect.) Radar that senses people through walls has existed for years; it is used by SWAT teams, border patrol, search-and...
