Wi-Fi Tech is evolving has your router?
The days of noisy dial-up connections and web browsers that came on CD-ROMs may be over, but if your home
has an outdated router, youre still living in the past. Homes today have an average of 8 devices connected to the
Internet, and 84% of users stream videos and music, or play games online all at the same time. However, a
majority of homes still use old wireless router technology.

Speaking Wi-Fi and Hotspot

MU-MIMO Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output:

In a system that uses MU-MIMO, a router can direct
separate streams of bandwidth to up to four different
devices simultaneously, as long as the devices are
also set up to use MU-MIMO. In effect, each device
functions as though it had its own dedicated router.
The router does not juggle devices as they need
bandwidth; each one gets a steady stream according
to its needs. (If there are more than four devices,
however, at least two will have to share a stream.)

2.4GHz 5GHz Dual Band:

 Home User Solutions
For reasons unknown, maybe physics, global warming or simple science, your
current routers reach may be terrible in your house, there may even exist Wi-Fi
dead zones. What could be the cause and how do you fix it?

Home construction and other obstructions. The way your home

is built has likely the most direct impact on how far Wi-Fi can
penetrate the house. The vast majority of homes were built
before the concept of cell-phones, 3G service and Wi-Fi. Steel
structures, concrete, etc. can all make an impact on your Wi-Fi
coverage
Home User Solutions

Interference from neighbours and other gadgets: most

home users buy just a few varieties of routers made for
the residential market. Most users also never tweak
their settings, and most routers default to the same
channel. If you see a good number of Wi-Fi names
available from your laptop, or you suspect you might
have bad luck in your neighbours placement, its time
to switch channels.
 Home User Solutions
Poor Placement: Poor placement of
your Wi-Fi router will also have an
impact on the coverage area of your
Wi-Fi Network. Luckily, there is a
simple guide to follow when placing
your Router, namely VOICE
Ensure that your router has its
antenna pointing in a vertical
fashion
Is free from obstructions, so that
it is not right next to a thick wall,
close to other electronics etc.
Is away from, and working on a
different channel from
interference neighbours
Has a central position in your
house, so its coverage is a even
and wide ranging as possible
Is elevated, because Wi-Fi signal
has an easier time travelling
down and sideways than up.
 Home User Solutions

Incoming Internet When deciding on a suitable router,

Connection ask the following questions:
How many users will connect to
Fibre the wireless network?
What will it be used for? For
example online gaming,
streaming etc.
DSL What type and number of
devices will be used?
What is the size of the coverage
area (home size)

How many users will access the Wi-Fi
network?
What type of traffic will they
generate?
What is the coverage area required, or

 What is Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi?
Currently there is a major shift to move away from hardware and even software
controller to cloud-based controller.

Embeds both wireless controller and management software in the cloud

Typically, with Cloud-management solution no user traffic is passed through the
cloud
If connection is lost to the cloud the WLAN still remains active
Administrators can access the dashboard through a web-based GUI
 What is Cloud-Managed Wi-Fi?

Some cloud-based WLAN are sold as subscription based service

This offloads the capital and potential operational expenses of the conventional
WLAN such as:
Deploying
Securing
Updating
Back up
Power and cooling
Compatible APs and other network devices are purchased separately, and
deployed and maintained on site.
Cloud Wi-Fi relieves the burden of maintenance

 Billable Hotspot Solutions
Brands of Wi-Fi providers allows for creating a billable hotspot solution, allowing
you to capitalise on your Wi-Fi network

Is it possible to capitalize on your hotspot?

Yes, and to do so, you require a captive portal
An example would be Chillispot Captive Portal
Chillispot is an open source captive portal or wireless LAN access
point controller
It supports web-based login, which is todays standard for public
hotspots
A RADIUS servers handles AAA Authentication Authorization
and Accounting.
Billable Hotspot Solutions

To build your own hotspot you require the following:

An internet connection
Wireless LAN Access Point
Chillispot Software on your PC
A RADIUS Server
A Web Server
Billable Hotspot Solutions

3rd party Hotspot billing solution:

Alternatively, you might find building your own hotspot
too much of a daunting task and you need an existing
3rd party hotspot billing solution you can simply
incorporate into your existing infrastructure.
An Example would be Purple Wi-Fi, a third party
hotspot billing solution that takes care of the back-end
billing solution, where you do not have to get the
banks involved with credit card payments.
 A True Mesh Network Solution
Some providers claim to have a Mesh Solution, but spell it Mess.

A Mesh network is when your access points, whether hard wired to the Internet
or simply on power, will create an interlaced Wi-Fi network by self-forming and
self-healing Mesh.

With a mesh network, one major requirement is seamless roaming, this means
that when a mobile, Wi-Fi enabled device moves between connecting from one
access point to another in a Mesh Wi-Fi network, that the end user will not be
affected or does not experience any disruption in service.
