Question: Relatives 2 floors higher have Wi-Fi from me!
Have (watch TV about it) bad reception when I use it (TV + laptop). Now my questions:
Somehow bring a Wi-Fi repeater or amplifier or something like that, what?
2. Is there a better alternative. No new connection above wanted!
3. Do I get speed stolen, (how do I understand that I go out much slower in the beginning, even if it is NOT used above)?
4. Different repeaters, amplifiers, Wlan-AP (belongs to the 1st time today)
I would recommend a wireless mesh network to you.
yes, see 1.
only when someone else is requesting data.
Reapeter and amplifier are the same, only one in German and the other in English.
I have that Fritz! Mesh-Set (https://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/fritz-mesh-set-75902400/) With a router and a repeater. I get along with that very, very well and with just one additional repeater I have consistently good connections over 4 floors.
Re 3 .: Since Wi-Fi is a so-called "fair" radio standard, only one device can transmit and receive at a time within a frequency. This means that if your neighbor uses the same frequency as you, this can be problematic (the fritz! Box automatically changes the frequency when instructed and selects the best one)
Frequency? I'm outside on my floor with 3 devices (mobile phone, laptop and TV) via this router and receive 100%
Somehow bring a Wi-Fi repeater or amplifier or something like that, what?
It can be improved if a repeater / extender is switched between the floors, then the connection is intercepted and "re-distributed". This increases the range by around 10m - depending on the environment (walls, etc.).
2. Is there a better alternative. No new connection above wanted!
An alternative would be D-LAN, i.e. Sending the signal via the socket. However, this assumes that the circuit of both apartments is connected, in a tenement house with several parties this is not possible.
3. I get speed stolen
Nothing is "stolen", if it is then shared. The available bandwidth is distributed to the connections so that all connections have the best possible connection. Depending on the router, devices can be restricted and others prioritized.
If both connections stream your broadcast, this is no problem as long as the bandwidth is sufficient and the signal is good. The worse the signal, the slower it gets until it stops working at some point. Assuming a bandwidth of 50k, streaming to two devices up to F-HD is possible without any problems, provided of course the signal comes through clean.
(How do I understand that I go out much slower in advance, even if it is NOT used above)
You would have to explain that in more detail, unfortunately that is incomprehensible to me.
Differences between repeaters, amplifiers, WLAN AP (heard for the first time today)
A repeater is the same as an amplifier, both pick up the incoming signal and amplify it to increase the range. The disadvantage of this is a slight loss of speed, but if you only go through a repeater it is hardly noticeable.
A W-LAN AP is an access point, i.e. A point that enables access to the network not far from the actual router. Simply put, you can "log in" to this device with your smartphone (or other internet-enabled device) and use it to access the internet.
Actually works like a repeater, with the difference that an AP is connected via LAN cable and the incoming signal is output via a different channel. An access point does not rely on expanding the incoming W-LAN signal, but rather builds its own W-LAN through the connection via LAN, which can then be used to dial in.
My D-LAN mentioned above (or also referred to as Powerline) enables the signal to be sent via the house's own power network, this is an advantage if you have to go further ways via W-LAN and can't lay a LAN cable.
The disadvantage is that the signal is weakened the further it has to go through this power grid and the more "hurdles" there are in between. So if you plug in such a D-Lan adapter (Powerline adapter) e.g. In a socket strip you already have a hurdle and should plug the adapter directly into the socket.
Amplifiers are illegal in Germany as the signal can't be amplified.
The WLAN access points are already transmitting at the maximum permissible power.
It is impossible to say in general whether a repeater brings anything.
If set up correctly, it can extend the radio coverage at the expense of the utilization of the radio channels.
There's a better alternative: LAN cable (CAT6 / 7).
I think you should dig up the topic of sparks from physics class in the brain archive. It doesn't matter whether we're talking about walkie talkies, CD radio, baby monitors or Wi-Fi. Everything obeys the same laws.
Otherwise you will find https://www.tor7.de/funktechnik-grundlagen an introduction.
Question: Relatives 2 floors higher have Wi-Fi from me!
Nice! Very beautiful!
Have (watch TV about it) bad reception when I use it (TV + laptop).
The reception does not change. The data rate is just not enough.
Somehow bring a Wi-Fi repeater or amplifier or something like that, what?
Hard to say. There's no Wi-Fi amplifier. There are only repeaters. These are sometimes called WLAN repeaters, but this is not correct. You would have to set up the repeater half a floor to one floor higher. A repeater halves the data rate.
2. Is there a better alternative.
Yes. Set up an access point above. However, it needs a cable connection downwards.
No new connection above wanted!
Well so what!
3. I get speed stolen
You can't steal speed.
(How do I understand that I go out much more slowly at the beginning, even if it is NOT used above)?
How do you compare that? The relatives can't use the WLAN for more than nothing. What is the difference between "not using" and "not using"?
4. Different repeaters, amplifiers, Wlan-AP (belongs to the 1st time today)
See above, there's no WLAN repeater. A repeater has a radio connection to the WLAN router and establishes another radio cell.
A WLAN access point is built into the WLAN router. Another WLAN access point requires a cable connection to the router.
Yes frequency. As the name (Wireless LAN) suggests and as you have probably also observed, WLAN is wireless. In order for it to work, WLAN uses radio waves. And depending on how fast these radio waves oscillate up and down, they can transmit more data or go further. The speed with which the waves change between the highest and lowest point is called frequency. With Wi-Fi, the frequency is measured in GHz (gigahertz)
