Signal strength and range of the latest wifi routers

I have a big house, with my router (BT home hub) in a wiring closet in a laundry room. The House is wired for ethernet and my current Wi - Fi, a Netgear WPN802, is placed at the best discreet place in the House. It is quite visible from everywhere in the House, the signal is quite low in some places.

If I replace it with a common Netgear router, switched to AP mode, I see a significant improvement in the strength of signal and the beach? Smartphones, tablets and streaming music boxes (Sonos) are the usual wifi customers.

In general, with one exception, hand-off is controlled by the device. On devices where the roaming aggressiveness can be adjusted, usually of the laptops and PC with Wi - Fi cards, it is sometimes possible to do hand-off low impact, but it is often neither transparent nor without interruption. I walk often so, personally, that this is not a matter of my house with my laptop streaming.

However, smartphones often do not have adjustable settings of roaming aggressiveness, but it is precisely the devices with which we want to transfer transparent. My old iPhone 5 was terrible to homelessness at home and at work.

If you install a second WAP in your House, don't expect transparent transfers. But, as I said, it's usually to the device.

I talked to an exception almost, and perhaps two. One is that there is a connection Wi - Fi standard 802.11r called which rudder hand fast shipment. I don't think that any consumer connection Wi - Fi gear to implement. Two is that Ubiquiti Networks offers an exclusive feature called discount zero where several Ubiquiti APs can work together in the hand-off a device between them. I don't know which of their products offer this feature, but my guess is that they are not cheap. The disadvantage of this feature is that all points of access must use the same channel Wi - Fi (they do all access points appear as an access point). It is not so good, if you have many Wi - Fi devices and need a lot of bandwidth. It is a compromise between speed and reliability.

I would recommend that you try one of the higher end Netgears with external antennas. If you are happy with your current router and only need an AP, consider the EX7000. It is marketed as a wireless extension, but it is also usable as a wired access point. It'll be cheaper than the R7000. But if you want to improve your router, then the R7000 is an excellent choice. I have one and it covers almost my entire House, 2 storeys.

  • iPhone 6 more issues activation and network on the latest iOS 9.3.2

    I have an iPhone 6 it is having problems with Activation and networking connectivity. I activated via iTunes and updated to the latest iOS 9.3.2 this morning. The phone remain active for a period of time and then come back to need activation.

    Using WiFi it is full bars but no connection. I'm typing this from my iPad on the same WiFi connection, so not the network. If I turn off WiFi and cell there still no connection. The phone will receive calls (even when stuck in the activation state) and can make calls after you have enabled from iTunes.  She was released a couple of times, but always the same question.

    I tried to erase and reload from iTunes to the top, but the restore function requires that find my iPhone service shut down on the phone and this step requires access to complete network.

    Try the following steps:

    • Try connecting your device to your computer and launch iTunes. Choose your device and click on summary > update.
    • If this does not work, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer and restart your computer.
    • When it restarts load iTunes and try to select your device and click on summary > update again.
    • If this does not work, it's time to try a restore. Press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons on your iPad or your iPhone until iTunes gives you the option to restore your device.
    • When it's over, you can restore a backup, and you should be good to go with 9.3 running iOS.
  • Yellow ' dot/star' on my internet (signal strength bar) icon in the systray.

    Original title: yellow dot on the wireless icon

    I have a yellow dot, or more specifically a yellow star on my internet (signal strength bar) icon in the systray. The weird part is that I seem to have a complete internet service. What is this and how do I get rid of him. (If all you have is a solution, it is fine, also.) The weird part is that, if the computer has served for a long time, she disappears.

    Thanks in advance.

    It's actually the first time I've seen this message. I saw several people who have said that they are opened in Acrobat or Reader - even asked to check - and only a screenshot has finally confirmed that they were not similar symptoms. Sorry to doubt, but this has been universal.

    So, in this case, I think that we can simply believe the message. Your version of Acrobat is very old. I don't know what are the characteristics in a file PDF can give this message.

