The device being used translates its data into a radio signal. It then transmits that via an antenna.<br><br>The Wi-Fi router receives that radio signal, and then decodes it. From there, it sends it to the internet using cables.&nbsp;<br><br>The device and the router therefore have to be within range of each other to send signals back and forth so that the router can then send the information out to the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Is_My_Wi-Fi_So_Bad_5_Common_Reasons_for_Poor_Wi-Fi\"><\/span><strong>Why Is My Wi-Fi So Bad?<\/strong> <strong>5 Common Reasons for Poor Wi-Fi<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon to struggle to get consumer tech like wireless security cameras and smartphones to maintain a decent signal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t usually indicate a problem with the device itself, but the environment it\u2019s contained in. Bad Wi-Fi is caused by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Dense building materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radio frequencies must penetrate all the surfaces around them. Bad Wi-Fi is most likely caused by dense building materials in the space, like brick and concrete.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walls made of drywall aren\u2019t nearly as difficult for wireless signals to pass through as thick concrete, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Too many devices connected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dozens of devices using the same network at the same time will cause it to become sluggish and, at peak hours, possibly completely unusable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This depends on the activity of the other devices and neighboring properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Demanding downloads and uploads<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The regular activity of other wireless devices will have a big impact on the overall \u2018strength\u2019 of the Wi-Fi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If two laptops are downloading 4K movies using the same Wi-Fi hub, other devices connected to the hub won\u2019t stand a chance of getting a slice of the Wi-Fi pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Distance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wi-Fi routers usually operate on a frequency of either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. 2.4GHz travels farther, but is slower, while 5GHz travels faster within a shorter range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern routers tend to have both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the range is too small for the space, the Wi-Fi will be prone to dropping out frequently, and devices may not be able to connect at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-fce325d79cb264102aa255c3f60cfd45\">Security camera models usually specify <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/do-security-cameras-work-with-5-ghz-wifi\/\">whether they use 2.4GHz or 5GHz<\/a> on the box.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-22f95c85385c9ce2fbea0ecd17094386\">For example, popular models like <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/alfredcam-reivew\/\">AlfredCam<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/wyze-cam-v3-review\/\">Wyze Cam v3<\/a> and Arlo Pro 4 are compatible with 2.4GHz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Other radio waves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There might be a limited number of devices connected to the router itself, but that doesn\u2019t mean interference isn\u2019t still occurring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bunch of wireless radio signals are likely to occupy the same space in a home, office, or public space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TV remotes, Bluetooth speakers, 4G mobile data from a phone\u2014anything that projects or receives wireless signals is contributing to interference to some degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-b16ad90c55d8e6f7358fd99454183436\">Recommended reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/how-do-i-extend-my-wifi-range-for-free\/\">How Do I Extend My Wi-Fi Range for Free? 5 Tips You Need to Know<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span><strong>FAQ<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I connect to Wi-Fi that\u2019s too far away?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Wi-Fi is too far away, there\u2019s little that can be done to the device trying to connect to it other than moving it closer. Increase the range of the router with a Wi-Fi extender. Add one to an area of the house that experiences a particularly unstable connection, and connect devices in that area to the extender rather than the actual router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I extend my wifi range with another access point?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To extend Wi-Fi range using another access point, install a Wi-Fi extender or another router. An extender is generally a more cost-effective solution, but some broadband companies may provide additional routers, so it\u2019s worth inquiring with the provider. Install either the router or extender in an area with poor signal, and then connect wireless devices in that area to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wireless range is rarely specified because it is subject to endless variables that can dramatically impact the real range users get out of wireless devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wi-Fi extenders are a great way to alleviate the strain on wireless routers and increase internet access throughout the home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are useful for helping keep security cameras within range in larger homes or homes subject to constant interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-45f4571d88a4881df14bd4e41d088cb3\">Recommended reading:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/alfred.camera\/blog\/how-do-wireless-cameras-work\/\">How Do Wireless Cameras Work?
