Your WiFi is slow because of THIS... (and how to fix it!)

Why does your WiFi suck? Why is it slow?
Today we chat about why your WiFi sucks and it may be nothing you can do about it.
This is because of WiFi interference and there is nothing you can do about it.
So how much should we worry about other WiFi networks interfering with our WiFi speed?
What can we do about the many wifi hotspots and access points that are blasting their WiFi signal everywhere?
Do they really impact our internet and wifi speed?

I set to find out!

Love the analogies used in your videos. Though I am a Systems Engineer and understand this stuff to a great level, I thought the analogies were perfect for those who are not so familiar.

I had this problem. So I logged into my router settings using a wifi analyser app.Then changed the channel. Many thanks Liron for this tip.

This is a great video! It clearly explains why Wi-Fi interference can be a frustrating issue, and then offers solutions viewers can try to optimize their connection. Thanks for the helpful tips!

My friend, I'm very concerned for you. You don't have enough routers!! On a serious note, while I'm not super techie, I do enjoy having better speeds and have subscribed to your channel. Keep on puttn' it out there for the old guys in the room :)

I need to watch this a few more times to understand but your videos are so helpful to me. 😊👍 Appreciate what you do.

Great video, I do that almoust ever day last 2 years.The bigest problem is when every channel is busy and in my case I have 11 channel.Respect from Bosnia, Sarajevo.

Your main LINKSYS router is designed to have the antennae pointed in a vertical orientation. This will help with signal propagation throughout the area surrounding the router. An antenna's radiating signals are perpendicular to their axis. If they're in a horizontal orientation, the signals propagate up to the sky and down into the ground instead of out. The only time you'll benefit is if you're directly at 90 degrees from the antenna's pointing direction. Keep the unit flat and the antennas pointing up.

One of the best practical advices and very good channel, thank you Liron !

May need a larger parabolic shaped reflector around the router in order to increase range. Soda cans appear to small from your test and just mess up the antenni. Also, it would be interesting to see if the receive speed is the sample as the transmit speed.

This was quite informative. I like learning this kind of stuff. Thank you! 😃

Sir, can you share with me which app you use on the phone? wifi analy? or what?
thanks

[ConorORegan]

I love how much effort you put into this video

[lenhunter]

Great information and advice as always, even better coming from someone with a familiar accent.

So having all the other routers and that extender on actually made your connection worse?

[gillquinn]

Hi Liron, I'm UK based and have a Sky broadband with router and repeater and extender installed to get signal around my house. Should all be set to use the same channel or each to different channels? Does cci happen between the devices in my own home? Ditto if I use an old router as a repeater or extender? It would be a nice extension to discuss this as part of this video or as a follow-up.
Thanks,
Gerry

As much as I understand the need sometimes for wireless. . . .boy do I LOVE my CAT 6 !

[Botzz]

should i keep my netgear xr500 router on auto channel select or choose a specific channel ?

[chuckb]

where did you get that wifi tester app

[louf]

I like the Faraday Cage idea. If I build one around my house, I will also have a great lighting protection system 😁

Hi. When I connect my laptop (Windows 10) to the modem (TP-Link-w9970), it is very slow in all modes (wifi or lan), except bridge mode. My smartphone's connection is working well. Could you please assist me in resolving this?
