(Online)在人们被要求呆在室内的时候，与朋友进行在线游戏可能会非常困难。当大多数人在家时，互联网服务往往会失去很多质量，一群朋友如何享受没有延迟和各种问题的多人游戏？
连接两台电脑玩多人局域网(LAN)游戏
做到这一点的最佳方法之一是通过Wi-Fi建立(Wi-Fi)局域网(Local Area Network)( LAN ) 方。如今，并不是每个人都有时间设置以太网(Ethernet)电缆，因此，使用Wi-Fi更容易，也更省时。在这种情况下，您所需要的只是一个可用的无线网络、朋友和所需的视频游戏。
现在，我们应该指出，通过Wi-Fi玩游戏需要您的计算机上的游戏服务器，或者通过网络租用并连接到您的Wi-Fi路由器的游戏服务器。
- (Set)为客人设置无线网络(Wireless Network)
- 为您的无线路由器找到最佳位置
- 增强微弱的 Wi-Fi 信号
让我们更详细地讨论这个问题。
1]为客人设置(Set)您的无线网络(Wireless Network)
不打算解释如何为您的路由器设置游戏服务器，因为每个路由器彼此不同，并且游戏服务器服务在设置过程方面通常不一样。现在，首先，您必须创建一个访客网络或第二个网络。但请记住，目前并非市场上的每个路由器都支持第二个网络。
如果您的路由器支持并行无线网络(wireless network)，那么使用 2.4GHz 标准会很有意义。是的，我们知道它比 5GHz 慢，但它支持更长的范围，这意味着网络上的人们可以分散更多而不是在拥挤的区域。
请务必创建一个易于识别的SSID和WPA2安全密码，然后与您的朋友分享。
2]为您的无线路由器找到(Locate)最佳位置
下一步，也是最重要的一步，就是在家里找到放置无线路由器的最佳位置。为了让家里或公寓里的每个人都能获得良好的信号，不应该有太多的墙壁干扰信号。
因此，一般的想法是将无线路由器放置在中心位置(place the wireless router in a central position)，然后确保天线始终远离墙壁并指向不同的方向。
3]增强微弱的Wi-Fi信号
如果由于某种原因没有将信号传递给LAN方中的每个人，那么下一个最佳步骤是投资购买 Wi-Fi 增强器。在这方面，再多的软件也无济于事；因此，我们建议查看外部硬件。
我们推荐Rock Space的(Rock Space)Wi-Fi 范围扩展器(Wi-Fi Range Extender)，因为它的面积超过 1,000 平方米。英尺范围，并支持高达 700Mbps 的速度。它非常强大，并且确实应该在整个过程中提供很大的改进。
此外，网络上遇到问题的人应该考虑他们是否使用旧的Windows计算机。较新(Newer)的型号在保持强信号方面往往要好得多，因此如果有旧设备，请尽可能升级到较新的设备。

How to connect two laptops using WiFi to play LAN games
Online gaming with friends can be qυite diffiсult at a time when folks are required to stay indoors. When most folkѕ are home, the internet service tends to losе much of its quality, how does a bunch of frіends go about enjoying a multiplayer game free оf lag and all sorts of problems?
Connect two PCs to play multiplayer LAN games
One of the best ways to do this is by setting up a Local Area Network (LAN) party over Wi-Fi. Not everyone these days has time to set up Ethernet cables, therefore, using Wi-Fi is much easier and less time-consuming. In a situation such as this, all you need at your disposal, is a working wireless network, friends, and the required video games.
Now, we should point out that playing over Wi-Fi requires a game server on your computer, or one leased over the web and connected to your Wi-Fi router.
- Set up your Wireless Network for guest
- Locate the best position for your wireless router
- Boost weak Wi-Fi signal
Let us discuss this in more detail.
1] Set up your Wireless Network for guest
Were not going to explain how to set up a game server to your router because each router differs from the other, and game server services are usually not the same in terms of the set-up process. Now, first, you must create a guest network or a second network. But bear in mind that not every router on the market right now supports a second network.
If your router supports the parallel wireless network, then it would make a lot of sense to use the 2.4GHz standard. Yes, we know that it is slower than 5GHz, but it supports a longer range, which means, folks on the network can spread out more instead of being in a congested area.
Be sure to create an easy to recognize SSID and WPA2 security password, then share it among your friends.
2] Locate the best position for your wireless router
The next step, and one of the most important of all, is to find the best spot in your house to place the wireless router. For everyone in the house or apartment to get a good signal, there shouldn’t be too many walls interfering with the signal.
So, the general idea is to place the wireless router in a central position, and after that, be sure to point the antennas away from walls and in separate directions at all times.
3] Boost weak Wi-Fi signal
If for some reason the signal is not being delivered to every person in the LAN party, then the next best step is to invest in a Wi-Fi booster. No amount of software will help in this regard; therefore, we suggest looking at external hardware.
We recommend the Wi-Fi Range Extender from Rock Space due to its over 1,000sq. ft range, and its support for up to 700Mbps speed. It’s quite powerful and should indeed deliver great improvements throughout.
Additionally, folks on the network who are experiencing problems should consider if they are using old Windows computers. Newer models tend to be much better at holding a strong signal, so if an old device is in place, upgrade to a newer one if possible.
