Hello everyone, I am the glacier of cold outside and hot inside, in modern life, wireless network has become an important part of our daily life. However, not every home can enjoy a seamless WiFi signal. Especially for those who live in spacious homes, they may experience the problem of weak wifi signal in areas such as bedrooms. In this case, even if you have broadband installed in your home, you may have to rely on mobile data to get online. In order to solve this problem, we can use wireless bridging to extend the coverage of the wifi signal.
Wireless bridging is a technology that amplifies a WiFi signal without the use of a network cable. It is suitable for a variety of scenarios, such as wanting to "borrow" a neighbor's WiFi signal, or providing a Wi-Fi connection to a desktop in your home. To achieve wireless bridging, we need to prepare some basic equipment and information: a router (whether new or old, can be used as a secondary router), a wifi signal that can be connected to the main router, and a wifi password for the main router.
Before we begin, we need to make sure that the secondary router (let's call Route B) is able to receive the wifi signal from the primary router (Route A). Next, we'll go into detail about the setup process for wireless bridging.
First of all, if we are using an old router, we need to restore it to factory settings. This is usually done by long-pressing the reset button on the router. After waiting for the router to restart, we need to connect to the wifi of route B and enter its management page. Here we can set a new wifi name and password, and at the same time select "Automatically get IP" as the way to surf the Internet.
Next, we need to fix the position of the WAN port. This step is necessary for routers that automatically switch WAN LAN. Then we may also need to manually set the IP range to avoid a conflict between the default gateways of the two routers.
In the settings of the router, we need to find the bridging function. This feature may be referred to as WDS, bridging, wireless bridging, trunking, or wireless trunking. In the bridging settings, we will search for and connect to the signal of the main router, enter the wifi password of the main router, and then complete the bridging process.
Finally, to ensure that the bridge is successful, we may need to restart the router. After the reboot, the device should be able to connect to the wifi of Route B and surf the internet normally.
Through the above steps, we can effectively expand the coverage of wifi signal and solve the problem of weak signal at home. However, the effectiveness of wireless bridging can be affected by a variety of factors, including distance between routers, obstacles, and interference from other wireless devices. Therefore, in practice, some adjustments may need to be made on a case-by-case basis.
For those who want more stable and efficient network coverage, the mesh networking system may be a better choice. Mesh networking not only provides a wider coverage but also ensures network stability and speed through the cooperation of multiple nodes. However, no matter which solution you choose, you should ensure that you comply with local laws and regulations and avoid infringing on other people's online resources.
Wireless bridging is a simple and effective technology that can help us solve the problem of incomplete wifi signal coverage at home. By following the above tutorials, even novices to network setup will be able to easily implement wireless bridging and enjoy a more convenient online life.
