Wireless network , Many broadband user have use wireless network router on their working or home environment to implement cordless network technology. However, some of wireless user might encounter common wireless problem after setting up your wireless network like weak wireless signals or slow data transmission on wireless network.

Although most routers can provide a decent enough signal for general browsing, but if you are doing big downloads or transferring files between machines or streaming video to a TV then poor wireless signals can be a real pain. You could even end up with dead spots within your home.

Here is some of the wireless tips to improve wireless network at home or work if your current wireless network is perfroming adequately.

1. Turn on WEP or WPA encryption

All Wireless access point or router has come with encryption. Turn on the encryption scrambles messages sent over wireless networks so that they cannot be easily read by humans. Meanwhile, the identical encryption settings will share internally which avoid any wireless theft to use your wireless network bandwidth or information

2. Stick With the Same Vendor
Buying your APs and Wi-Fi cards from the same vendor increases your network performance and reduces compatibility issues, since not all vendors support the same features. Example D-link turbo mode features.

Turbo mode on wireless devices will double your network throughput, but it only works if all your cards come from the same vendor.

3.  Disable Wireless Broadcast

In Wi-Fi networking, the wireless access point or router typically broadcasts the network name (SSID) over the air at regular intervals. This feature was designed for businesses and mobile hotspots where Wi-Fi clients may roam in and out of range. In the home, this roaming feature is unnecessary, and it increases the likelihood someone will try to log in to your home network. Fortunately, most Wi-Fi access points allow the SSID broadcast feature to be disabled by the network administrator.

4. Position of Wireless Router

Wi-Fi signals normally reach to the exterior of a home. A small amount of signal leakage outdoors is not a problem, but the further this signal reaches, the easier it is for others to detect and exploit. Wi-Fi signals often reach through neighboring homes and into streets, for example. When installing a wireless home network, the position of the access point or router determines its reach. Try to position these devices near the center of the home rather than near windows to minimize leakage.

5. Reduce wireless interference.
If you have cordless phones or other wireless electronics in your home, your computer might not be able to “hear” your router over the noise from the other wireless devices. To quiet the noise, avoid wireless electronics that use the 2.4GHz frequency. Instead, look for cordless phones that use the 5.8GHz or 900MHz frequencies. Meanwhile, place the router out off noise environment to avoid noise population interferences the wireless signal.

Beside that, Microsoft have put together a great guide on how you can improve your wireless network. A clear guide and well worth reading even if you think your current wireless network is performing adequately.
