Slow Home Wifi Network Here is Why
There’s a common theme I’ve noticed coming from a lot of my customers recently: “why is my internet so slow?!” “How come my internet keeps dropping out?” “Why does the wifi slow down so much when we use more than a couple of devices?”
These days our internet connection is like our heating and cooling; it just doesn’t feel like home without it.
1. Get a New Router
The most obvious and sometimes best solutions for wifi speed is to upgrade to a new router. For a small – medium, single story house you generally will only need one router.
2. Install Some Wireless Access Points
A simple and often inexpensive solution is to plug in some wireless access points near areas in the house that receive poor wifi coverage. These are often very easy to set up and can quickly fix wifi “dead-spots”.
3. Wired Access Points
This is the best (and unfotunately most difficult) solution for large, multi story homes.
4. Ethernet Points Throughout the House
What if every TV, computer, laptop and other smart device in your house was wired directly to the local network via ethernet? You’d have a very happy household with very fast connectivity!
