Several factors can influence the speed and reliability of a wireless
internet connection. Here are some key considerations:

Distance from the Router:

The farther a device is from the router, the weaker the signal
strength. Walls and obstacles between the device and the router can also impact signal quality.

Interference from Other Devices:

Electronic devices like cordless phones, microwave ovens, and
Bluetooth devices can interfere with WiFi signals, causing disruptions and slowing down the
connection.

Network Congestion:

High usage periods, especially in densely populated areas, can lead to
network congestion. Multiple devices accessing the Internet simultaneously can reduce overall
connection speed.

Router Placement:

The location of the router within your home or office matters. Placing
it in a central, open area can help ensure a more even distribution of the WiFi signal.

WiFi Channel Interference:

Routers operate on different channels, and overlapping channels can
cause interference. Adjusting your router to a less congested channel can improve performance.

Router Capacity and Technology:

Older routers may not support the latest WiFi standards, resulting in
slower speeds. Upgrading to a more advanced router with the latest technology can enhance
performance.

Number of Connected Devices:

The more devices connected to a network, the more bandwidth is shared.
If too many devices are using the internet simultaneously, it can lead to slower speeds for each
device.

Wireless Security Protocols:

Encrypted connections (WPA2, WPA3) provide security but can slightly
impact speed. Choosing an appropriate security protocol is essential for a balance between
security and performance.

Internet Service Provider (ISP) Speed:

The speed of your Internet connection from your ISP is a crucial
factor. Even with a robust WiFi setup, the overall speed is limited by the plan you subscribe
to.

Weather Conditions:

Extreme weather conditions, especially heavy rain and storms, can
affect the wireless signal, causing temporary disruptions or slowdowns.

We work hard to make sure that these factors don’t impact the
reliability and impressive uptime of the service we offer you.

The range of a typical WiFi router can vary depending on factors such
as its make and model, the environment, and potential interference. Generally, a standard WiFi
router can cover a range of around 100 to 150 feet indoors. However, several strategies can help
extend coverage within your home or office:

Optimal Router Placement:

Place the router in a central location, minimizing the number of walls
and obstacles between the router and connected devices. This helps ensure a more even
distribution of the WiFi signal.

Update Router Firmware:

Regularly check for and install firmware updates for your router.
Manufacturers often release updates that can improve performance and coverage.

WiFi Range Extenders:

Use WiFi range extenders or repeaters strategically placed between the
router and areas with weak signal strength. These devices amplify and extend the WiFi signal,
effectively expanding coverage.

Mesh WiFi Systems:

Consider upgrading to a mesh WiFi system, which consists of multiple
nodes placed throughout your home or office. Mesh systems work together to provide seamless
coverage, eliminating dead zones.

Powerline Adapters:

Powerline adapters use your electrical wiring to transmit data.
Connect one adapter to the router and another to an outlet in a different room to extend
coverage without relying solely on wireless signals.

Upgrade to a Dual-Band or Tri-Band Router:

Dual-band routers operate on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, while
tri-band routers include an additional 5GHz band. Utilizing these bands can help distribute
devices more efficiently and reduce interference.

Adjust WiFi Channel:

Check for interference by changing the WiFi channel on your router.
Routers often have an auto mode, or you can manually select a less congested channel to optimize
performance.

Limit Interference from Other Devices:

Reduce interference by placing the router away from devices like
cordless phones, microwaves, and Bluetooth gadgets. These devices can disrupt the WiFi signal
and affect coverage.

Use External Antennas:

Some routers allow the attachment of external antennas. Positioning
these antennas appropriately can enhance the router’s signal strength and coverage.

Consider External Solutions:

In larger homes or offices, you may explore outdoor WiFi solutions,
such as directional antennas or outdoor access points, to extend coverage to outdoor spaces.

The scientific consensus is that exposure to the low levels of radiofrequency (RF)
energy emitted by wireless routers and devices, such as those using WiFi, is generally
considered safe for the public. Numerous studies and reviews by health organizations, including
the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), have
found no conclusive evidence linking the typical use of wireless technologies to adverse health
effects. Use WiFi with confidence!
