Our Director of I.T. Daniel Licon showed us this today & we just had to share it with you all. One of our biggest request right now is that our clients are spending there money monthly with there internet provider, but have dead zones or low WiFi signal in parts of there house. Digital Delight has a great solution for that and this artical illustrates it with a physicis animation. It's pretty interesting to see all of the factors that go into play & the natural interferance our houses or offices have that block the WiFi signal. If you are having this problem with dead zones or low signal please reach out to us, because we can maximize your WiFi signal throughout your entire property and it does NOT come with a monthly fee. So don't let your cable investment go to waste. Contact us today because we have your solution.
Title: Physicist shows why your WiFi sucks in that one room

If WiFi can track a heartbeat through walls, why can't I get internet in my corner bathroom? Jason Cole was trying to figure that out too, but unlike me, he's a PhD student in physics. So he mapped his own apartment and assigned refraction values to the walls (shown above), then applied so-called Helmholtz equations to model the electromagnetic waves. As detailed in his (math-drenched) blog, the best spot for his router was where you'd expect: directly in the center. Since that was out of the question, he was still able to get "tendrils" of internet by placing it in the corner of the apartment. His experiment implies that even in a distant room you could eke some connectivity by judiciously shifting around your laptop. Some commenters want him to turn his equations into a WiFi mapping web service -- unfortunately, he thinks the idea is "unfeasible" due to the processing time and assumptions made.
