The distribution of computers in the company not only has to do with jobs and business hierarchies. We can seek maximum flexibility in a company in which there are several offices and where we are willing to install a network structured wire , often taking advantage of the false ceiling to distribute the cables.
However, when we want to install a wireless network , often we have problems with the network reach. If we place the computers at one end of the office where the signal is not well, the network speed suffers and things do not work as they should. What is the optimal distribution on a Wi-Fi network?
The distribution of the Wi-Fi network in your office
To understand the operation of wireless networks , unlike ADSL, we must understand that this is a wireless signal traveling through the air. Therefore, distance and obstacles can be harmful to function optimally. Some of the first things we should look at when we install a Wifi network through a router are as follows:
- What is the geometry of the building, plant or module in which we want to install the network? Are there partitions, concrete walls, corridors or any obstacle that could affect the distribution of the signal?
- At what points in the building will the Wifi network be used more frequently?
Once we clear these two aspects will be easier to choose the location where you are going to place computers , where they will put the router or if you are going to connect multiple router on the same network because the signal is not enough.
Ideally , it provided the buildings have a square or rectangular location , where it is known for sure which is the center of the plant. In this way, the router is placed in the center of the room and the distribution of the signal is equitable; There will be no computers whose Internet connection works faster than others.
In any case, the scope must always be taken into account; It is not the same a law office in an office of 80 m2 , where a WiFi wireless network can be interesting, for example a commercial ship with multiple floors and multiple nooks, where a more complicated network will need.
What happens is that this is not always possible and sometimes the same appearance of a building is more designed for a cable network for wireless , which will always be poorer and slower than a wired network. When we talk about areas of education or business environment, where there will be many dependencies, the most optimal for everyday work is structured UTP cabling , leaving the wireless network as a plus for customers, visitors or students to connect.
Do you have problems with your company's Wi-Fi connection? Where is the router located and where are the computers? Tell us what you want in the comments.
