Your Wi-Fi speed depends on more than just your broadband plan. 🏠📶
Even if you have a high-speed Mahek Broadband connection, your home environment, router placement, and connected devices can significantly affect how fast the internet feels on Wi-Fi.
⚙️ 1. Common Factors That Affect Wi-Fi Speed
| Factor | How It Affects Your Speed | Tips to Improve |
|---|---|---|
| Router Placement | If your router is hidden behind walls, furniture, or placed in a corner, signals weaken. | Keep your router in an open, central spot — ideally 4–5 feet high. |
| Wi-Fi Band (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz) | 2.4 GHz gives wider range but lower speed; 5 GHz gives faster speed but shorter range. | For best results, use 5 GHz on nearby devices and 2.4 GHz for far rooms. |
| Number of Connected Devices | Each device shares available bandwidth. | Disconnect unused devices or use Dual Band to split load. |
| Interference from Other Electronics | Microwaves, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, or metal objects can disrupt Wi-Fi signals. | Keep router away from such interference sources. |
| Router Age / Quality | Older or low-end routers can’t handle higher speeds. | Upgrade to a Dual Band or Wi-Fi 6 router for better performance. |
| Walls & Building Material | Thick walls, especially with metal or concrete, absorb signals. | Use Wi-Fi extenders or mesh routers for large homes. |
| Background Apps | Smart TVs, mobiles, or PCs may auto-download updates in the background. | Pause auto-updates or schedule them at night. |
💡 Even small changes in router position or connected devices can improve Wi-Fi speed instantly.
📶 2. Router Recommendations
| Plan Speed | Recommended Router Type |
|---|---|
| Up to 40 Mbps | Single Band (2.4 GHz) |
| 50 – 100 Mbps | Dual Band (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz) |
| 150 Mbps + | Wi-Fi 6 Dual Band Router |
⚙️ Mahek Broadband provides Free Routers with new connections and upgrades — depending on your plan.
