BEST METHOD TO INCREASE WIRELESS
INTERNET SPEED IN WINDOWS
If you can do this, position your wireless router, wireless modem router, or wireless access point (WAP) in a central location in your home or office. If your wireless router, modem router, or access point is against an outside wall of your home or office, the signal will be weak on the other side of your home or office. If your router is on the first floor and your computer, laptop, or device is on the second floor, put the router high on a shelf to put it closer to your device
Metal objects, walls, and floors interfere with your router's wireless signals. The closer your router is to these objects, the more severe the interference is, and the weaker your connection will be.
Router antennas are usually omnidirectional. This means that they broadcast in all directions around the router. If your router is near an outside wall, half of the wireless signals are going outside your home or office, and lots of your router's power is wasted. Most routers don't let you increase the power output, but you can make better use of the power it has. If your router's antenna is removable, you can upgrade to a high-gain antenna that focuses the wireless signals in only one direction. Then you can aim the signal in the direction you need it most.
Important Devices that have built-in wireless networking capability typically have excellent antennas, so you don't need to upgrade their network adapters. The following tips are for portable computers that do not have built-in wireless networking.
Wireless network signals must be sent both to and from your computer. Sometimes your router can broadcast strongly enough to reach your computer, but your computer can't send signals back to your router. To improve this, replace your laptop's PC card-based wireless network adapter with a USB wireless network adapter that uses an external antenna.
Wireless repeaters extend your wireless network range without requiring you to add any wiring. Just put the wireless repeater halfway between your wireless router, modem router, or access point and your computer, and you can instantly increase your wireless signal strength.
Router manufacturers regularly offer free updates to their routers. Sometimes, these updates increase performance. To receive the latest firmware updates for your router, visit your router manufacturer's website.
Similarly, network adapter vendors occasionally update the software, or driver, that Windows uses to communicate with your network adapter. These updates typically improve performance and reliability. To receive these driver updates, follow the instructions for your operating system.
