 INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) is widely used in our daily lives and it also refers to the

different kinds of local area networks (LAN). Wi-Fi is also a way to connect to the

internet for getting information. Wi-Fi is also used in our lives by putting us online and

book plane tickets and find directions if he/she is lost.

Without Wi-Fi it is hard to get information, find directions. And without Wi-Fi our

lives will become harder because without it we cannot do our assignments, our research

and get information that we can use for our daily lives.

Objectives of the Study

The objectives of the study aimed to:

1. Determine which Medium is Suitable to extend the range of Wi-Fi.

2. Making People’s lives easier by extending the range of Wi-Fi.

 MATERIALS AND METHODS

Gathering of Materials

The researchers gathered different types of materials that can

extend the ranges of Wi-Fi (Metal Tube, Antenna and Foil) were purchased at Gaisano in

Zone V.

Preparations and Distribution of Materials

This study utilized 1 antenna, 1 metal tube and 1 roll of foil that

served as different types of mediums. The distribution of materials followed.

Table 1. Distribution of Materials

Treatments No. of materials Used Different types of
mediums
T0 1 Wi-Fi
T1 1 Metal Tube
T2 1 Antenna
T3 1 Foil

Experimental Designs and Treatments

The said experiment utilized the CRD (Completely Randomized Design) in

performing the experiment with 4 treatments in 3 replicates. The experimental table is

where as below.

Treatments Range Extended
T0 R1 R2 R3
T1 R1 R2 R3
T2 R1 R2 R3
T3 R1 R2 R3
Test in the Range Extension of Wi-Fi

The researchers gathered the different types of mediums (metal tube, antenna

and foil). On the cable with the help of Erish’s father, the researchers added the medium

and tested how far was the extension of each medium.

 ANALYSIS, DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION

Table 3. Range of Wi-Fi Connections of Different Mediums

Treatment Amount of Range Mean
Extended(m)
T0 (Wi-Fi) 56m 51m 40m 49m
T1 (Metal 65m 59m 61m 61.7
Tube)
T2 68m 66m 69m 67.7
(Antenna)
T3 (Foil) 67m 63m 65m 65

Analysis
The Wi-Fi’s range was extended by T2 (Antenna). On the other hand, the metal
tube has the smallest range extended. This is due to the fact that the antenna has more
amplifying power to increase the range of Wi-Fi.

Conclusion
The antenna is the most ideal medium to increase the Wi-Fi’s range.
