How to Make wireless routers work more efficiently

With the development of China's routing industry, it also promotes the wide application of wireless routers. Here we mainly analyze how to make the work of wireless routers more efficient. With the gradual popularization of wireless Internet access, wireless routers are getting closer and closer to us.

Considering that a wireless router device is the core "Hub" in a wireless LAN, its working efficiency directly affects or even determines the operating performance of the entire Wireless LAN. In fact, this is also true, if the placement of a wireless router in a LAN is inappropriate, some workstations in the LAN may experience slow Internet access due to weak wireless signals, in severe cases, the Internet connection is still unavailable. Obviously, the placement of wireless routers is crucial for the overall performance of the LAN.

So how should we place wireless routers to ensure that wireless signals can effectively cover every workstation in the LAN so that they can always access wireless networks efficiently? In fact, with the help of the external force tool NetStumbler, we can easily find the ideal location of the wireless router, so that the signal of the wireless router can effectively cover every corner of the LAN.

Understanding external NetStumbler tools

NetStumbler is a widely used free version of Wireless Network Management Program, through which we can easily and quickly find nearby wireless access points, we can use the auto-search Wireless Access Point function of this program to determine the signal transmission strength of the wireless router device at a certain position, so as to find the optimal position of the wireless router in the LAN, so that all workstations in the LAN can achieve efficient wireless access. In addition to finding only wireless access points, NetStumbler can also test the SSID of the network device that emits wireless signals and the MAC address of the NIC connected to these wireless devices, it can even identify information of some wireless device manufacturers.

To use the signal transmission strength judgment function of the NetStumbler tool to find the optimal position of the wireless router, we need to first download the NetStumbler installer from the Internet to the laptop, then install the wireless network manager according to the default settings in the Wizard window.

After the program is installed, we can enable the wireless network card installed in the laptop to search for wireless access points in the LAN. When we need to find the optimal placement of the wireless router in the LAN, we only need to take the laptop with the NetStumbler program installed in the wireless LAN to go around everywhere, you can easily find out which position in the LAN is the signal blind zone and which position is the normal signal area. Finally, adjust the location of the wireless router according to the test results, this ensures that the wireless router is in the optimal position.

Find the strongest signal receiving position

Now, the author uses the NetStumbler program to find out how many wireless signals exist in the unit Wireless LAN, and analyzes the strength of these wireless signals one by one, find the most suitable location for wireless routers in the LAN to ensure the optimal performance.

When looking for wireless signal points in the LAN, We can first download the NetStumbler program to a laptop, and install the wireless network card device in the laptop in the correct way, once the wireless network card is installed, we start to install the NetStumbler program as usual. During the installation process, when the wizard window displays the interface shown in. We must select the "Complete" option for full installation. Then the system will automatically install the sound prompt and automatically display the NetStumbler shortcut in the system desktop and the "Start" menu. After the NetStumbler program is successfully installed, you can directly double-click the corresponding program shortcut icon on the system desktop, so that the NetStumbler program can automatically start and search for wireless signals in the LAN.
