First of all, we need to know what Wi-Fi is and how does it work.

WiFi stands for Wireless Fidelity and refers to a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance and is a wireless wireless local area network technology for devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, which aims to improve the interoperability between wireless networking products based on the IEEE 802.11 standard.

WiFi radio waves typically have a frequency of 2.4 gigahertz or 5.8 gigahertz. These two WiFi bands are then subdivided into multiple channels, each of which may be shared by many different networks at the same time.

Because WiFi relies on radio waves, WiFi networks can be disrupted by interference from other WiFi networks or various electronic devices, including microwaves, cordless phones, refrigerators, televisions, transistor radios, or Bluetooth devices.

 

There are 14 channels in total, 13 channels (1-13) available in China and 11 channels (1-11) available in the United States

Advantages: strong signal, low attenuation, strong wall penetration, long coverage distance

Disadvantages: narrow bandwidth, slow speed, large interference

 

A total of about 200 channels are divided, the channels available in various countries can be referred to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

Advantages: Wider bandwidth, faster speed, less interference

Disadvantages: weak signal, large attenuation, poor wall penetration, short coverage distance

 

Step 1：Register and activate broadband service with your local telecom operator

Step 2：Connect the broadband network cable to the router’s network receiving port, so that the router becomes a network converter, and any electronic device that has the function of linking Wi-Fi can connect to the network. You can also link the router’s network outgoing port with an electronic device with a network receiving port through a network cable. Because the router’s network outgoing port can have 2 or more, you can link to several electronic devices at the same time through a network cable.

Step 3：Set the Wi-Fi name and link password according to the router manual

Step 4：Turn on WLAN (Android device) or Wi-Fi (iOS device) on the device connected to Wi-Fi，and find the Wi-Fi name, enter password and click Connect to the network.
