Every year, during the "Golden Three Silver Four", many friends start their home decoration activities, which can be said to be one of the most suitable seasons of the year for decoration.  What is the most important decoration?  Yes, planning is the most important!  Many friends have planned all the projects perfectly during the decoration, and only after the furniture and home appliances have entered the site did they find that they did not have network wiring during the decoration!

Such a messy weak current box is not enough

As a result, the WiFi signal brought by the use of a wireless router cannot meet the coverage requirements of all rooms, but other rooms cannot expand the network without burying the network cable in advance, and cannot achieve WiFi coverage in the whole house, which is very troublesome.  Therefore, if the home is a room with a size of more than 90 square meters, it is recommended that each room (except the bathroom, kitchen, etc.) be pre-buried with network cables in advance to facilitate Internet access in the future.

AC+AP mode works best

In this networking method, it is necessary to deploy a switch that supports gigabit network in the weak current box, connect the switch through the optical modem dial-up, and then insert the network cable embedded in each room into each port of the switch.  In this way, other rooms only need to deploy a wireless router or install a panel-type ap to meet their WiFi Internet access needs.  It should be noted that if the panel-type AP is selected to provide WiFi, the Gigabit switch in the weak current box is also required to support the PoE power supply function.

Simple to use

If there are many rooms in the home (more than 4), you need to install a panel AP, you need to buy a switch with more than 8 ports that supports PoE.

What if there is no pre-buried network cable?  Don't worry, there are two more ways to save your home WiFi network!

mesh networking

The first one, mesh networking, is suitable for home environments with few walls.  The principle is to extend the WiFi network through wireless transmission through multiple routers, and the network speed will not be halved after relaying like wireless relays.

Power line networking

The second, power line networking, is suitable for environments where there are no pre-buried network cables and there are many walls in the home.  The principle is to use the wires in the user's home to transmit network signals and turn the wires into network cables.  It is also very simple to use. After the main router is connected to the optical cat, which room needs to access the Internet, the network can be expanded by simply plugging the sub-router into the power supply.

how about it?  Did you learn?  Wi-Fi in the whole house is now essential. If it is being renovated or has been renovated, let's practice according to this guide!
