Great Wi-Fi is More Than Distance
Your Close Enough, There's Just Too Many of You
When homeowners think about Wi-Fi, they often focus on distance—being close to the “Wi-Fi thing” means fast speeds, while moving farther away means slower performance. While that’s partly true, most homes actually hit the limits of their wireless capabilities due to other factors long before distance comes into play.
Your Internet is Fast Enough, You Just Can't Use It!
When devices struggle with slow internet speeds, the first instinct is often to call the provider and pay for faster service. However, most homes already have enough speed coming in to power a SpaceX launch—it’s just not being accessed properly indoors. Sitting in any room, you’re essentially trying to empty a river with a straw.
A Few Things to Consider
We’re overloading our Wi-Fi! Most devices rely solely on wireless connections, either because they don’t support hardwiring or aren’t near a network jack. Connecting everything in your home wirelessly puts significant strain on your Wi-Fi system.
Get Anything You Can Off Wi-Fi!
Hardwire as many devices as possible! Start with your Smart TVs, then move on to cameras, and any other devices equipped with a network jack.
More Points of Accessing Wi-Fi - Access Points
Boost your Wi-Fi performance by adding more access points! This ensures better connections for all your devices, reducing congestion and providing stronger, faster coverage throughout your home or office. When too many devices connect to a single access point, it becomes overloaded, leading to slower speeds and poor performance. Spreading connections across multiple access points can keep your network running smoothly and efficiently.
