Given that, in some environments, a single Wi-Fi base station doesn’t fulfill your requirements, using multiple Wi-Fi base stations can improve your network range and throughput in areas farther away from the primary Wi-Fi base station. Additionally, as there is virtually no management overhead over Ethernet, more data will move from one point to another in the same space of time. Ethernet is also resistant to radio frequency interference and is easier to troubleshoot. Ethernet offers up to one gigabit rate, which is much faster than wireless (for wireless, the maximum rate is 450 Mbps on 802.11n 5 GHz). You can accomplish this by using the minimum number of Wi-Fi base stations required to service the physical network area and by using Ethernet wherever possible.Įxtending the range of your Wi-Fi network by connecting Wi-Fi base stations together using Ethernet is always the best option, and will provide the best throughput. The general rule is to keep the Wi-Fi network as simple as possible. In the case of a wirelessly extended network, throughput may be reduced to less than 60 percent of that of a single device. The network configuration also becomes more complex.
Before you add additional Wi-fi base stations to your network, you should consider whether or not you really need to.Īdding Wi-Fi base stations when it is unnecessary can reduce Wi-Fi throughput because the Wi-Fi network will require more data management overhead.
