Router or Repeater?
The WiFi repeaters/extenders are a better option. Wireless signals are affected by many factors, including distance, dense walls, electrical interference such as microwave ovens, etc. All of these factors will affect your actual wireless range. As wireless connection quality varies the connection speeds are renegotiated. The WLAN connection may start at 150 Mbps and end up at less than 20 Mbps or drop entirely. Even a high gain router will have problem areas (dead spots) due to the WiFi limitations discussed above. I have a high-end router and still use a Amped wireless access point to extend the wireless range. Technically, a wireless access point requires a Ethernet connection, however a wireless range extender doesn't. True wireless access points connect to the router via Ethernet and then broadcast a wireless signal. However you have to check the specs carefully because many times wireless extenders are misrepresented as wireless access points. WiFi Extenders plug in and regenerate WiFi signals to increase the wireless range of your router. The TP-LINK TL-WA850RE is the least expensive at around $30. http://isp1.us/reviews/tp-link-tl-wa850r... They are easy to install and set-up, just locate them between the router and the area that needs a better WiFi signal. As far as speed goes, any wireless connection will be somewhat slower than a wired Ethernet connection. Many times the convenience of a WiFi connection will outway the marginal decrease in speed. I still manage around a 65 Mbps Internet connection via a wireless connection from a wireless access point that I have added to my router. I don't get much faster using a direct Ethernet connected computer. That being said, If you are a serious gamer WiFi latency and interference can cause your online interactive game to lag., you'll want a direct Ethernet connection or if that is not possible, use the powerline Ethernet adapters. Here is a overview of how they work. http://isp1.us/reviews/netgear-xavb2101-... For gaming low, stable latency (ping time) and decent upload speed is more important than high download speed. Good Luck.
Would putting 2 antennas on my router increase the download/upload times and ping?
Nope. If it "sees" the SSID, antennas are mostly for range and increased Signal/Noise ratio, SNR. But adding the cable for the antena also decreases its power. Yes, try it with a wired connection if possible. Ping is latency, ping is better with wired, simply because WIFI needs to negotiate air time, while wired simply blasts it on the wire and hopes there isn't a collision.
Wifi repeaters are also known as wifi extenders which extend your network further than it was before. You connect to that network name, go to your browser, type in the link from the instructions, select your network, type in your password for your network, and you’re done.Lets say that you have a laptop attached to an extender that connects to your router. Every bit of data has a journey and how long it takes for that journey to finish determines how fast your connection is. The only controllable part of the journey is how many devices the data has to pass through to reach you. Therefore, the more devices (routers, extenders, ect.), the higher your ping times and the slower your connection.
The act of digital TV broadcasting and reception at your home causes a few seconds of delay, which is unavoidable.Tracing the signal back it will have arrived at the transmitter, probably via fibre optic cable or possibly microwave transmission, from the TV station’s network control centre. This will introduce a few milliseconds of delay. No programmes aren’t broadcast directly, they go through network control who pieces together the channel and switches the between the different channel sources to make the network itself. There it will have gone through various processing steps and that could add a few dozen more milliseconds or possibly dozens, even hundreds of milliseconds, it depends. The channel could insert a deliberately long delay to act as a protection against bad language, but this isn’t something I have seen done for sports events.The sports event probably comes from some remote stadium, there are two main ways the signal gets back. Big modern stadiums are often connected via fibre to a regional switching centre belonging to some telecoms company, from there it can be sent nationally, internationally or just regionally to the local TV company. If the stadium isn’t connected, if there isn’t sufficient capacity, if the broadcaster is international and wants the feed in another country, or just because they can, the signal might be relayed via satellite. This satellite signal isn’t what you see, it is what we call an SCPC signal which is broadcast with the intention of one (or a few) receivers picking it up. This adds a few seconds of delay, firstly because digital TV signals take time to encode and decode, but also because the round trip via satellite is about 240ms (1/4 sec).In the stadium there will be some delays for signals travelling down cables and for signal processing, but these are normally beyond human measurement.So, in conclusion, it wouldn’t be surprising for a sports broadcast to be displayed on a domestic TV up to 10 seconds after the original action.
If you have recently purchased SAMSUNG Galaxy Grand Prime you might be facing lagging issue.Although its not Samsung FlagShip Smartphone like Note and S5 but Samsung has really captured the market with other competitors in Asian market such as Huawei, Nokia or Oppo etc. The Phone is Quad Core with 8GB built in and 1GB of RAM but some of you might have experienced sluggish behavior of this phone.Try below steps, it worked for me and i hope it will work for you too1. Shutdown your phone by holding the power button for a while and tap shutdown2. Take the back cover off3. Take off the battery4. Take of the SIM’s5. Put back the SIM’s after 5 minute6. Put the Battery back in the Set after 5 minutes [At same time with SIMS]7. Turn on your SET8. Remove extra programs SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE USING CLEAN MASTER, Remove it and clean residual files by installing CCleaner9. TURN OF SYNC , if you require u can sync on, but this is the main culprit of slowing down your device. so turn it of if you are not syncing stuff and would like it manually.You will see a considerable change in the speed or lagging issue. please make sure you also correct the Date as you have taken out the Battery and the phone timings needs to be brought back to current date and time.
