WLAN: increase bandwidth - how it works

You can use various effective methods to increase the WiFi bandwidth. In this practical tip, we will show you exactly how to do this.

Possibility 1: Increase WLAN bandwidth with additional antennas

• If your router has several WLAN antennas, this ensures a higher WLAN bandwidth.
• External antennas generally have a better bandwidth than internal WLAN antennas.
• If your router only has one antenna, you can upgrade it with other WLAN antennas, provided the appropriate connections are available.

Possibility 2: Increase WiFi bandwidth through router alignment

• To use the full bandwidth of your router, you should align it correctly.
• We recommend placing the router in an elevated position so that the WiFi can go anywhere.
• You should not place any jamming devices next to the router, such as microwaves, Bluetooth devices or large plants.
