wi-fi

Optimising your Wi-Fi:

Set-up

Your Wi-Fi modem should be placed in a central location, clear of obstructions and away from other electrical devices that may cause interference.

Wi-Fi can be sensitive to its environment. If your connection seems slow or unreliable, one or more of the following factors might be the cause:

1. Distance from the Modem

   • The farther you are from your modem/router, the weaker the signal. Walls, floors, and furniture in between can make it worse.

      

Understanding Wi-Fi Standards:

If you’ve ever wondered what those Wi-Fi numbers mean, like Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 6, or the new Wi-Fi 7, you’re not alone! These numbers refer to different generations of Wi-Fi technology, and each one brings improvements in speed, reliability, and how many devices it can support.

Here’s a simple breakdown to help you understand the differences:

Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)

Most modern modems transmit internet data to your Wi-Fi devices on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies.

In most cases you have the option to select one of these frequencies to connect your device.

By default, Dodo supplied modems use a feature called Band Steering.
