How to Extend Wi-Fi Range on the CHEAP 

I was just about to comment that, hahahhahahahha.

No google won’t tell you the answers you have to use Bing

If anyone finds the answer to this, please @ me

@@kutomore you can install a custom firmware on your router called openwrt or dd-wrt if suported, and them increase the transmission power,just don't increase it too much or you will destroy your router

I fried a router with this setting... It was cool to have signal across the street for a month...

Homeschoolers are not impressed

my old wifi literally disconnects once i move away 1m

@@realcartoongirl my new wifi is like that.

I had, like, no cell signal where I used to live. So I had to use my wifi to play Pokemon Go.

@@CaveyMoth I didn't have a data plan so I did the same thing

Cheapness is relative

It's made in China.

@@expertb6348 ya its totally relative, and yet channels like this use it a lot

His subtle tech flexing is kinda why I'm glad he's considering retirement

Linus id out of touch with reality. He keeps calling all kinds of shit cheap even tho it's not for most people.

Welcome to youtube

Increase guard interval and decrease channel size, but these settings are not always available on all Wifi routers.

Have him a thumbs down for that

@@jackkraken3888 this is my issue and i am having a hard time actually finding an answer. God love the vomment sections though! Lol i need yo extend about 60ft for security cameras, about $550 in so far and not even close to 60ft. Smh

@@krisg6258 Whenever possible you should used wired connections for security cameras though..WiFi based security cameras are vulnerable to certain types of attacks..

... Is love

Thanks. I was wondering about the cheap part

3:56 what you really need

Af amplifier are for Audio uses only? What do you mean @jisagi

@@Lukilukilukiluk Oh lol, I obviously mean RF Amplifier. Thanks for the headsup, fixed it in the original post as well

@real cartoon girl anime pfp

If you have a ham liscense isnt that completely legal?

God please don't use that powerline trash! It just spews out tons of RF interference!

So a parabolic reflector.

@Opecuted ur the dead meme frog wearing a dead meme wizard suit

Lmao this actually really mad me lol...

Who cares if it's technically illegal? Nobody will go after you unless you really jack up the power where you blank out all the other Wi-Fi networks.

hmmm borgir

powerline adapters are also great for getting ethernet around the house. Works well enough for me to work from home for over 8 hours/day.

instead mentions antennas??? Which probably is more complicated to hook up.

I'm pretty sure TQ has videos of those already. They've done a lot on WiFi.

Wifi repeaters extend range, but also slows down the speeds

And the repeaters cost around $15 or less. Even if they slow down the speed of the distant receiver, it's still better than a bad connection. Even better would be repeater on batteries, you can place anywhere as power sockets are most likely near floor level

Leaning against your router?

@Имперский Защитник it model is wr 941hp,totally overkill if it does what it claims

mexican: despacito wow Im steal yo wifi despactio mexican: no it encryped despacito

real cartoon girl what?

Oh my God imagine being in an apartment building with all those signals just overlapping. No one's wifi would work

u need mesh wifi lol, or one of those wifi repeaters/extender ofc one router cant cover an entire house

@@chee6916 do u know any good extender

@@bryant.p1215 same

We have a gig down and 300 up. I only get 300 Down one room over

@@chee6916 We have two routers, main one in the living room and access point router in my bros room, But I am in the middle of them with an extender so now I get 100mbps instead. Which is a scam tbh but it is what it is. If I ever need to download something big I would simply carry my laptop and download warzone lmao.

I don't think 1000 mW is for consumer grade Wi-Fi.

@@fungo6631 It is not enough for most average sized homes. It is part of an unreasonable set of FCC limitations where instead of being set by experts, it is set by the same type of politicians who set speed limits on roads. The rules largely do not make much sense since it is based on spectral density but then they have no problem with having multiple separate APs. Overall it is less efficient and wastes power since now where 1 AP with a higher transmit power would provide coverage, you end up with 2 separate APs , wherein order to get an extra watt worth of RF in your home, you end up with an extra 11-12 watts of power draw from needing to power a separate device with its own SOC, RAM, storage, etc. While portable client devices will always be limited in transmit power since there is a battery life cost to boosting it, Many APs have significantly higher transmit powers anyway since it is easier to get better receiver sensitivity, better antennas, and better RF front ends since there are fewer space and power constraints on the AP as compared to a mobile device. Thus a good AP will deal with a weaker signal from a client device very well, and the AP will transmit at a higher power, to counter any issues with poor receiver sensitivity of the client device.

@@Razor2048 You do realize that apartment buildings exist, do you? How would you like your neighbors Wi-Fi networks interfering with yours? And LOL, 11 watts? AP SoCs use maybe 1 watt at most with the puny ARM cores they use. Transmitters probably use a few hundred miliwatts.

@@fungo6631 Look up the the power draw data for many WiFi routers and APs. For example, for the Orbi system, search for "How much power does my Orbi WiFi System use?" (can't post links in youtube comments without getting hit with the filter. 10+ watts is fairly common for Netgear, Linksys, Asus, Ubiquiti, Motorola, Actiontech, and many others. Due to how the devices are made, you often end up with a lot of separate components designed to do hardware offloading, since most data is not handled by the SOC unless packet inspection is being done. Furthermore they often use switching ICs designed to handle 10+Gbps simultaneously which can be power hungry. Nearly all modern APs offer user controllable transmit power, where it can be reduced if needed. Many systems, especially mesh ones can also automatically reduce their transmit power based on effective RSSI. PS for major brands, Especially Netgear, and Asus, they have been using 1000mW on all upper mid range and higher device models.

@@Razor2048 But these are enterprise systems. Most people have routers that are gigabit at most and are way less advanced. Power wise, most people who know how to do it, would just crank the power to the max, causing a signal clusterfuck. As said, not all Americans live in suburbia. Imagine NYC being filled with more powerful Wi-Fi routers. In free space 30 dBm of power will cover a whole km of very good signal strength. I did the mafs so you don't have to. You get -70 dBm. The thermal noise floor of a 20 MHz channel is about -100.5 dBm. Under ideal conditions, with long distance protocol hacking, 10 km away you'll still get at least 20 Mbps of bandwidth. Which is overkill. TL;DR the FCC and its international counterparts should've added more bandwidth.

I showed you my lttstore.com pls respond

@@Mkrabs I showed you my sponsor, tunnelbear, please respond

Tf is going on here?

You can.. just check out what country that have the highest legal power.. and set the router to that country.... ... Is it legal... no.... Will the cops ever figure that out.. also no

Yes you can, this video was just absolute trash. E. G. You could just buy a simple 20 dollar access point and use the same ssid and password on it. Done. This vid was just another clickbait. But it works I guess

@@sven957 I had a $20 access point (repeater/accespoint combo).. it was total garbage... switched to a $80 one and it's like 100 times better

@@sven957 Which also halves your max speed and it's been awhile but I think doubles your ping as well, plus that's just assuming it doesn't totally suck, I got a $10 repeater about 5 years ago and it could push a whopping ~6mbps.

Yes you can get 800mW routers with AMPED WIRELESS: *www.ampedwireless.com/rta1900.html*

Behind or between the router and me ?!

@@BusAlexey yeah, I've done it and it works.

@@CrashBashL lol u said behind

Do you know how to do this?

The interference is spewed even on FM and TV bands! Powerline adapters are cancer and were a mistake.

Where did you buy it from ?

Well, technically, omnidirectional antennas really do emit radio frequencies in a big donut shape. There's a dead zone directly above the antenna, so that contributes to the hole in the donut.

@@CaveyMoth Your comment made me hungry.

@@Harry-ly8dv Donut go there
