Slow internet despite having a high-speed plan is usually due to 2.4 GHz band saturation, interference from other devices, poor modem placement, or too many devices connected simultaneously to the home network.
Solutions to optimize your Wi-Fi signal:
- Connect to the 5 GHz or 6 GHz band: These offer higher speeds and less interference than the traditional 2.4 GHz band over short distances.
- Relocate the modem: Place the router in a central, elevated position away from thick walls, mirrors, or appliances like microwaves.
- Change the transmission channel: Access your modem settings and select a less congested channel to reduce interference from your neighbors' networks.
