Re: Étendre le signal wifi
Les répéteurs wifi sont cool pour les usages à petit débit (genre, inférieur à 30-50**blip**r la nouvelle vague de produits résidentielles pour le wifi-mesh. Le GoogleWifi https://store.google.com/product/google_wifi AmpliFi Wifi https://amplifi.com/ Le wifi de demain sera notamment orienté vers le 5Ghz (et même 10Ghz), donc ça voudra dire qu'un seul routeur pour une maison complète ne sera pas suffisant, et ça va prendre des technologies dans ce style. Le PowerLine (réseau informatique sur réseau électrique) est une vieille technologie qui commence à être cool; NetGear / D-Link sont les deux principaux joueurs, auquel je crois que NetGear a finalement sorti en premier avec le parfait produit pour la grande maison: NetGear PowerLine PLW1000 https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/powerline/PLW1000.aspx Il y a une couple de conditions dans cette technologie qui fera en sorte que soit que tout va bien, ou soit que vous allez faire la file à la ligne aux retours de votre marchand avec frustration, mais bref, le secret est que les appareils doivent se trouver sur la même phase électrique dans votre maison.46 kVues3likes0CommentaireRe: 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ??
Usually; most wifi chipsets will select their band on the RX (receive) signal strenght (the loudest burrys the rest), however, more modern devices are leveraging extensions like 802.11h to make better band and power choices. So I guess the simple answer is get a better router :-) You should look at Videotron's next-generation wifi router; which has some interesting under-the-hood technology. http://www.videotron.com/residential/internet/equipment/residential-internet/new-generation-wi-fi-router Or else, you can geek-out like me with my Unifi: https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/ :-)18 kVues0like0CommentaireMoving season - can I have an overlap of services?
Like many of us; moving season is about to enter full-force. I've got my videotron technician scheduled to move my Internet service to my new address, but I'm realizing that I will be taking more time to move than expected, and would like to maintain internet services at both addresses, at the same time, for about 15-30 days as I transition my life from point-A to point-B. Can I rent an additional modem for a month?Résolu6,3 kVues0like1Commentaire- 9,7 kVues1like0Commentaire
Re: Unable to have the full speed of my internet
Basically, you've got 4 possible causes for this slow-down. Your cable connection. Your router Yourwifi connection (either 2.4/5ghz) Your computer Your kids (yes, the true culprits) To verify your true & real speed; always check-out videotron's own speedtest tool at http://testvitesse.videotron.ca I'd suggest approaching your problem iteratively with the following steps (from easiest to most-complex) while using the above speedtest service. Ask everyone to turn-off their devices (literally, powered-off!); and only test with your laptopto see if things improve. Try another device to rule-out your laptop (just to have a second opinion). Connect your laptop directly into the router with an ethernet cable; to see if the problem might not be your aging router that just can't handle Videotron's 120mbit of pure speed. Connect your laptop directly into the cable-modem with an ethernet cable (remember to power-cycle the modem first!), to see if you might need to engage a service technician.

There was a time where it would be irrelevant; as the benefit would never be tangiby-felt, but now its starting to change with Videotron offering > 50mbit internet, video streaming, and high-bandwidth applications. Case-in-point: - If you're in an urban apartment building: 5Ghz only. This is because the sheer amount of 2.4ghz devices in your physical surrounding, that makes it literally impossible to have a fully-clear channel for your wifi to operate, and if you crave bandwidth; you will be best-served with 5Ghz. - If you're in a residential neighborhood (without anybody stacked on top and below you) then, you'll want to use both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz by having both networks using the same SSID (wifi name), and you might even want to consider a central location where to put your router (main floor, centrally-located, and forget the old basement computer desk that nobody uses anymore). 5Ghz allows you to reach must higher bandwidths (up to 1300mbps in some cases), while 2.4Ghz maxes-out at 300/450mbit, both in ideal conditions (which never happens; usually perfect condition flank speed is about half of that). Also, there's a question of spectrum; 2.4ghz goes easier through walls than 5ghz. 5Ghz covers a single-bedroom apartment well, while it won't ensure an entire 2-story house, so thats where 2.4ghz comes-in.
