Wireless Network Trouble Shooting: Battle of the Wireless Neighbor

 

Is your neighborhood have too many wireless networks which interfere with yours''

One of the most common complaints is that every time a neighbor puts up a wireless network your wireless network is slower or you get booted off.

The easiest thing you can due is change your channel on your wireless router. Almost all wireless networks have default channel of 6. Change your wireless network channel to something try channel 11 first.

If you have the money purchases a MIMO wireless router. This will overpower one radio access points.

The most common complaint about wireless interference is dropped packets. MIMO wireless routers let you transfer and receive at twice the rate because they have two transmitters and two receivers...or two radios!! This gives you a better quality signal and better coverage.

Next tip - Placement of your wireless router is the key. If you have a wireless router in one of your edge bedrooms half you signal is being sent out of your house with the default dipole antennas.

If you are going to keep your default Di-pole antennas then you need place your router in the middle of your house away from large metal objects.

Next, you can get rid of those cheap rubber duck antennas and make your purchase directional antennas. Directional antennas will focus your wireless signal in one direction.

If you purchase a directional antenna you need to change your transmit and receive antenna to the same. Or purchase a wireless antenna with diversity meaning two TNC connectors.

You might want to think about purchasing another wireless adapter. PCMICA wireless cards often are subject to damage.

Changing your wireless transmit power - You can change your wireless transmit power but it comes with a price. First this will cause your wireless router to work harder and heat up more thus reducing your wireless routers life span. Their is no need to have transmit power over 70mw for a home or small office. You can crank up your transmit power but remember more of you signal will bleed out into the street giving war drivers another target.

You will know if you are having interference if you are constantly connecting and reconnecting to your wireless network. The first thing to try is to try and change the channel to 2 or 11 or what ever works. Next you can make or purchase a wireless directional antenna to focus your signal where you need it. Third Move your wireless router to another place in your home. Fourth boosting your wireless signals transmit power has it's benefits and it's consequences, you could fry your wireless router and it could give you hacker issues. Finally if all else fails go out and purchase a new wireless MIMO router.
