Networks

Separate internet speed, Wi-Fi coverage and local network capacity before spending money on equipment.

Where does the connection actually fail?

A slow video call, an unreachable printer and a Wi-Fi dead spot can have different causes. Test one wired device first, note when the problem happens and collect evidence before replacing your router.

Test wired and wireless connections separately.
List simultaneous calls, transfers and cloud applications.
Mark problem areas and building materials on a floor plan.
Ask for a coverage survey and a documented handover.
