How to Make Wireless Internet Faster

Wireless Internet has numerous advantages, but there are also certain limitations. For example,  your computer has to be within the range of wireless broadcasters like routers and WiFi hotspots. Sometimes your computer may be in the range of one of these broadcasters, known as “wireless access points”, but it may not be getting much of a signal which leads to slow Internet access. The key to making your wireless Internet faster is to improve the strength of the signal your laptop is receiving. Let us see how wireless Internet works and learn more about devices that are made to increase your wireless Internet signal strength and make your wireless Internet faster.

How Wireless Internet Works
Wireless Internet works by using a network of various devices that interact with each other to make an Internet connection. A modem is needed to connect to a telephone line in which Internet access has been activated by the Internet Service Provider. The modem is then connected to a router that broadcasts a wireless signal. The signal is then picked up by the network adapter or network interface card that is built into your laptop computer. Likewise, your network adapter can broadcast a signal to send information to other devices. The problem is that these devices must be in range of each other in order to communicate. Some devices are made to only broadcast or receive up to a specific distance, depending on the device’s capabilities. With any one of the following devices, you should be able to significantly increase your computer’s signal strength and make your wireless Internet faster.

The device is powerful and broadcasts a signal strong enough to cover every inch of your home, office, or conference hall.

The Wireless Garden Super Cantenna is a rather large device made of a long canister that sits on top of a small tripod. The device is capable of both transmitting and receiving wireless signals which gives you a number of options. For example, you can plug the device into your computer through the USB adapter or WiFi card and communicate with your own router or your neighbors’ routers by pointing the device in different directions. Alternatively, you can connect the device to your own router and point it in the direction where you computer is. This allows you to enjoy faster wireless Internet without having to keep the device plugged into your laptop.
