A telecom operator DNA expert responds to tight -fitting beliefs about the operation of the Internet and tells you which myths should be left to their own value.
For example, a wireless modem should not be pushed in an electric cabinet, even if it can fit there. Petteri Paalasmaa
- In his announcement, DNA repeaks the myths related to the Internet.
- At the same time, it tells tips for proper placement of wireless modems.
- The common mocha is to place the modem out of the eyes in the apartment’s electrical cabinet.
Network Director of DNA Jarkko Laari estimates the company in the press releaseDo general claims about the operation of the Internet and the help of the connection and how well.
For example, the claim that Internet connection may improve curtains or window opening According to Laar, it is only partially true.
– In the case of wireless connectivity or suede, metal structures such as selective glasses or blinds may suppress the signal, says Laari.
However, ordinary glass or fabric curtains do not affect in the same way. Also, opening the curtains or window has no effect on a fixed connection that operates through the management.
Partly into the Category of True goes also the claim that The internet connection should be restarted to keep the connection good.
“When it comes to, for example, wireless 4G or 5G modems, you don’t have to restart them in principle,” Laari says.
“However, it is not completely impossible that some devices do not work better after restart, but in this case the device is in practice defective in some way,” he continues.
It is completely true, however, that Wireless modem must not be near disturbing materialsfor certain materials and, for example, metal structures can significantly reduce the signal and reduce the quality of the connection.
-A typical example of this is a mistake made by many to put their wireless WiFi modem in the electric cabinet with other wires. While this is certainly convenient for the interior, the metal cabinet door clearly weakens the connection, Laari points out.
Instead of a claim that Wireless 4G or 5G modem must be restarted twice to get a better connectionsimply is not true.
If you have heard a claim that The internet connection works better in sunny weatherthere is, according to Laari, to follow. Kind of.
“When it comes to a wireless mobile network, humidity or damp snow, for example, may affect the signal progress,” says Laari.
According to DNA, the connection of the wireless mobile network is at its best in dry frosts in January -February and the weakest in August -September moisture. However, the difference is not significant.
The fact that 4G- or 5G modem should be locked in a frequency range that neighbors do not use;
“The base station distributes capacity based on a resource distribution algorithm,” Laari explains.
If your home 4G or 5G connection is cluttered, you may want to change the position of the modemfor typically the mobile signal is at its strongest indoors near windows.
– The coverage may also vary indoors, depending on which side of the building the nearest mobile base station is located. The fixed exterior modem always offers the best possible coverage and the most secure data connection, ”says Laari, but points out that the continuous interruption often requires changing the terminal.
Often the instruction to be heard that Wireless 4G or 5G modem must not be behind a concrete wall or other obstacleaccording to Laar, partly true.
“The signal also proceeds through the wall structures, but the thicker and larger the construction or the more metal -containing material between the mobile support station and the router, the more the signal is dampened and the slower the data connection,” he says.
The claim that It is advisable to raise your cell phone or mocking as high as possible to make the web betterdoes not apply in every situation. Of course, if you use, for example, a outdoor carrier that can be placed higher than a table router, the damping caused by the surrounding buildings and trees will be reduced.
– On the other hand, it is generally essential to coverage inside the building that there are minimal fixed structures between the mokkula and the base station. Thus, the downstairs window sill can be a better location than a closed attic.
Cell phone battery charge space affects the functionality of the Internetbut not necessarily as many people think.
– Typically, this is not the case, but some equipment manufacturers may have power -saving functions that maximize battery life as the charge drops below a certain limit. In this case, the phone may automatically limit its performance and use the web, Laari opens.
