its-network.blogspot.com - We’ve all been there: You're watching the latest season of
Orange is the New Black
on Netflix when, all of a sudden, the video jerks to a stop—and the
endless buffering begins. It's frustrating when your network slows down
(or shuts down completely), but there are a few tricks you can use boost
your Wi-Fi signal. Here are a few of them.
1. DON'T HIDE YOUR ROUTER.
Most people hide their routers because they’re unsightly or in the
way, but placing a router in a closet or in a cabinet is a one-way
ticket to slow Wi-Fi: Walls and doors can degrade and absorb signal
strength. Find a central location in your home and put your router on a
table or bookshelf. Because some routers are designed to project a Wi-Fi
signal slightly downward, keeping it higher off the ground will evenly
distribute a Wi-Fi signal throughout your home.
2. STAY AWAY FROM APPLIANCES AND METAL OBJECTS.
Microwaves, cordless telephones, flourescent lights, and even other
routers in your neighbor’s home or apartment may interfere with your
Wi-Fi signal. To reduce interference, place your router away from
household appliances and set it to a different wireless channel and
frequency. Using online tools—Acrylic Wi-Fi for Windows and AirGrab Wi-Fi Radar
for Mac, for example—can help you find the right wireless channel with
the least amount of interference. If you want an easier fix, most
routers have an automatic option to find the best channel for your
location.
You should also avoid placing your router near metal objects, which can absorb signal strength.
3. RESET ON A SCHEDULE ...
It sounds simple enough, but a majority of tech support problems can
be cleared up by simply resetting or rebooting your router or modem on a
regular basis. (It's also probably the first thing your Internet
provider will ask you to do when you call to complain, so head them off
at the pass.) And if you buy an outlet timer, you don't even have to worry about it: Set the timer to reset your router once a day at an off-peak time.
4. ... AND UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE.
Yes, we know—running firmware updates is annoying and time consuming.
But if you have an older router, those updates ensure your router's
software is running at its best and most efficient. And remember: It's
best to buy a new router every seven or eight years.
5. ADJUST YOUR ROUTER'S ANTENNAS.
Most routers have two adjustable antennas on top. If yours are parallel, it's time to switch things up and go perpendicular.
Wi-Fi works best when signals are parallel to a device’s internal
antenna, which are horizontal in laptops and vertical in desktop
computers. Internal antennas vary in mobile devices, depending on how
you’re holding them (in portrait or landscape mode). Keeping a router’s
antennas perpendicular to each other will ensure a solid connection
between your home network and your smartphones and laptops.
6. USE BEER CANS.
Typically, a beer is something best enjoyed
after a home
improvement project is complete, but in this case, it's necessary to
drink one before you even get started: The aluminum in beer and soda
cans reflects and extend the signal farther than the router itself.
Here's how it works. Step one: Have a beer and wash out the can. Then, remove the pop top
and, using a pair of scissors or a utility knife, cut around the bottom
of the can to remove it. Repeat the process for the top of the can,
just below the mouth, but don’t cut all the way around—leave about 1 to 2
inches of space at the top to make sure the mouth of the can is still
attached. Then, from the bottom, cut down the middle of the can on the
opposite side of the space. Fan out the flaps to create a curve or
parabola and turn the can upside down to stand it up. Stick one of the
router's antennas through the mouth of the beer can and use a small
piece of duct tape or blu-tack to keep it in place, then repeat the
process for the other antenna. Although your router might look messy,
your signal strength should greatly improve (at least in certain
directions).
If you don’t want to use a beer can, you can use simple household tinfoil to create the same effect.
7. PASSWORD-PROTECT YOUR NETWORK ...
Because home Wi-Fi speeds are (slightly) dependent on how many people
are using it at one time, a strong password is key: It will ensure that
only authorized people are using your network. Take advantage of the security
already built into your router and select a password (or better yet, a
passphrase) that is a hard-to-figure-out combination of letters,
numbers, and symbols.
8. ... AND STAGGER HEAVY BANDWIDTH USEAGE.
If too many people on your home network are using heavy bandwidth at
the same time, like playing online video games, watching Netflix, and
downloading movies and music from iTunes, then your entire network will
slow down for everyone. Try to stagger heavy Internet use to make sure
your home network is running fast and smooth for all users.
9. BUY A REPEATER.
Amazon
Most routers have a range of about 150 feet. If you live in a big
house, devices and computers in rooms farthest away from your router
might have a hard time connecting to your home Wi-Fi network. The
easiest fix to boost the signal in those rooms is to buy a Wi-Fi repeater,
which can plug into any wall outlet and will increases a signal's range
and strength to the farthest parts of your home (with a corresponding decrease in internet speed for those connecting to the extender, but you can’t have everything).
If you’re feeling more ambitious (or cheap), you can turn an old router into a Wi-Fi repeater with a little bit of programming and hacking.

Setelah diotak atik akhirnya, ketemu juga solusinya...
Yang menjadi masalah ada IE versi 64 bit, setelah di coba versi 32 bit. Akhirnya Live View berjalan lancar.
Selamat Mencoba ya......
