why your wifi is slow even though your internet is fast

Fast Internet but Slow WiFi? Here’s Why

You’ve upgraded your internet.

Your provider says you’ve got a fast connection.

But your phone in the bedroom still struggles to load a webpage.

What’s going on?

The problem may not be your internet connection at all.

Internet vs WiFi

Your internet connection is the service coming into your property.

WiFi is the wireless network distributing that connection around your home.

If your router is in one corner of the house, your bedroom might be several walls and metres away.

The further the signal travels, the weaker it can become.

Common causes of poor WiFi include:

Poor router placement

A router hidden behind furniture or inside a cupboard isn’t going to perform at its best.

Large homes

One router may simply not be enough.

Thick walls

Concrete, brick and other materials can significantly reduce WiFi performance.

Interference

Neighbouring networks and other wireless equipment can interfere with your signal.

Too many devices

Modern homes can have dozens of connected devices.

The solution

Rather than simply buying a faster internet plan, consider having your WiFi network assessed.

Install IT can design and install WiFi systems that provide reliable coverage throughout your home or property.

Fast internet deserves great WiFi.
