when you are using wireless Internet, do you often encounter the problem of dropping the line? at this time you will be sure to call Telecom, Netcom customer service complaints, but sometimes the customer service sister will use sweet voice to tell you are not their problem, please check your own wireless router. This trouble is big, because the problem of wireless router is not like CPU, graphics card that can be a glance out, when the break even very people worried, well, now we teach you two ways to detect wireless router problem.
Method One: Test the wireless signal strength
When the wireless router is working properly, its wireless signal must be in the best state, then the wireless signal in a period of time to determine the strength of the wireless router has no problem and the quality of the pros and cons, where you can use Inssider test tools.
Inssider is a WiFi scanning tool that will display the captured wireless signal as a list, and you and your neighbor's wireless router signal will be listed here. The graphical display at the bottom is very intuitive, and the time Wave chart shows the signal strength (in db) of each wireless router over the last 5 minutes. Then there is a graph of each 2.4GHz and 5GHz channel, showing the strength of the existing signal and the width of the channel used by each wireless router.
Find your wireless router name, according to the corresponding color lines, to see its real-time trend. If this line is relatively flat, it shows that the current wireless router signal is relatively stable, there is no problem; if the wave shape is high and low, then the wireless signal is extremely unstable, wireless routers may also be faulty or poor quality.
Method Two: Test the wireless transmission rate
Data transmission rate is also a standard for the quality of wireless networks, which also reflects the wireless router has no problems. When the Web page is not open, online film cotton, game drop line problems, you may wish to use Qcheck test the wireless router data transmission rate.
Qcheck is a ping based network test software that sends data streams to TCP, UDP, IPX, and SPX networks to test the response time and data transfer rates of local networks, where we can apply them to wireless networks.
The test requires the use of two computers installed with wireless network card, connected to the same wireless router network, as the transmitter and receiver, and they need to install the running Qcheck software. Enter the IP address of the transmitter and receiver into the "from Endpoint 1" and "to Endpoint 2" section of the software. If you do not know the IP address of this computer, you can use the "ipconfig" command in the Windows run bar to view.
Click the "TCP" button, click the "Throughput" button in the Options section, and then click the "Run" button below to start simulating the data transfer and see the results later. Sending data from one computer through a wireless router to another, and then testing the elapsed time and calculating the transmission rate (in Mbps), the higher the test results, the better the result, if the results are low, only a few kbps, which indicates that the wireless router is having a problem. @ Network Bugs
