Strong internet – as you increase the WLAN range to 500 meters

WLAN repeater ensure stronger internet

The WLAN range can be increased to 500 meters by using repealers.

• WLAN repeaters are devices that absorb the WLAN signal of the primary router and send it further. This allows larger ranges to be covered.
• The repeater are connected to sockets and, depending on the model, have different frequency volumes (2.4 GHz/5 GHz). To enable a trouble-free connection, dual band repeater in combination with dual band routers are recommended.
• Ideally, the repeater also have crossband repeating. The function enables the frequency band to be automatic, depending on the customers and the current connection strength. This optimizes the WLAN connection on larger ranges.
• Place the repeater so that an obstacle -free transmission is possible. Especially walls, pipes and other buildings restrict the connection, which can make several repeater possible. Depending on the signal strength, you have to try out different positions for optimal coverage.
• There are repeater for the outdoor area that are weatherproof and thus permanently supply them with WLAN. Pay attention to the protection types, for example the IP67.
• To enable a WLAN range of 500 meters, you will probably have to prioritize the 2.4 GHz band. It does not offer so high bandwidths, but it is much more stable at larger distances.

Powerline systems create larger WLAN reach

If you want to increase the WLAN range in larger buildings, a powerline system is ideal.

• Powerline adapter with integrated WiFi are connected to the router via sockets. You get bandwidth at LAN speed and forward it to the desired recipients via WLAN.
• Since powerline systems do not have a bandwidth loss due to obstacles such as walls, this variant is ideal for use in buildings. It is even possible to use the system on the entire property via suitable outdoor models.
• On average, the adapters support a range of 300 to 400 meters before another adapter has to be inserted. As a result, the desired route can already be supplied with WLAN through two adapters.
• Depending on the situation, a Powerline system is better for range reinforcement than WLAN amplifiers. If you also have to bridge several floors, Powerline adapters are also useful.
