Researchers’ Team From BYU Discovered The Way To Extend The Wi-Fi Range By 200 Feet Using Software
The team of researchers’ at Brigham Young University (BYU), led by an engineering professor, has found a way to extend Wi-Fi coverage by 200 feet using the software.
The signals range can be increased even without installing new hardware. Phil Lundrigan, Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at BYU, stated: “That’s really cool about this technology: Everything happens in software.” “Theoretically, we could install it on just about any Wi-Fi enabled device with a simple software upgrade.”
Perhaps all of our Wi-Fi currently has the 802.11n version, which permits us to use the 5 GHz spectrum. In addition to the speed, the coverage of this device is a big problem.
This updated software called On-Off Noice Power Communication can be compiled with the same hardware on the existing modems. Currently, Wi-Fi needs a speed of 1 Mbit/Sec to support a signal. This updated software that Lundrigan and the team have developed can do the same job at just one bit per second. That’s one-millionth of the speed currently required for Wi-Fi.

Many different WiFi Boosters are available in the market and they are a better source to stop the dead zones in the house. Wi-Fi dead zones can be a pain in the neck when parts of your home are not receiving Wi-Fi signals. One way to eliminate these “dead zones” is to move the router to another part of the house or to pay for two WiFi connections that incur extra and irrelevant costs. It never helps to call the service providers. They are either too slow to solve problems or often do not respond.
