It’s already summer, and Wi-Fi becomes in many cases one of the great protagonists of this season of the year. It is a time when we can enjoy a little more free time, thanks mainly to the summer holidays, and we also find that we have more daylight hours, which encourages us to be more active and do more things.
with good weather too we make the most of the gardens and, in general, any outdoor area of our home. Whether you are lucky enough to have a garden with a swimming pool, or if you only have a small terrace to have a drink al fresco, the important thing is that in the end you can enjoy the moment, and I am sure that for this you will want your Wi- Fi works without problems.
We are aware of the importance of Wi-Fi in summer, and that many times it does not work well outdoors. That is why we wanted to share this article with you, where we are going to give you three tips that will help you to have your wireless network ready to enjoy a round summer, and in a simple way and without having to make a large investment.
1.-Wi-Fi repeaters and PLCs, your allies for the summer
One of the main reasons a Wi-Fi connection may not work well outdoors is distance. As most of our readers will know, these types of connections have a limited range, and when we go over that limit it will start to malfunction until it reaches the point where we will no longer receive the signal.
There are many possible solutions, we could wire and place an access point, for example, but without a doubt the simplest, fastest and most efficient in terms of cost-performance would be place a Wi-Fi repeateror in case this is not feasible due to the distance from the router we could pull a PLC
The first would be ideal for cases in which the router signal reaches an area close to the garden or outdoor area where we want to reach, and in that area we must place the repeater. PLC would be the best choice for cases where the distance to the router is so great that we cannot reach the garden with it, because we must place it very far from this area so that it can link well with the router.
2.-Protect your network of friends from foreign
Security is always important, but when we talk about Wi-Fi networks and summer it is even more so. At this time of year we live more outdoors, and we take our wireless connection to outdoor spaces that they remain in the background at other times of the year.
By extending the sign to the garden It is very likely that it will also reach the street, and with this we are giving the opportunity to the friends of the alien to connect to it. To avoid this, it is important to follow a series of basic security guidelines that will help us keep our Wi-Fi protected.
Relax, it is not necessary to go into complicated configurations because, in the end, you are not going to run into any expert capable of breaking a network with a strong password in minutes, that only happens in movies. Jokes aside, it is recommended that change the password to a secure one and? disable the SSID, that is, that you stop showing the network name publicly.
3.-Take care of visitors as they deserve
Summer is also one of the times of the year when we socialize the most, and it is normal to receive more visits than in the rest of the year. Sharing Wi-Fi with those visitors has become an important part of any good host’s hospitality, but this can end up being a bit complicated if we have reinforced the security of our network by following the previous steps.
Luckily, we have it very easy to not have to give up security and easily share our Wi-Fi connection. Enough with create a guest network, something that with FRITZ! We can do AVM in a very simple way, and we will be able to control at all times the resources that said network has available and the rest of its settings.

You just have to follow the indicated steps and that’s it. Remember that you can modify its parameters at any time from the router interface without any problem.
