Wi-Fi Networking: A Novel Method for Stabilizing Internet Connectivity by Optimizing Wi-Fi Router Configuration

Abstract

AbstractInternet is playing a critical role in today’s world. It has kept people connected regardless of the physical barriers. Business connections, communications, and remote work seem a possibility today due to the Internet. However, with the growth in smart devices and an exponential increase in the number of Internet users, there has been significant growth in the global Internet traffic which has exposed the limitations of the RF signals used in wireless communication in households, offices, and public places. In addition, these RF signals encounter disturbances as they travel through the transmission medium, i.e., air, and undergo attenuation. As a result, the RF signals received at the client end device seem to display an inconsistent and unstable flow, leading to an unsteady Internet connection for its users. The research paper discloses a novel solution to address the problem of inconsistent and unstable Internet connection observed in a Wi-Fi networking environment, wherein Wi-Fi routers are at play in a defined geography.KeywordsWi-Fi networkingAdjustable delay lineTunable delay elementPhase delayWi-Fi router configurationRF signalsInternet connectivity
