What is signal strength?
Indicates the signal strength of a certain location within the wireless network coverage, which is the value of EIRP after a period of transmission path loss and obstacle attenuation. The weak signal strength problem encountered by the network planning refers to the weak RSSI, which does not meet the required value of the index, resulting in the wireless terminal receiving a very weak signal or even no signal.
What are the conditions for weak signal strength?
It is generally believed that less than -60dbM can be considered a weak signal. For example: -65dbM can be considered a weak signal.
What are the effects of weak signal strength?
1. The device cannot connect to the server, resulting in offline
2. The device connection is unstable, resulting in abnormal operation for some time
What is the solution for weak signal strength?
1. Adjust the position of the router: Make sure the router is placed in an open, unobstructed location, avoid placing it in a corner or cabinet. It is best to place the router in the center of the house to improve signal coverage.
2. Optimize router settings: Try to adjust the wireless channel of the router and choose a channel with less interference. Check and adjust the router's transmit power setting to ensure it is set to the maximum within the allowed range.
3. Update the router firmware: Check and update the router firmware regularly to ensure that the router is in optimal working condition.
4. Use a signal booster: If none of the above methods can solve the problem, you can consider using a signal booster (also known as a WiFi repeater or extender). These devices can receive the router's signal and amplify it before transmitting it, thereby expanding the signal's coverage.
5. Upgrade the router: If the router has been used for a long time or its performance has outgrown your needs, upgrading the router hardware may be the best option. New routers usually have stronger signal transmission capabilities and more advanced wireless technology, which can provide a better network connection experience.
