In an increasingly connected world, the internet has become essential to people's daily lives. Whether for work, study, entertainment, or simply staying informed, a fast and stable connection is essential. However, despite often subscribing to a good broadband plan, many users still suffer from slowness, frequent disconnections, and Wi-Fi signal instability.
The solution to these problems may lie in choosing the right router, as a good device is capable of distributing the internet signal efficiently to all connected devices, in addition to offering features that ensure a safer and more enjoyable online experience. But, in addition, it is important to pay attention to the position, always placing the routers in the center of the homes and in a high place for the best wave propagation.
“The router is the heart of your home or business’s Wi-Fi network, so there’s no point in getting the best internet plan if the router is bad or if it’s installed inappropriately. It is important, for example, that they are placed higher up since the waves from these devices radiate forward and downward, and this way it is easier to divert them from lower barriers, such as counters, tables and sofas”, explains Igor Coelho, IT manager at Grupo Fujioka.
It is also important to choose the right model to ensure a good online experience, taking into account factors such as the size of the environment, the number of connected devices, and the users' needs. To help you make the best decision when choosing a new router, the IT manager of Grupo Fujioka shares some key points to consider when selecting and using the router:
- Choose the correct frequency
Most modern routers offer two frequencies: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The 5 GHz frequency is ideal for those who need a faster and more stable connection for activities like streaming and online gaming. The 2.4 GHz one is better for longer distances and for passing through obstacles like walls.
- Invest in a router with advanced technology
Huawei routers available in the Fujioka group are equipped with advanced technologies, such as Wi-Fi 6, which offers higher speed and efficiency. With Wi-Fi 6, it is possible to connect more devices without compromising connection quality, essential for smart homes and modern offices.
- Regularly update your router's firmware
Keeping the router's firmware up to date is crucial to ensure the device's security and performance. In the case of Huawei devices, regular updates are made available, thereby fixing potential security vulnerabilities and optimizing the router's performance.
- Position the router correctly
The location where the router is installed can significantly affect the signal quality. It is recommended to place the router in a central and elevated location, away from metallic and electronic objects that may interfere with the signal. This ensures more uniform coverage and a stronger signal throughout the area.
