5 Simple tips to boost your home Wi-Fi




To some, WI-FI is a requirement as basic as electricity and running water. Most internet service providers install a basic modem/router that stays untouched in a corner. Here we show you some easy ways to solve common Wi-Fi problems at your home.



BETTER PLACEMENT: KEEP IT AT THE CENTRE OF THE HOUSE:

This is one of the easiest ways to improve to keep their routers in a corner of the house. While this does minimize more clutter, it also limits your Wi-Fi range because the Wi-Fi signal spreads omni-directionally. The ideal place to keep a router is in the center of your house so that it provides an even coverage across the home. Try and place the WI-FI router at high-level or higher - this further improves the signal strength.



LIMIT THE NUMBER OF DEVICES:

Have friends and family coming over for a party and you don't want to share your primary Wi-Fi password? Just enable a guest network on your router with a separate, simpler password. Login to your routers admin settings and under the wireless tab, you will see an option of guest network. You can give a name to your network. You can give a name to your network, set a password and even limit the number of users who can connect to the network simultaneously. Moreover, some routers also give you the option to block and remove a connected device if you feel that it is hogging up all the bandwidth.



CHANGE YOUR WI-FI PASSWORD REGULARLY:



Have you ever changed your WI-FI password? It might still be the same basic password from when it was first installed. You might have also shared the password with friends during party and your neighbors could have the password too. This mean someone could be stealing your Wi-Fi. The best way to avoid this is to change your Wi-Fi password regularly - once in six months should be good enough for most users.





REPEATERS MEAN BETTER RANGE:

Unless you live in a studio apartment, the router provided by your ISP will not be able to provide coverage through the house. You can swap out the existing router for a more powerful one but a simpler way is to use a repeater. This takes the WI-FI signal from your router and repeater. This takes the WI-FI signal from your router and repeats it to improve coverage area.



The WPS method is simplest way to connect a repeater. Enable WPS on the router and press the WPS button on the repeater. Everything is automatically configured in just a minute. If you have an old router lying around, you may also be able to use it as a repeater.





TRY USING USB ROUTER:

Take a look at the ports on your router. If you see a USB port, your router can do more than just broadcast a WI-FI signal. Depending on your router model, the USB port can be used to connect an external hard drive or to connect a printer.

Garbage Collection Monitoring Using QR Code-Based Mobile Application Tracing the Garbage Collection Vehicles

  Abstract This paper presents a system for monitoring garbage collection using a mobile application that tracks garbage collection vehicles through QR codes. The system aims to improve waste management efficiency by providing real-time information on vehicle locations and collection routes. We describe the design and implementation of the mobile application, QR code generation and scanning, and the backend system for data processing and analysis. Results show that the system can effectively track garbage collection vehicles and provide useful insights for optimizing collection routes and schedules. Introduction Efficient garbage collection is crucial for maintaining clean and healthy urban environments. However, many cities struggle with inefficient waste management systems due to poor tracking and monitoring of collection vehicles. This paper proposes a solution using QR codes and a mobile application to track and monitor garbage collection vehicles in real-time. Methodology The ...

Education is a common term which should reach every students in the nation. If there are opportunities for pursuing medical on interest of individuals, then public organization should support for the common individuals.
