What kind of wi

As you probably know by now, wireless networks work better or worse based on distance. However, it is not the only factor influencing signal quality. The insulation of the walls, the ceramic and the glass are quite annoying when it comes to connecting two devices wirelessly, so we should always avoid them as much as possible, and create an imaginary straight line that does not go through trouble spots.. Confused? Let's clarify it by looking at what type of Wi-Fi you should use depending on the distance.

What type of Wi-Fi should I use? Distance and insulators

We all like to enjoy a perfect internet signal, without cuts. Unfortunately, however, wireless networks still leave a lot to be desired in this regard. At the moment, a wired connection is preferable to move data between devices. Ah! That you don't like cables? Well there are several solutions.

Depending on the distance, we can use one Wi-Fi device or another. The constant that you must apply to the entire infrastructure is always the same. Avoid having any of these items in the straight line from your router to your PC or wireless device:

• Kitchen and Bathrooms: Tile ceramic is a natural insulator, and decreases signal quality. Appliances: Refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves often interfere with Wi-Fi networks. It is better to keep the router away.

Now what Wi-Fi device do I use for each distance?

• 25 meters: a Wi-Fi amplifier or repeater. 50 meters: use a long-range router. 100 meters: Wi-Fi amplifier together with a long-range router. 250 meters: the best option is a Wi-Fi PLC. 500 meters: Wi-Fi PLC with a Wi-Fi amplifier. 1 kilometer: Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco Antenna M510 kilometers: Ubiquiti NanoBeam M2 antenna 30 kilometers: Ubiquiti Rocket M2 antenna.

Ubiquiti units are a little expensive, but really worth it. Now that you know what type of Wi-Fi you should use depending on the distance, you only have to mount the infrastructure, but remember that whenever possible, a wired installation will offer you more performance.
