Router upgrade

We have recently acquired a new D-Link 600 router. And to our surprise, we experienced tremendous improvement in terms of internet connection speed and stability. Since my wife and I use only wifi (a Macbook Pro, an HP Pavillion G4 laptop, plus an iPad2), we have benefited tremendously with this new router. So if you are having problems with your WiFi connection, here are some things to check:

- Do you have the latest WiFi connection technology? –> Currently it should be “N” type WiFi
- Do you have updated WiFi cards on your Laptops? –> Your WiFi connection is only as fast as your slowest Laptop. This means if you have super fast laptops and an old one with “A or B” type connection joins in, the speed of your network will be affected. So make sure to get the latest WiFi drivers for your laptops and other devices.
- Is your router, modem and ISP working as intended? –> Do a router bypass, connect your computer wired to your modem to see if there is a huge difference. If there is a huge difference, then you may adjust the setting of your router, upgrade the firmware, or better yet, consider getting a new router. If the problem persists even when connected directly to your modem, you will have to check on your modem by calling your ISP. With these tips you will be able to get a more stable speed and connection.

Now the only thing I’m thinking of improving is the signal of our secondary internet connection – which is Sun Broadband. I might consider looking at getting a home cell booster which may help with the signal problems I am having with Sun.
