Common Mistakes About WiFi Connection at Home

1	The Old Fashion Connection.  As our Tech World rapidly grows, more and more new high-end gadgets and devices comes out with different variety of sophisticated and cool features that it comes with. But one of the most important thing that comes out quickly with its upgrade version are the network devices such as Wireless Router & Wireless Network Adapter on which the one that gives connection to every devices that has a wireless capability. For instance, you have a the latest smartphone which has the capacity of getting up to 300 MBps  WiFi Connection but you have a Wireless Router [G] which only has the capacity of giving away a maximum of 54 MBps speed to connect it with, then your smartphone will only get the maximum MBps capacity from the Wireless Router [G]. ("And you probably thought you got a defective smartphone.")
2	Con[firmware] Updated?  Now what? It's not the best or most latest.. I have a Wireless N 300Mbps router but it's not functioning properly and has a wireless connection lags. Every tech device most especially the sophisticated one and are always being used like wireless routers gets enhanced from its manufacturer (commonly known as firmware updates). Whereas this firmware serves as a patch that contains newly improve data for the router to work properly and to keep up with the latest devices that will connect to it. ("It's like giving it a tune up!) So if you are not familiar on how to check your router's firmware, ask a network technician for help.
3	Signal Out Of Range?  [While Playing Call of Duty Black Ops 3 on Playstation 4; Having Connection Issues] Wireless N 300MBps – Status [OK] Bandwidth [300MBps] Connection [OK]. But every few minutes, wireless connection keeps dropping and internet is very slow and there is only one device connected to the router. It's too much work to move those boxes to reach the router hidden at the very corner of that spooky room in the basement. (Not Good!) This is probably the most complicated and hard to solve yet the most common issue about WiFi connections. For example, most of us knows that at home, the local cable provider (e.g., Optimum, Verizon FIOS, Comcast, etc.) within the area is the one that provides the equipment needed for their service which includes the wireless router. Then, a field agent of the chosen provider will do the installation. Depending on the structure of your home whether it is an apartment or a regular house, often times those agents will not explain to you the importance of this issue nor will follow your instruction on  where to place the equipment and the router. After the installation, the agent leaves you with all the equipment stacked up all together in one corner which then also leaves you with a 2 feet ethernet cable wire that goes to your router. You have no choice but to place the router at the very corner because the cable wire that goes to it would not reach much longer to place it away from other devices or equipment that can produce EMI or Electromagnetic Interference and can cause Wireless Connection problems such as "Out of Range Signal". Therefore, the latency or the disruption of a wifi connection clearly depends mostly on the router's actual location and what kind of things surrounds it or placed nearby its location. ("Surely, your mom pays the cable and internet services but does not mean the router needs to be installed in her room. And with that being said, her  room is at the corner far across the other side of the house second floor... Good luck with Signal Hunting!")
4	6, 7, 8... or More than 10 Devices Connected  On a common small household wireless router can degrades the speed rating of what its normal and given bandwidth connection. If multiple devices are connected to one common router, it all shares the router's maximum speed rating. And also, depending on how each device's access or initiate its connection to the router based on changing the device setting to manual settings or automatic configuration. Typically, a router will have a normal wireless connection traffic flow on both sending and receiving ends for up to 1-4 connected devices to it. But it has been proven that a common household router can support up to 250 connected devices at the same time. Although, the router will encounter many issues as well as those 250 connected devices will have so much problem connecting to the internet, lag issues, Audio and Video Quality Loss when accessing Media Files using WiFI connections. Suppose, there are 100 automatically configured (it means the settings for each device is set to default) devices connected to a single Wireless N 300 MBps router at the same time. Each devices will then share a connection evenly from the 300 MBps which gives each of it a 3 MBps speed rating. In addition, having too many wireless devices connected at the same time will generates significant wireless interference. And by means of Radio Frequency Interference from each connected devices, degrades the network performance (due to frequent re-broadcasting of messages that fail to reach their destination) and eventually causes connection drops.
5	What does Weather Got to do with IT?  Weather condition does affect wireless connection abundantly most especially during Rainfall. Water droplets absorbs its frequency and partially block the signal. Even so, Wi-Fi signals are short range and usually deployed indoors. While rainfall can create interference -- in much the same way that it limits visibility for human eyes -- attenuation due to distance from the router is a much likelier culprit for low signal strength. Also, other major impact on outdoor WiFi infrastructure is wind damage to broadcast towers, falling trees and similar hazards. These secondary effects from extreme weather can be caused by wind storms, blizzards, hurricanes and tornadoes. Power outages caused by extreme weather interfere with outdoor WiFi infrastructure.
