No matter why your reception is subpar, if you need to boost your Wi-Fi, you've got plenty of options that don't include dropping money on a new gadget.
不論為什麼你的收訊不佳,如果你需要加強你的無線網路,你有許多不包括灑錢買新工具的選擇。
When you first set up your Wi-Fi, it most likely defaulted to a certain channel, usually picking the least crowded, but not always. There are free tools online to use to check what channel your router is on and to see if there's a less crowded channel available.
當你第一次設定無線網路時,它最有可能會預先設定到某個頻道,通常選最少人用的,但不總是這樣。網路上有免費工具能用來檢查你的路由器連到哪個頻道,並看看有沒有比較少人連的頻道可用。
The problem might just be your router's tucked away in an entertainment center or other area of the house that don't offer much range. Everything from metal objects to walls to floors can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal, reducing your bars.
問題可能只是你的路由器被藏在遊戲間裡或是在房子裡沒有提供太多收訊範圍的地方。所有東西從金屬物品到牆壁到地板都可以干擾無線網路訊號,減少你的收訊格數。
Find a spot away from metal objects in the central location of the home. Get creative! Sometimes a bathroom or kitchen is the perfect place.
在房子中央位置找一個遠離金屬物品的地方。有創意點!有時浴室或廚房是很好的地方。
When things get dire, it's time to pop a cold one. Clean out a beer can. Pop off the pull tab and using a utility knife, slice off the bottom of the can. Do the same thing to the top, this time leaving about one inch attached right in front of the drinking hole. With a good pair of scissors, cut straight down the back of the can, so it opens up like a sheet of paper. The last step is to thread your router's antenna through the hole of the can, opening the rest of the can out wide.
當情況變急迫時,是時候開罐啤酒了。把一個啤酒罐清乾淨。拔掉拉環,然後用美工刀切掉罐子底部。在頂端也做相同的事,這次在瓶口正前方留下大約一英吋(約2.5公分)連著罐子。拿一把好用的剪刀,直直剪開罐子的背部,所以它會像張紙一樣展開。最後步驟是將路由器的天線穿過罐子的洞口,把罐子其他部分大大地展開。
Now enjoy two extra bars of connectivity.
現在享受多兩格的收訊吧。
