Why your office Wi-Fi feels slow

Common causes of poor office Wi-Fi and how to fix them.

Slow Wi-Fi is not always caused by your internet package. The problem is often inside the building.

Router placement

A single router in a corner cupboard cannot cover a whole office. Walls and metal shelving reduce signal strength.

Too many devices on one access point

Phones, laptops, printers and cameras all share capacity. Additional access points spread the load.

No separate guest network

Keeping visitors on a guest network protects business systems and helps you manage bandwidth.

Old equipment

Older routers and switches can limit an otherwise good connection.
