The Internet is life. This is what I have heard many times from people who make a living on the internet. For them, it seems that they cannot live without the internet. It seems true because their source of income relied on the Internet? So if there is no internet, they have no income, and if they have no income they cannot buy food.
Honestly my dear Hivers, this is our situation in Hive Blockchain. How does Hive exist? Let's illustrate it this way: It is like the living body of a human. The body has components such as cells, tissues, organs, and systems that are combined together to form the entire human body. But to be alive there is a very important fluid that needs to be in good condition. This is the blood.
Similarly, the Hive is made up of many individuals who form groups called communities, the community also comes from different countries around the world and this is where the decentralized Blockchain is formed. It is like a body with a very important component to survive which is the internet. The internet is like the lifeblood of Hive Blockchain.
The question is, how stable is your internet? If our internet is not stable, it will be difficult for us as individuals to share in the good things that can keep it living or strengthen the Hive. Because of this, I want to impart my knowledge to everyone an idea about speeding up the internet.
The internet has two types of connections. These are the wired connection and the wireless connection. There are two types of wired connection which are DSL or Digital Subscriber Line and Fiber Optic Line. Fiber Optic Line has the fastest data transmission in the world as we know it today. But even though the internet of that type of connection is very fast, there are many possibilities of unexpected interruptions. Why? One of the most common is the fiber break caused by rat bites. Tracing a fiber cut and repairing a fiber optic line is difficult work.
So we really need back-up internet like wireless connection. Sometimes this is the most practical, especially in the absence of a wired connection in a particular place.
As I said, stable and consistent internet is very important. However, the wireless connection has limitations. It's only fast if you're near a cell tower. What if you are situated in a location far from a cell tower? In isolated places, internet connection may be very slow or intermittent. Maybe some have funny experiences of climbing at heights, maybe a tree just to find a good internet connection.
Even if you load a big or powerful Data it will not be of much use if you are far from the tower. In this situation, what should we do to speed up the internet connection?
We can use an outdoor antenna. It will be connected using an RG6 coaxial cable to your wireless modem. Let's use an LTE modem. LTE stands for Long Term Evolution. The LTE modem is compatible with a 4G or 5G antenna. This time we will only use a 4G antenna.
The LTE modem has two built-in female RG6 coaxial cable connectors on the back intended for the antenna. A modem is a device to connect a computer or any device that needs internet. The signal transmitted by the cell tower does not penetrate much inside the house because of the barriers. Therefore, it is necessary to have a device placed outside to capture the signal and then transmit it to the modem.
This is the function of the outdoor antenna. First, it will receive the signal transmitted by the cell tower that is already there outside of the house, then boost it before transmitting it to the modem. That's why the internet will be faster if there is an outdoor antenna.
I will show you a picture of the actual difference in speed without the outdoor antenna and the speed with an outdoor antenna connected to the modem.
Without the outdoor antenna, I did a speed test on Ookla and I compared the speed that can be seen on the dashboard of the device itself. In Ookla speed test, there is a download of 17.53mbps and an upload of 1.93mbps. In the Dashboard of the device, there is a download of 84.49 MB and an upload of 14.99 MB.
With the outdoor antenna connected to the modem, I did a speed test again on Ookla and I compared the speed that can be seen on the dashboard of the device itself. In ookla speed test, there is a download of 29.20mbps and an upload of 5.01mbps. In the Dashboard of the device, there is a download of 158.87 MB and an upload of 19.98 MB.
I also tried browsing Facebook and YouTube. Playing the video is smooth.
The data that I used was only 300MB of prepaid data for 20 pesos good for two days of usage. The speed difference was great when I installed an outdoor antenna on the modem.
Even though our distance from the tower is about 2 kilometers away, the internet is still fast. Fortunately, this can be used as an alternative way to get a good internet connection. My purchase of this outdoor antenna is below one thousand pesos. The model I am using is a hybrid 36dbi outdoor antenna. If you want more powerful one, it's good to use a parabolic antenna. It is more expensive compared to this. But it can provide the internet speed that we need.
My beloved Hivers that's all for the information about speeding up the internet that I can give to everyone to keep our survival with the Blockchain. Thank you for taking the time to read this important information.
An unstable internet connection can be frustrating. It's so good that you were able to figure out how to make yours better. Thanks for sharing how you did it. This may help others who might be having some challenges. We have had a problematic connection before so we switched to Starlink.
Thank you for your appreciation ma'am @ifarmgirl.
Pleasure is mine. Salamuch 😉
Yes,it's true Sir @edver143 internet is very important in our daily lives.Thank you so much Sir for sharing that very comprehensive information on how to speed up the internet❤️😊
Thank you ma'am @lovinglymers. I featured this article because I this can be a great help to everyone.
Nice! Internet in the PH is the worst, good that the antenna works for you.
