It is not difficult to install and configure a Wi-Fi router in your own apartment. But sometimes this is not enough, because the standard coverage area of the wireless access point is not enough.

metal wire, soldering iron
Instructions
Step 1
There are several proven methods to amplify the Wi-Fi signal. Some of them require the purchase of additional equipment, others require technical intervention in individual parts of the device.
Step 2
Let's look at an example of amplifying the Wi-Fi signal of a router by changing its antenna. You can simply purchase a similar device in a different format. If you carefully study the structure of the router, you will see: the antenna is attached to the device through a threaded bushing, i.e. replacing it is not difficult.
Step 3
If it is necessary to significantly increase the signal range, then the existing antenna will have to be redone. Free the top of the insulating layer. Solder a metal wire to the exposed part of the antenna. Pull the other end out into the open space.
Step 4
If this was not enough, then solder the free end of the wire to the room television antenna, having previously disconnected the latter from other devices.
Step 5
If you need to significantly expand the coverage area of your Wi-Fi network, then purchase a second router and an additional network cable of the required length.
Step 6
Connect both Wi-Fi routers together with a network cable. Connect one end of it to the LAN port of the device that you already have installed, and the other to the Internet (WAN) port of the second equipment.
Step 7
Open the settings of the second router and create a wireless access point with the same parameters as the first network. In the settings of the network connection to the Internet, select the type of WAN signal transmission.
Step 8
Be sure to enable DHCP function in the LAN settings of the first Wi-Fi router. If you did everything correctly, then laptops connected to either of the two wireless access points will be able to access the Internet.
