<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-2"><strong>WiFi and Wired ethernet</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">WiFi is a networking technology that allows mobile devices to connect to the Internet wirelessly or to facilitate wireless communication with each other. It's a technology that uses radio waves to provide a high-speed internet connection to devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standard.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Ethernet, on the other hand, is a standard communication protocol and is the most commonly used technology in wired local area networks (LANs). Ethernet refers to the physical cable or internet cable through which data travels.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-10"><strong>The problem of wifi slow but wired fast</strong></h2>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Why is my wifi so slow compared to wired? The wired network always gives a more stable connection than Wifi which is always true. Because wifi connection will be affected by a lot more things than a wired network. That thing can be obstacles such as house walls, wave obstructions, electromagnetic signals, or wifi waves of the next house... All these factors will make the wifi network unstable and cause some problems like:</p>

<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Lost connection: sometimes you will drop the network without understanding the reason.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">High latency: due to environmental factors, wifi ping increases abnormally.</p>
	</li>
	<li dir="ltr">
	<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Reduced speed: certainly the transfer speed will decrease. This causes slow WiFi speeds and gives a somewhat worse user experience.</p>

<h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-23"><strong>What can I do to improve wifi speed?</strong></h2>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-25"><strong>Move the router</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Why is my Xfinity wifi so slow? The problem may lie in the router. Have you tried moving your router? Router antennas are designed to transmit signals in a quasi-radial form, in their standard configuration.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">One piece of advice for you is that you should place the router somewhere between rooms that need the best wifi signal.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Move the router" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221004/Wifi-slow-but-wired-fast_2.jpg" style="display:block; height:400px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Move the router</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-33"><strong>Change the channels your router uses</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Changing channels is another thing to try. Most routers today transmit their wifi on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, using specific frequency bands in these spectrum classes.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">To change the channel, you need to log in to your router's dashboard. You will also need to enter your administrator login details. If they aren't present in this case either, you can usually find the standard login details for your <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_service_provider">ISP</a> router online.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Change your router’s channels" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221004/Wifi-slow-but-wired-fast_3.jpg" style="display:block; height:282px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-42"><strong>Update your router firmware</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Maybe your router's firmware hasn't been updated since you installed it. Some newer routers will update their software automatically. Others, especially older models, do not. And you can understand why.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The update process requires a router restart, which can leave you without an Internet connection for several minutes and, importantly, lead to the thinking your network is down.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Update your router firmware" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221004/Wifi-slow-but-wired-fast_4.jpg" style="display:block; height:299px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Update your router firmware</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-50"><strong>Add access point</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Think of access points like creating a wireless network around your house. They transmit Internet signals to each other to create a wireless network. They are made for large spaces with multiple floors.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Add access point" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221004/Wifi-slow-but-wired-fast_5.jpg" style="display:block; height:334px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>Add access point</em></p>

<h3 dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify" id="tag-57"><strong>Turn off unnecessary connected devices</strong></h3>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Does having too many devices on wifi slow it down? Yes, the number of connected devices slows down your wifi. So, disconnect some devices from wifi when you don't need them.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><img alt="Disconnect some unnecessary devices" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20221004/Wifi-slow-but-wired-fast_6.jpg" style="display:block; height:332px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:640px"></p>
