The remote working model, which many workplaces have implemented with the pandemic, requires a strong internet connection. Keenetic, a brand of smart routers and modems, has prepared a guide on how to strengthen the internet in your home in line with all these needs.
In order to manage the pandemic process, many workplaces have switched to remote working models. A strong and stable internet connection is essential for this business model, called ‘home office’, ‘remote work’, or ‘remote work’, to function efficiently and seamlessly. As the production and consumption rate of digital content increases, the bandwidth needed to upload content increases, and the need for strong internet connection increases again. However, it may be necessary to use multiple technological communication devices, multiple real-time internet applications (zoom, EBA, Skype, skype) at the same time in the same house. While all this is expected to be used efficiently; It can become a problem in itself in Turkey, where approximately 86 percent of users can get download speeds between 4-35 Mbps. Keenetic, a brand of smart routers and modems, has prepared a guide on how to strengthen the internet in your home in line with all these needs. With this guide, powerful internet connectivity in every corner of your home is no longer utopia.
Choose a high-speed and stable internet plan
Choosing your Internet service provider and connection type may not always be up to you. There are different methods and protocols used for internet connection in Turkey and around the world. Some of these types of fiber (FTTH), fiber up to the building (FFTB), cable internet, satellite internet and DSL connection to the house. Different speeds can be offered from all these connection types. The golden rule of having a strong internet is to choose a high-speed and stable internet. You should check out the internet service provider that offers the best internet where you live. For example, if you want to use if possible, opt for fiber connections that can offer higher speeds instead of DSL connections. If only ADSL/VDSL connectivity is available to your home, it’s best to choose a modem where you can improve speed and stability by configuring SNR margin settings. Note that Keenetic has this feature on VDSL/ADSL modem devices.
Update your modem
For a powerful internet at home, choosing a modem is as important as a good internet connection. Be sure to check if your home modem supports new technologies. If possible, opt for dual band devices that support both the 2.4GHz and 5 Ghz bands. This allows devices on your home network to connect to the internet with lower latency and higher speed.
Software features are as important as the hardware features of your modem. With emerging technologies, more devices are connecting to the internet. With the need for speed, new security measures may need to be taken. KeeneticOS software on Keenetic devices; The developer offers multiple software versions, such as previews and stable versions, to their end users periodically and for a long time. With its cloud-based architecture, your device continues to run up-to-date and securely smoothly.
Back up your internet if possible
A powerful internet is also about whether your entire system is stable. None of us want our internet cut off at critical times. If your budget allows, having two different connections can help you overcome critical moments. For example, if you want to use if your infrastructure also enables, you can have fiber and a DSL connection.
Keenetic’s success in internet backup is also noteworthy. With configurable ethernet ports, you can end multiple broadband internet plans on Keenetic devices at the same time. However, with its WISP (wireless internet service provider) feature, you can share the internet on your smartphone to all network devices via Wi-Fi.
Forget the old range extenders, upgrade to WiFi Mesh System!
The area you live in may be large, or your WiFi range may not reach the back rooms due to the materials used in the construction, the signal jammers around. In such a case, expanding the WiFi area without cable clutter with an additional WiFi range extender is one of the first things that comes to mind. You can do this method with all Keenetic devices. All Keenetic devices support range extender, access point, client, and router modes.
Unlike traditional range extender methods, your preference for a WiFi Mesh system allows you to seamlessly connect in all rooms within your home. On ordinary router devices, it typically takes 5 sec for devices on the network to switch from one access point to another. Thanks to the standards of 802.11k, 802.11r and 802.11v, this time is 100 ms. (milliseconds).
You determine the direction of the antennas
Check your device for amplifiers. Your modem/router or access point devices have antennas to transmit WiFi signals to client devices. Choose to have external antennas on your modem or router device, or check the earnings of your antennas if you’re going to get a new access point. Antennas found in most home router devices broadcast in a ring-shaped (omni-directional) form. For this reason, your preference for router devices with external and direct antennas allows you to better manage WiFi signals and direct them towards your desired destination.
Keenetic devices have external and directional antennas. In addition, many Keenetic devices have LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) and FEM (Front-End-Module) amplifiers. These wireless boosters enable more efficient transmission of mobile signals, especially on mobile devices.
Switch to the appropriate channel or activate DFS
In the city centers, where vertical strucing is increasing day by day, too many modem/router devices are broadcasting for the same region. This can cause distortions between WiFi signals. Check with 3rd party apps which channel the WiFi signals around you are broadcasting on and try broadcasting on a more empty channel. If you want your router device to do this for you, you should choose a Keenetic device with DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection).

Make traffic classifications and prioritizations
You can use different apps on the devices you use to connect to the Internet. For example, if you want to use interruptions during an online video meeting can reduce your productivity, or interruptions in online education can cause more serious problems. Perform traffic classifications on this device for whatever purpose you are using. If you have a laptop that you’re constantly attending meetings on, assign it the highest priority. Lower the priority of actions you give download tasks to, such as NAS devices or torrents.
With keenetic’s device-based traffic classification, it is possible to classify your registered devices according to the types of traffic you want.