  • Multiplexing of signals microvolt and conditioning of the right signals

    Hello

    We have 22 signals in our system. We must be able to measure any subset of these 22 signals. Usually, we carry out a number of measures IV 4points of separate devices on a SUT (sample to be analyzed). Two of the 22 signals may represent the pair of voltage measure 4-point IV, depending on how it was KNOWN is bonded. The level of the signal of tensions is in the 100s in the uV range and I need a precision as much as possible, so the unit or same sup - uV numbers. So far, we had all the 22 signals connected to a box (selfmade) acting as a distribution point, where a connector (SMB) is available for each signal. We then manually choose which two of the 22 that signals will be connected to a differential amplifier silent instrumentation (also selfbuilt), according to it was KNOWN patterns of liaison. The amplifier with a gain of typically 1000, returns the signal to an acquisition card. The current (excitation) is read separately.

    There is a problem with that. We need to manually switch the connectors in the distribution box to select a different device on it was KNOWN and flows to the amplifier. This is not good for a number of reasons that I can't go here.

    Therefore, I would like to multiplex these 22 signals to several outputs (for future scalability) who will be wired for the conditioning of signals. There is no manual connection/disconnection of these signals in this way. The first question is: can a matrix switch or multiplexer be used to route signals reliable microvolt? If so, then what kind: electromechanical, Reed relay or a transistor? Is the thermal EMF in the specifications of multiplexer/matrix relay just a lag, or is - that noise?

    The second question is: what card/signal acquisition solution (so no selfmade equipment and legacy) products OR only using the same line that the matrix/mux can reach 1uV accuracy of treatment? For us, offset offset is not a problem since we measure the device in 2 quadrants and later cancel it in the software but the noise (and get the accuracy) is important. Our amplifier has a background noise of 3nV/sqrtHz and a bandwidth of 15 kHz. The system to replace must be comparable. I have the choice between:

    • the SCXI based ones, instrumentation isolation (4ch) 1121 or 1122 amplifier modules (16 channels), with a ground noise that I calculate 20 and 30nV/sqrtHz respectively. They already have some functions of multiplexing btw.
    • the PXI 628 x with a background noise that I calculate through 10nV/sqrtHz
    • the PXI 446 x with the noise floor low 8nV/sqrtHz as stated in the technical data sheet

    Module 4-way universal 24-bit NI 9219, who works with 2 samples per second has a very low noise total, but at a very low sampling frequency and I can't consider comparable to what we have now. In addition, the system must be able to have a few kHz bandwidth for dynamic action in the future.

    Y at - it any other ideas?

  • the wireless signal coverage signal strength is good, but the problem with the health channel network overlap more

    Hello everyone

    In our project after the implementation of the wireless project

    I had done the survey for heatmaps wireless post

    I had signal strength is good for what - 67dbm for 2.4 & 5 ghz

    but the problem that i am facing with bad network health and overlapping of channel are more

    controller to change the autotunning for the channel for a floor for 2.4 and 5 ghz and some APS change us 2 emission power

    for a floor that we tuned we receive good channel and network health overlap report for combined 2.4 and 5 ghz

    but for the single report 2.4 and 5 ghz, report overlap health network and channel are not good

    postsurvey tools that I use for ekahau

    When I use the ekahau tool each time tool message upgarded last skip version or version

    for postsuvey basically for the heatmaps approved as

    1 power the signal should be-67 or de-65 dbm

    Support in this regard will be highly appreciated.

    Wait a second.  I saw this card before floor!

  • This download is available for a Tablet Asus Android and what is the latest version/version?

    I can't access my account of electricity because my Firefox version is earlier than 3.6.

    You can use the "On Firefox" button in preferences to check which version of Firefox you are using.

    If you try to access a web site that requires Firefox 3.6, you can try to install the Add-on "Can" and then go to the Firefox preferences and change the 'User Agent' option to 'desktop Firefox. This will make Firefox for Android pretending to be Firefox 3.6.

How can I get that back? I often secret several worksheets in PDF format and it is tedious to print them one at a time and then combine. I used to be able to select all the worksheets I wanted and combine them in one go.
