Wi-Fi Range vs. Broadband Speed

Understanding the difference between Wi-Fi signal attenuation and actual fiber broadband speed.

2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz Routers

Older single-band 2.4 GHz routers are prone to household signal interference and wall absorption. When you move further from the router, Wi-Fi speeds drop drastically even when optical fiber delivery is 100% optimal.

Recommended Solution

Upgrade to a modern Gigabit Dual-Band AC/AX Wi-Fi Router. The 5 GHz wireless band provides higher wireless throughput and eliminates buffering in multi-room homes.

Live Speed Testing

To test your accurate broadband speed, stand within 5 feet of your router or plug an Ethernet LAN cable directly into your computer.
