How to get faster Wi-Fi in your office and for remote workers

These are the things that affect Wi-Fi speeds

Slow Wi-Fi can be down to a single fault or it can be a combination of factors. When we’re investigating Wi-Fi speeds, we will look at:

• What bandwidth do you have available from your provider?
• How old is your Wi-Fi box? (this is called a router)
• Is your router’s software (known as firmware) up-to-date?
• What kind of coverage do you get from that router?
• How does the physical layout of your office or home affect the signal?
• Do you have extenders or access points to cover a larger area?
• How is your Wi-Fi setup? Is it optimised so different channels aren’t fighting each other? Are you using up-to-date standards that all your devices can access?
• Is there any interference from other technology?
• How many devices are using it, and what for?
• How old are the devices connected to Wi-Fi?
