The speed of a Wi-Fi network can be affected by many factors - from the position of the router, to the number of users and cables, to the choice of Internet provider.
The router must be in the right place
Speed ​​can also be affected by the position where the router is placed, as well as the range of the network you are using. It is generally recommended that routers be placed in an open area and not on the floor. Experts even suggest placing the router high up on a shelf to maximize reach.
Additionally, band selection during connection is important. Routers emit a signal in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and this can usually be selected in the Wi-Fi list when connecting a device.
Although the 5GHz network can transmit higher speeds, the problem is that the network reach at this frequency is less. This means that 2.4GHz should be the first choice for devices that are far from the router because it penetrates hard barriers like walls and floors more easily. A slightly thicker wall can completely block the 5GHz network.
5GHz, on the other hand, is recommended for devices located near the router.
Check the speed
A very simple way to find out if your internet is working as promised by your internet provider is to run a speed test.
The most famous free tool used for this is "Spidtest" ( Speedtest ).
