The exact distance that a Wi-Fi signal is able to travel depends on several factors: The type of wireless router used: Higher power wireless routers have more range. However, keep in mind that the wireless connection between the router and client device is also limited by the radio of the client. The type of The higher the data rate, the shorter the instance covered. This means it provides the lowest speeds and throughput, but offers the best range.
By contrast, the latest The physical environment: Keep in mind that the path loss varies significantly, because the Wi-Fi signal has to penetrate a variety of materials like walls and floors that weaken the signal.
Solid items can greatly weaken communication signals. In the same way, obstructions like walls and doors can reduce the wireless signal, decreasing its range.
For example…. If you were outside with your router, you might find that you get the best performance up to feet. Fortunately, most homes are constructed internally with wood studs and drywall. The path loss for this type of construction is much less than with concrete. Think about the location of your router. If you could shoot an arrow between the router and the client device, how many walls, door and floors would it have to go through?
Centrally located routers have a shorter distance to all points within the house. Many people use range extenders and mech networks to improve their internet coverage outdoors. Those devices work great, but they have to be within a certain distance from the router and only cover a certain range. The AP can be mounted on a pole, j-pole, tripod, or any existing mast outside.
The antennas on the AP should have a clear line of sight with the area you want to have coverage in. To extend your internet connection, the AP needs to be wired with your router.
The wires are what help bypass the building material and obstacles that weaken or block the WiFi signal. Between your home router and the AP, a small PoE power over ethernet adapter is used to feed power and data to the AP. Ethernet cables are used to establish the connection between the router and AP. One end of the first cable connects to the ethernet port on the back of the router, and the other end connects to the LAN port on the adapter. The second cable connects to the AP and the PoE port on the adapter.
To officially initiate the connection between the router and the AP, the PoE adapter needs to be plugged into a wall outlet. Once connected, the antennas on the AP will broadcast the signal into the desired area. As a result, all devices Androids, iPhones, Macs, and tablets outside will be able to enjoy a reliable WiFi connection.
There are many instances in which people want to share their internet with another building - a barn, garage, a neighbor, or an office building. The building can be a few feet to a few miles away from the main structure, it just depends on the size of the property. Under perfect conditions, routers can cover areas up to - feet. Point to point long-range systems help stretch the internet connection between the two buildings.
A long-range WiFi antenna usually a directional WiFi antenna and a WiFi repeater are needed to pull in the signal from the building with the reliable internet connection - the source. Some models only need one antenna for the detached building, others require an additional antenna for the source building. Ideally, the antennas should be mounted on the roof of the buildings.
For optimal use, the antenna on the detached building needs to have a clear line of sight with the source building or the second antenna.
Inside the detached building, you will need a router that will be used to broadcast the wireless signal into the desired areas. Any router Netgear, Alfa, Linksys, Tp-Link, Asus, and Ubiquiti will work just fine, but you will want a router that will support the amount of data consumption and the number of users.
Ethernet cables establish the connection between the repeater and the router. Between the two devices, a PoE adapter is used to provide the repeater with power and data. A long ethernet cable connects the repeater to the adapter, and a smaller ethernet cord connects the adapter to the internet port on the back of the router. After the cables are connected, the PoE adapter and the router can be plugged into a wall outlet. Plugging in the adapter and the router won't automatically cause the internet to start flowing from one building to another.
The router in the detached building will need to be configured. The configuration process might differ based on where the equipment was purchased. After the configuration process, the antenna will pull in the signal from the source and the router will broadcast the signal inside the building for multiple users to enjoy.
Configure the Network 5. Final Notes. Connect to a Wi-Fi Access Point over great distances. Let's say your neighbor down the street mentioned that he doesn't mind you using his new wireless internet access point.
The neighbor got the newest, highest powered access point on the market, but unfortunately the signal still won't penetrate the walls of your house.
