Why is my WiFi so slow? Insufficient coverage, part 1

Download link for inSSIDer: https://www.metageek.com/support/down... One of the most common questions in the world of WiFi is, “Why is my Wifi so slow?” These tutorials are intended for anyone who runs a WiFi network, and especially non-IT-experts, to really help troubleshoot this question to its fullest extent and identify top causes. One of the leading causes of slow WiFi is insufficient coverage. Follow the steps below to check your WiFi signal strength. Step 1: Download the free version of inSSIDer (link above). Step 2: With inSSIDer installed and open, find your wireless network’s name, or SSID, and take note of its signal strength in the Signal column. What do you see? A reliable signal strength to strive for is at least -67 dBm or higher (-60, -50, -40 dbm, etc). For media hungry households with streaming video, you might even want to strive for -60 dBm or higher. Anything lower than this (-70, -80, -90 dBm) means that the AP or router is too far away. The farther away you are from your router or AP, the lower the data rate, meaning slower WiFi. You can read more about signal strength and data rates here. Step 3: Walk around to each area in your home or office environment that requires reliable WiFi and take the same measurements. You can watch as I do this in this video here using Network Snapshots to take room-by-room measurements. Give it a try! If you find that you have poor coverage (-70, -80, -90 dBm, etc.), you will either need to move the AP and client closer to each other, or add another AP or WiFi extender.
