Ask: How to get better WiFi signal?

 

Answer: Here are some hints for you: 

4.3.1  If  you  are  using  BrosTrend  USB  WiFi  Adapter  on  your  desktop,  please 

plug it into the USB port in the front of your PC instead of the USB port on 
the rear part of your PC, because the USB port in the front of your PC has 
more open area. 

4.3.2  The  WiFi  network  performance  depends  on  the  physical  environment  in 

your  office  or  at  home,  the  walls  and  doors  with  metal,  a  working 
microwave  oven  or  ceramics  will  lower  your  WiFi  speed  or  signal;  If 
possible, please keep your WiFi router and PC away from them. 

4.3.3  If you are using an AC WiFi router or dual band WiFi router, you should 

need to know: 

4.3.3.1 5GHz band has much faster WiFi speed than 2.4GHz band because 

5GHz band is less crowded and it is clearer; while 5GHz WiFi is not as 
good  as  2.4GHz  WiFi  at  penetrating  walls,  also  not  as  good  at  long 
range transmission as 2.4GHz. 

4.3.3.2 The speed of 2.4GHz WiFi band is not as fast as that of 5GHz, while 

2.4GHz  is  much  stronger  than  5GHz  in  penetrating  walls  and  long 
range transmission. 

4.3.3.3 So you can take advantage of the above features to have optimal WiFi 

performance on your BrosTrend USB WiFi adapter; also, you can shift 
between the 5GHz and 2.4GHz WiFi network. 

 

4.4 

Ask:  Can  I  use  a  USB  extension  cable  to  extend  my  BrosTrend  USB  WiFi 
Adapter to get better WiFi signal?

 

Answer:

 

Yes, you can do this to get better WiFi signal. In order to work properly, 

BrosTrend USB WiFi Adapter needs to have enough power supply from USB port 
of your PC. The longer USB extension cable you are using, the more power you 
will get lost on the USB cable; In case your USB extension cable is too long, it will 
cause  BrosTrend USB WiFi Adapter  fail to work because of the lack of enough 
power supply. And the power lost on USB extension also depends on the quality 
of your USB cable, so we suggest using USB extension cable of shorter length or 
with higher quality.
