Having a stable Internet connection, with good speed and quality is important. For example, you will need it when you go to watch streaming content on television. Also to download files, use the cloud or play online. Sometimes the coverage does not reach well and you have to pull WIFI repeater. Now, what happens when even with a repeater the network goes bad? We are going to give you some possible solutions to improve network connection and have Internet in other places in the home.
A Wi-Fi repeater connects directly to the router and emits a signal in the area where you place it. The problem is that, if the router is very far away, that signal can be very weak. It may not be enough to have a stable connection and you will notice difficulties when you try to connect a device.
Improve wireless connection
Maybe you want your Wi-Fi to reach where you have the television on, for example, and be able to watch your favorite series and movies online without interruptions. You install a repeater so that it reaches better, but you realize that the problem continues or has practically not improved at all. You can use alternatives.
PLC devices
One of those alternatives are PLC devices. They are especially useful when we need to carry the connection from one place to another in the home and the distance is considerable. If you have the router several dozen meters away, a repeater may not be enough. On the other hand, these devices do.
How do they work? They usually come in a pack of two devices. You connect one of them to the router and an electrical outlet, while you are going to place the other in another outlet, in another area of the home. In this way, the connection will go through the electrical wiring and will be more stable than if you connected a device via Wi-Fi.
From there, you will be able to connect your computer, television, mobile phone or whatever to that PLC. There are models that allow you to connect it both via Wi-Fi and also via a network cable. You will be able to choose the option that interests you most.
Mesh Systems
But you have a second alternative that can also be very useful when a Wi-Fi repeater is not enough. They are Mesh systems. Are composed of various devices or satellites that you can distribute throughout your home and they will cover an area of several hundred square meters. There are models with two satellites, three, four or more.
Unlike a repeater, it does not connect directly to the router. What these devices do is connect to each other. This way, the signal can reach further and you will not have as many problems to connect devices that may be at a greater distance from the router.
As in the case of PLCs, you will also find models that emit a Wi-Fi signal and have the option for us to connect devices via Gigabit Ethernet cable. You will be able to choose the alternative that best suits you in your case.
Therefore, as you can see, you can take the Internet connection from one place to another in the home. Beyond limiting yourself to a Wi-Fi repeater, you will also be able to use the option of PLC devices and Mesh systems that will help you have good coverage in your home and not have problems.
