Most people's attitude toward routers is basically ignored after the initial setup is completed, unless there is a problem with the network. In fact, adjusting router settings is not as difficult as you think, and can bring a lot of benefits. If you want to make your Wi-Fi faster and safer, the following adjustment methods are worth trying.
1. Change the channel
Changing the channel can avoid interference caused by other devices. Although today's routers already have stronger channel selection capabilities, you can also manually select them for speed and stability.
You can use free tools such as Acrylic Wi-Fi and Netgear Wi-Fi Analytics to see which channel is the busiest at home, and then change the channel used by the router to the best state.
2. Priority equipment
[
Some newer or higher-end routers on the market support the priority for specific applications or devices to allow them more bandwidth. This feature can make a difference when you play online games or play online videos.
This technique is commonly referred to as Qos or WMM. Different routers perform differently. You can prioritize the device according to your needs.
3. Switch to the maximum speed
Most routers can handle almost all existing Wi-Fi standards, such as the oldest 802.11a and the latest and fastest 802.11ac. If your home laptop and smartphone support the latest 802.11ac standard, then you can let the router focus on providing the fastest speed, rather than taking care of older devices.
4. Hide the SSID
The router broadcasts its own SSID (service set identifier) ​​by default so that new devices can quickly join its network. If you hide it, you can only manually enter the SSID to join the network. Although this is a bit of a hassle, it does bring a number of benefits, such as reducing the chance of snoring.
5. Upgrade the firmware
Like smartphones, router vendors also fix bugs and improve stability through firmware upgrades, so you should always check your router for new firmware. However, the firmware upgrade of the router is more complicated than the smart phone. You should follow the guidelines given by the manufacturer.
