How to find the perfect place for a Wi-Fi router inside my apartment

Don't you ever wonder how to determine the most ideal place in the apartment where your Wi-Fi router can equally efficiently distribute wireless Internet in every room without loss of signal?

Student-physicist Jason Cole of the United States, too, have wondered this question. But instead of running around the house with the router in hand and measure the signal in every particular point, he approached the matter very seriously and used their knowledge in physics. Specifically to solve the problem Jason has used the Helmholtz equation for the two-dimensional space, we calculated and visualized the propagation of radio waves in their apartment. All this, of course, was reflecting and the absorbing coefficients of walls of the apartment.

The study Jason immediately became visible so-called "dead zones" in his apartment, in which there is the least strong Wi-Fi signal. While moving the radio source within the application, he was able to determine where to most effectively place it inside your home. Your experiment student-physicist described in detail in a personal blog. There you will be able to familiarize yourself with its calculations and methods.













The perfect place was the point in the middle of the apartment. Placing the router in the bedroom and the kitchen was fraught with emergence of several "dead zones" almost without Internet. But, of course, here the role of planning housing and the number of doorways through which the radio signal gets straight into the next room without losses in the walls. If the apartment has an intricate plan to calculate the best location for the router would be much more complicated.



Where is your Wi-Fi router, dear readers? And does your apartment are places where the signal is virtually inaccessible?
