If these sound familiar, you’re not alone. Business leaders across Ohio face the same frustrations.
Because weak Wi-Fi is caused by interference, network congestion, or outdated equipment—not your location in the office.
Upgrade routers, add access points, reduce device load, and optimize placement. For long-term reliability, use a managed IT service to monitor your network.
Many users experience slow speeds, frequent disconnections, or complete loss of internet access. These issues often result from weak Wi-Fi signals, interference from nearby devices, router misconfiguration, or environmental obstacles such as thick walls or congested Wi-Fi channels.
A simple first fix is to restart your modem and router, which often clears temporary issues and restores stability. Repositioning your router—placing it in a central, elevated location—can also significantly improve signal strength and performance.
Some devices may be more affected by interference from other electronics, outdated router firmware, or outdated Wi-Fi adapter drivers. Congested Wi-Fi channels can also cause device-specific instability. Switching your router to a less crowded Wi-Fi channel often resolves the issue.
If your home has Wi-Fi “dead zones,” using an extender or mesh system can help. Extenders provide a low-cost way to increase coverage but may reduce speeds, while mesh systems offer more seamless, whole-home coverage at a higher price point.
Keeping your router firmware updated is essential. Outdated firmware can introduce bugs, reduce performance, and create security vulnerabilities. Regular updates help improve stability and reduce Wi-Fi dropouts.
