Wi-Fi speeds can be determined by more than just the package you pay for. Let’s go over some strategic ways to increase your speed.

A multi-band router may be the simple game-changer you need. It may feel obvious, but if your router doesn’t offer multiple frequency bands, you may be missing out. While a single-band router operates on the 2.4GHz frequency, dual and tri-band routers give you additional bandwidth on the 5GHz frequency which transmits data faster. Connect your smart speakers, thermostats, and cameras to the 2.4GHz frequency and leave the 5GHz to your computer or other devices requiring more bandwidth. With the 5GHz frequency, it’s important to be strategic of placement. While it is faster, its connection may be more easily dulled by walls and furniture unlike the 2.4GHz so keep it high above any obstacles and close to your most important tech. Consider your upload speed when looking at Wi-Fi packages! Usually, internet packages provide different speeds for upload and download. While in the past, many tended to prioritize download speeds, it is becoming even more important to get important documents uploaded in a timely manner! Make sure to choose wisely based on your needs.

There are so many ways to get your team running faster than ever, wherever you’re working from, and we are here to make it happen. Call ACS when you are ready to work faster.
