In an increasingly connected world, the internet has become essential for people's daily lives. Whether to work, study, have fun or simply stay informed, a fast and stable connection is essential. However, despite often purchasing a good broadband plan, many users still suffer from slowdowns, frequent drops and unstable Wi-Fi signal.
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 guarantee a safer and more pleasant online experience. But, in addition, it is important to pay attention to the position, always placing the routers in the center of the home and in a high place for the best wave propagation.
"The router is the heart of the Wi-Fi network in your home or business, so there is no point in hiring the best internet plan if the router is bad or if it is installed inappropriately. It is important, for example, that they be placed higher up as the waves from these equipment radiate forwards and downwards, and this way it is easier to divert them from lower barriers, such as counters, tables and sofas", explains Igor Coelho, information technology manager at the Fujioka Group.
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 user needs. To help you make the best decision when choosing a new router, the IT manager at Fujioka Group shares some key points to consider when choosing and using a 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 such as streaming and online gaming. The 2.4 GHz is better for longer distances and for crossing obstacles such as walls.
- Invest in a router with advanced technology
Huawei routers, available from the Fujioka group, are equipped with advanced technologies, such as Wi-Fi 6, which offers greater speed and efficiency. With Wi-Fi 6, you can connect more devices without compromising connection quality, essential for smart homes and modern offices.
- Regularly update your router firmware
Keeping your router's firmware up to date is crucial to ensuring the device's security and performance. In the case of Huawei devices, regular updates are available and thus correct possible security vulnerabilities, in addition to optimizing the router's performance.
- Position the router correctly
The location where the router is installed can significantly affect signal quality. It is recommended to place the router in a central and elevated location, away from metallic and electronic objects that could interfere with the signal. This ensures more uniform coverage and a stronger signal across the entire area.
