How To Reduce The Blind Spots Of Wi-Fi Signal? You Must Know These Methods

Regarding reducing the blind spots of Wi-Fi signal, which is commonly referred to as Wi-Fi dead zones, let’s talk about this basic concept first. Many people often feel that some places of this signal are very strong, while others are particularly bad, and even have no signals directly. These places with no signals or weak signals are called Wi-Fi signal blind spots. Next, let’s talk about how to solve this problem in pieces:

The first point is to determine the location of the wireless router.

1. It is best to place a wireless router in the middle of the house. Think about it, if you put it in a corner, the signal has to run in several directions in a room, and the loss will be particularly large. For example, if you put the square room in the middle, the signal can radiate evenly from all directions; if you put it in the corner, you can only send a signal to one side, and the signal on the other side will naturally be weak.

2. It cannot be put together with other electrical appliances. The microwave oven and induction oven all have frequency when working, which interferes with Wi-Fi signals. The signals of our electrical appliances are all "electromagnetic wave army" fighting, which affects the strength and stability of the network signal. Let’s try to stay away from those appliances to ensure a refreshing environment for Wi-Fi.

Second, appropriately upgrade Wi-Fi devices.

1. A network device that can be used with Wi-Fi6. Compared with the past, the connection speed is really improved by a little bit, and it can connect multiple devices at the same time without lag. The same old routers in the space of about 10 square meters can kill two people and have strong signal connections; using Wi-Fi6 routers can allow more than 10 people to access the Internet normally at the same time without any pressure, and the signal is evenly slithered.

2. This choice of Mesh router is good. A large space is divided into many rooms, and the signal of a single router cannot be transmitted. However, multiple Mesh routers are distributed in spaces of appropriate size. Each "little boss" (i.e. each Mesh routing node) covers the position that can cover that area, and "joining" the transmission of consolidation signals to each other is stable, and there are no blind spots in each of our small rooms. For example, the 5-bedroom 1-living house is distributed with a Mesh router, and many small corners in the house are easily covered.

The third point is what is necessary to check and remove obstacles.

1. Materials like metals block too much signal. The room has large metal cabinets and iron products, which seriously weaken the signal. You can move the metal in the room with a dead corner on the side of the metal, try to change the space, and maybe the signal will come back, and then use the APP to detect and adjust what is convenient to check and debug the position and status as much as possible.

2. Thick walls also have a great blocking effect. For example, cement load-bearing walls have much stronger barrier power than ordinary gypsum walls. In our network layout plan, we must avoid excessive signals sent by wireless routers passing through these thick walls as much as possible. Therefore, when we adjust the layout plan, we must pass through the wall, we can aim the antenna as much as possible at the nearest straight channel through the wall. Adjusting these positions and angles will help reduce some of the loss signal.

Let’s go to the Q&A section, let’s talk about these details:

Q: Can the ordinary router I use improve signal blind spots by adjusting the frequency band?

Answer: You can try it. Ordinary routers have 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The 2.4GHz frequency band has strong penetration ability and transmits farther range, so you can choose to use it when encountering multiple walls; the 5GHz frequency band has a fast transmission speed but is easily blocked. Let’s try to adjust the room type and range. For example, a room with only one or two blocking objects, choose 5GHz to enjoy the speed; if there are many partition walls in the large yard, you have to choose the 2.4GHz frequency band to make the signal transmit further.

Q: Can installing a gain antenna on the router effectively reduce signal blind spots?

Answer: In most cases, it can increase strength and breadth. In some places, the original small antennas are not fully covered. Then let’s buy some large and larger gain multiples to improve the situation. But the larger the antenna, the higher the gain multiple, the stronger it will be. It depends on the internal structure of our house, if there are irregular partitions, it needs to be carefully adjusted and placed in the feasible location to meet the coverage of all places.

Q: Are there any common detection methods for signal strength?

Answer: Many apps online support mobile phones to use this kind of detection tool. Let’s install one on Wi-Fi first, then move the whole house to different locations and record the values ​​in the corners, and you can simply judge whether the signal is good or bad. For example, some system tools also allow computers to detect signal-related values; some router background configuration interfaces also clearly display wireless signal strength values. These tools detect it, so that we can intuitively understand the strength and other information at any time to adjust what to reduce dead corners.

In short, personal opinion, if you really want to eliminate the Wi-Fi blind spots at home, we must first spend time, energy, patiently adjust the position; secondly, the tool and equipment selection should be evaluated and updated according to the actual situation; when facing obstacles, you must analyze and optimize some operations to avoid some operations. If we are careful and careful, we will definitely say goodbye to the annoying situations of Wi-Fi signal blind spots at home.
