Slow WiFi despite a strong connection? You should check that
It happens a lot: the Wi-Fi signal is strong enough, but the link keeps dropping. This could be caused by a lot of different things, but most of the time, it’s just a few.
This is something you should check:
This could happen because of other WLAN networks in the area using the same channel, which could cause the link to be lost. You can use the WIFI Analyzer tool to help you with this. Another thing this program lets you do is find out which channel isn’t being used much in your area. This way, you can change your network to fit that channel. In our useful tip, you can learn how this works.
Check to see if the WLAN is even turned on on your computer. It’s that easy. A lot of laptops have a switch that lets you turn WiFi on and off. These buttons are usually not noticeable, so it’s easy to press them by accident.
3. Moving the router might help, even if your device is close to it. Interference sources, like cordless phones or radios, can change the signal without being noticed.
4. In a network, an IP address can only be used once. Trouble can start quickly, though, if two things try to use the same IP address. Because of this, it is best to always use the IP numbers that the DHCP server gives you and, if needed, to give them static addresses.
5. It’s also possible that your network card can’t handle the way your WLAN network is set up. This is the case: find out about your tools. Keeping your drivers up to date can also help with this.
