Another excellent application is: WiFi Explorer (for Macs) or inSSIDer (for Macs or PCs) to get a "visual" view of competing networks. What you want to look for are Wi-Fis with the strongest signal values and which channels they are operating on, and then, only change your network's channel if they are superimposed over each other. I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible. In the first area, you may find that just by changing the radio channel that your extended network is operating on could just be the trick needed to improve overall bandwidth performance. There are two basic kinds: 1) Other Wi-Fi networks operating in the nearby vicinity, and 2) The building construction materials used between base station locations. The other area to look at is Wi-Fi interference. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on best base station placement for maximum bandwidth performance. so placement of the extending stations is very important. It is important to understand that each extending base station can only extend the Extreme's wireless network with the same bandwidth that it receives it.

Got any tips how to improve the wireless service within my house?īefore running out and getting a 5th gen model (unless that's you intent anyways 😉) I would suggest that we try a few things to help improve your extended network's performance.
