Does changing where your router's antenna point give you faster WIFI speed?

If someone cant find the app is called Wifi Analyser By Keuwlsoft

Dude can you test 5dbi and 9dbi external antenna

What app are you using to test signal strength/speed? Thanks!

So you don't know. Got it.

but were the positions on different levels? Horizontal changes the direction. So if something is upstairs or downstairs then some degree of horizontal would reach upstairs better. Ideall all things are on the same level, but my wifi extender is upstairs.

What if my router has no antennas? Am I sentenced to poor signal?

What is that wifi analyzer?

Simple: The signal strength is strongest in the perpendicular plane around an Antenna. The signal is strongest closest to the wi-fi router. Place your router as centrally as possible for fastest wi-fi over largest area. For orientation tweak of Antennas, simply establish the furthest point from your wif-fi router and run speed tests from there. You will likely find that the furthest point in a two story home is in a top or bottom corner of the building furthest from the router. Tilt all antennas slightly so that the radiation pattern catches this furthest corner - just as you would hold a bow if shooting an arrow from the router to the furthest point with weakest signal. If you tilt too much then signal level will drop off on the floor where the router sits - so balance the competing requirements giving priority to where you need the best signal speed. For wi-fi all on one level point all antennas vertically.

Lol mine is 14dBm lol

I never understood how the antenna are best positioned… but then a lot of the newer high end routers from ASUS and Google etc they don’t even have antenna

It doesn't matter what I think about my router antenna, my cat disagrees.

What about 45 degrees?

What is that you use to measure the speed of wifi?

Liron: please what app for iPhone for Wi-Fi analyzer do you recommend, Tj

The wireless signal radiates perpendicular to that of the antenna direction. Think of the antenna going through the hole of a donut. The donut shows the signal direction. Antennas pointing up, have a signal useful for ground level. Horizontal, for upper/lower levels. Also the wireless waves from each antenna interact with each other when they hit (wirelessly) and where these wave hit, they combine to create something called 'constructive interference', which intensifies its strength in a direction between the two radiating waves. In two dimensions it's easy to think of it like this...
🡡 = Antenna vertical pointing up (waves radiate directionally left and right: ⟷)
🡢 = Antenna horizontal pointing right (waves radiate directionally up and down: ↕)
🡥 = Constructive interference (where the waves hit each other and combine resulting in more strength)
🡥 = 🡡 + 🡢 (constructive wave radiates: ⤡ and ⤢ )

It's best to try and have each of the antennas pointed at different angles as to cause more constructive interference between the wireless signals. There are optimal direction/angles to use for each but it depends upon where the signal needs to go. For most cases people can get away with a 3 antenna setup with antenna 1 pointing out 45 degrees from center antenna and bent 45 degrees. Antenna 2 (center) pointing straight up. Antenna 3 pointing out -45 degrees (aka 315 degrees) and bent 45 degrees.

You talk funny. You must be in Yurp.

What is the name of the app for testing the wifi signal strength?

as for gamers, PING parameter is also very important. i wonder also, what is the best position for the receiver antenna to be

Sooooo.. Let's break it down a bit:

Conclusion: Test it yourself.
Now that's Hilarious! :'D

I'm sorry if it looks like I'm being toxic here, I'm really not trying to be!
But I got to say that, USUALLY when an item has some kind of adjustable function, there is, very simply, a purpose to that function.
So to put that in another way: OF COURSE there is a difference to put your antennas in different angles! That would only be pure logical thinking.
Which brings me back to the purpose of this particular video, to show WHICH angle to adjust them to.
Answer: by not even linking to the app being used for testing the signal, you now have the knowledge and tool you need to TEST IT YOURSELF!

Hilarious!

My wifi hangs on the wall, how should I?

Antennas are movable so that the router can fit in the box...

Great! Thank you! What is the WiFi analyzer you used, app/model? Thanks

have my router mounted (zip tied) to the top back of my flat panel TV. Should I mount it on the wall instead. Other possible spot is on a shelf next to the TV, but will that hinder the signal?

I got a tip for you, don't waste our time with a video that ends with "but really in the end its all about your rooter location" and then not bother to explain what that means.

Wont this change if i use my wifi on multiple floors?

Previous place i lived....... router downstairs and 2 antennas, with both antennas verticle almost no signal from my bedroom upstairs, with one antenna 45 deg horizontal much better signal from bedroom. Definitely makes a difference....... Also used a longer telephone cable so the router can be repositioned and then test for the best performance...... Its all trial and error

What's the point of all the experiments if you can't even come to a conclusion 🙄
The question still remains unanswered. Which way to point the antennas

Hey I have 2 antena router so will the maths remain the same?

Thank you! 👍

I just played around with the antennas and did speed tests on my pc, I went from 70mbps to 80mbps

Great video thanks! Will try this out

I used to have router in upstairs, it reached the whole of the house including downstairs. Now I have it downstairs it only reaches a few rooms away and barely upstairs, I have to use a signal repeater to give my upstairs wifi internet. Not a massive deal but it does show height helps propagate the signal further and if you only have a router with no repeater then any extra height you can give it will make a big difference.

Sup buddy

okay i love the intro music hahaha

What is the app you are using on your phone??

Which app u used?

name of app used ?

great tips...but please adjust your segway animation volume lower...I about dropped my drink!

what about if you have router in upstairs room? would having them in 45 degrees or some random positions give a wider coverage area?

Your eyes look so scary with that light reflecting in them

2 vertical and 2 horizontal is the solution for me... i have 92 mbits instead of my usual 70 to 80

So, the answer to which way to point your antennas is find out yourself, it depends? I wish google didnt suggest you tube videos when I just want an answer

I am not tech savvy, but trying to learn, all the time. I don't see an antenna on the router & it's all 1 piece. It's a Comcast Xfinity router. Is there anything that you can tell me about this. My eyesight is very bad. Ty in advance. Take care
🙂🧢👍
bad and my retention is poor. Please let me know. Ty in advance. 🙂🧢🐧🦋🌷

didnt tell me where to point the ariels on a computer

What is that app called

So having all 6 antennas up won’t make me lag in games?My pc is hardwired to my router there’s only 1 sometimes 2 people connected?

Make a video about how your router is in a terrible spot. It should be mounted to a wall or ceiling not sitting next to a pile of rubbish at waist height.

It's nice to know that antenna position makes a difference, depending on geography.
