Tech Tip: Instantly Improve Your Wi-Fi Speed & Stability
Slow downloads, choppy video calls, or unreliable cloud access? A quick fix is to connect devices to the 5GHz Wi-Fi band instead of 2.4GHz.
Why 5GHz?
- Faster speeds – perfect for Teams/Zoom, large file transfers, and VoIP
- Less interference – avoids crowded signals from routers, phones, microwaves, and Bluetooth devices
- Better performance in busy offices – more channels mean fewer devices fighting for space
What to switch:
- Look for the Wi-Fi network name with 5G or 5GHz and connect
- If your network uses a single SSID, ask your IT team to enable band-steering so devices automatically prioritise 5GHz
Pro Tip:
Place Wi-Fi access points high up, in open spaces, and away from walls or electronics for optimal coverage. A small move can make a big difference.
