internet signal long

[Khalid Abdulah alroogi]

Why is the internet signal so poor over long distances with the antenna? Is it due to the settings, or what? What is the solution? Also, in some locations, the signal doesn't reach at all. What are some successful solutions?

Long distance is subjective, how long are you meaning? 

Try these suggestions:

• Split the bands, give 2.4/5GHz different names and apply - you'll want to connect to 5GHz specifically for speeds
• Use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and change to that
• Experiment with the widths to see what gives better results
• Ensure it's in an elevated position - not on a metal surface
• Ensure there aren't any electrical / wireless devices e.g headphones etc within close proximity ~3 feet if possible
• Set the antennae to this position _ | | _
