When your laptop struggles to catch Wifi from a distance, experiencing disruptions and instability, this Software Tips article guides you on effective methods to boost Wifi reception for laptops running Windows 10.
1. Avoid using protective cases for your laptop
In Vietnam, users often use protective cases for their laptops, which is unnecessary and can cause various inconveniences. These cases can reduce Wifi connectivity and make laptops less heat-dissipating, leading to potential long-term issues.
2. Use Laptop in a well-ventilated environment to enhance Wifi reception effectiveness
As we know, Wifi signals have limited penetration, especially through concrete walls. Therefore, when using a laptop, choose locations close to the Wifi modem, with walls about 1m away from the laptop to maximize signal reception. If you are using it indoors, open the door to create more space for Wifi signals to transmit data effectively.
3. Use aluminum foil to direct Wifi signals to the laptop
One of the most effective ways to improve Wifi reception for a laptop is to enhance the signal range of the Wifi modem. To do this inexpensively, you can simply use aluminum foil.
How to: Use aluminum foil folded into an arc shape (you can use the shell of a Coca-Cola or Pepsi can, etc.) and place them on the signal-emitting antennas of the modem. Point the curve towards the direction you use the laptop, and immediately you will notice a strong Wifi signal and stable performance on your laptop.
However, this method may compromise aesthetics, so consider placing the modem in a discreet location!
4. Use a detachable Wifi connection module
Currently, there are various tools available on the market for external Wifi connections, such as USB Wifi, etc. If your laptop has a weak Wifi signal, consider using USB Wifi to extend the signal range. USB Wifi devices are relatively inexpensive but offer high performance. When choosing a USB Wifi, opt for models with antennas for better reception.
5. Upgrade Modem/ Wifi signal booster
On a laptop, the Wifi module is a fixed component, limiting our options. To address this issue at its root, consider upgrading or replacing Wifi sources (Modem, Router, etc.). If replacing the Modem or Router is too costly, you can opt for a Wifi signal booster and place it near your laptop.
In this article, Software Tricks has guided you on how to quickly and effectively enhance Wifi signal reception for laptops running Windows 10. Wishing you success!
