Whenever a new wifi router/network is set up in a place I’ve lived, the wifi only works within the immediate confines of the house or apartment. Wifi works through some walls, but how do localized wifi networks (for businesses and stuff too) know where exactly to stop connecting?
In: Technology
* It doesn’t.
* WiFi starts to weaken when it has to go through walls, especially thick or metal based walls.
* It may seem like a coincidence that wifi only really works inside the places we’ve installed it but really what’s happening is we have developed wifi strong enough to work in our homes and we haven’t really put money into mass marketing wifi that goes farther.
