TechBytes 09: Fix your slow WiFi connection

WiFi is a wireless networking technology using 2.4GHz ultra high frequency and 5GHz super high frequency radio bands. This technology is excessively used by smart devices and computers. So when in a particular area a lot of WiFi signal is generated it creates a channel overlapping. WiFi has 13 usable channels in 2.4GHz frequency range with 3 of them operating as main channels. These are channel 1, 6 & 11. Channel overlapping is not a big problem with 5GHz WiFi routers due to having 165 channels, of them 25 operating as main channels. So for today, we are going to discuss how to solve this problem of channel overlapping.

WiFi 2.4Ghz Channels

Now the methodology will be to find a comparatively non-congested channel and set your WiFi router to use that channel. Let's find and analyze WiFi channels first.

Download following apps according to your operating system. Android - Windows

Now start the app and observe which channel is not that much congested.

Wifi Analyzer

Now let's see how to change the WiFi frequency channel settings on a WiFi router. I'm using a TP-Link WR841N router for demonstration purpose.

Open your web browser and go to http://192.168.0.1 or http://tplinkwifi.net/; type in your username and password. (Default- admin, admin)

Then navigate to the following section and select the un-congested channel you figured out from WiFi channel analyzer software.

WiFi Channel Settings

Click save and restart your router. Hope you'll have a more stable WiFi connection with low ping and interference with other WiFi access points now. Cheers!

Server! Sounds quite complicated and sophisticated, right? But do we know that any system that's capable of hosting some files could be called a file server? No? Let's see it ourselves today. We are going to create a file server through which files can be transferred across all the devices in a certain local area network. (If the appropriate ports are forwarded correctly, it can also work across wide area networks) This will definitely save us time and effort to transfer huge volume of data across systems without using long cables or pendrives every now and then. Let's download a small software named HFS from here and open it. When opened for the first time, Windows firewall can ask for permission. Check all the boxes and click on Allow access.
