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.
