Liputan6.com, Jakarta – You may often experience slow or slow internet. The reason for the slow internet is not a single but many factors. Starting from the internet infrastructure, network interference, data usage, high traffic, device selection factors and device damage, the presence of intruders in the room and others.
In fact, many believe that it is necessary to manipulate the settings on a cellphone or laptop such as unplugging and replacing the SIM card, airplane mode, temporarily turning off the network, changing DNS settings, routinely rebooting / restarting router devices and others as a solution.
In some cases such as the presence of wireless signal interference, it needs to be restarted, but generally the slow access speed is actually triggered by other factors, so that such tricks do not have significant impact.
In addition, it turns out there are still many who consider the network device is one unit with internet services or Internet Service Provider (ISP) services. In fact, network devices and internet services are two different things but complement and support one another.
So the important role of network provider companies, such as TP-Link Indonesia, is in the provision of reliable network device components with technology support, specifications and features that support their internet services
Following are some tips given by TP-Link, in choosing the right router.
First of all, in order to use it adequately, calculate the amount of available bandwidth with the number of devices that will use that bandwidth.
The low speed of internet access from ISPs is not proportional to the number of devices connected. For example, using a 10 mbps internet package that is shared for 10 devices where in theory each device will get an internet speed of 1 Mbps.
If the internet access speed is not more than 50 Mbps then the user can use a device that has a WAN port with a fast ethernet rating (100 Mbps) but if the user’s internet access speed is above that value then it is better to use a device that has a WAN port with a gigabit etherent rating (1000 Mbps).
This is important to ensure that bottlenecks do not occur that result in suboptimal distribution of bandwidth from the ISP to the gateway. The use of network devices is not appropriate because it does not pay attention to the basic needs of users. For example, the use of entry level routers for business activities or offices which of course the number of devices connected will far exceed the hardware specifications of the device.

Choose a router that supports dual band 2.4 GHz and 5GHz for maximum performance. The average TP-Link router has an automatic band steering capability that automatically divides devices according to their bands. This will affect the performance considering that now too many devices that support dual band.
Another thing, learn the optimal router placement topology. Materials in the office such as aluminum including the location of the router could affect the performance of the router to be worse?
That’s right, because wireless is emitted through electromagnetic waves through the air, physical barriers with a certain density level will weaken the signal strength level so the device placement factor must be considered. The basic rule is to ensure that the device is placed in the middle of the room at a position at a sufficient height to create a line of sight condition between the transmitter and the receiving device without physical obstruction.
Actually, our reference in choosing a router is internet activity, not the number of users. Even so, for light online activities such as browsing, playing social media, downloading and chatting, you can use an entry level router such as the TL-WR840N.
But if online needs such as online gaming and streaming are connected already above the value of 10 to a maximum of 20, then it is recommended to use a mid-high router device that has dual band capabilities such as Archer / Deco products.
For users with a small area, you can use a basic / entry class router by taking into account the limits of the number of users and access speed they have. For large areas with thick walls you can use high power routers such as TL-WR841HP and Archer C58HP or a combination of routers with extenders such as Archer C60 and RE450.
Meanwhile, if you want an all in one solution for large areas with quite a lot of heavy and online activities you can use a Mesh Router like Deco E4 and Deco M5.
