How to Get Faster Wi-Fi in your Office and for Remote Workers

Let’s list the bare essentials for life: Air, water, food and faster Wi-Fi.

If you have teenagers, you’ll know that the last one is only just beaten by air…But fast Wi-Fi isn’t just essential to keep our children happy. The reality is that many businesses couldn’t operate without fast Wi-Fi. So how can we get faster Wi-Fi?

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 the following:

• 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?
