As an important device to connect to the network, the location of the router directly affects our network speed.
Today, let's take a look at how to cleverly place routers to make our network fly fast.
First of all, let's clarify a concept:
How the router's signal travels. The way the signal propagates through a router is radio waves, and radio waves have one characteristic:Reflection, refraction, and scattering occur when an obstacle is encountered.
Therefore, when we place the router, we should try to avoid letting it encounter too many obstacles to reduce the loss of signal.
Next, let's list a few key points to place your router:
1.Central Location:The router should be placed in the center of the room to maximize signal coverage throughout the room. If the room is large, consider using a signal amplifier or multiple routers for networking.
2.High Places:The router should be placed in a high place to reduce contact with the ground or wall and reduce signal loss. But don't place the router near metal objects, as metal will block the signal.
3.No distractions:The router should be kept away from other electronic devices such as televisions, microwave ovens, refrigerators, etc., as these devices emit electromagnetic waves that interfere with the router's signals.
4.Unobstructed:The router should be kept away from being placed in a cabinet or behind a curtain near obstructions to reduce signal reflection and scattering.
5.The distance is moderate:The distance between the router and the computer and other equipment should be moderate, not too far and not too close. Too far away will cause signal attenuation, and too close may cause electromagnetic waves to radiate to the human body.
To sum up, the clever placement of routers can give us a significant increase in the speed of our network. However, it should be noted that the placement of routers is only one aspect of improving network speed, and we should also pay attention to factors such as the service quality of network service providers and the performance of the router itself. Only by taking these factors into account can we truly enjoy a blazing-fast network experience.
