JAKARTA - Internet is now an important part of everyday life. With the development of technology, people are encouraged to carry out various activities to support work productivity through the internet.

Currently, Wi-Fi is one of the most needed devices by the entire community as a solution for connecting devices to the internet network.

However, it is undeniable that there are other problems faced by society, where slow Wi-Fi connections have a negative impact on work productivity.

Based on the results of the Speedtest Global Index survey as of December 2021, Indonesia is the country with the lowest internet speed in Southeast Asia, ranking 115 out of 138 countries.

There are several factors that cause a slow Wi-Fi network, both internal factors, such as damage to the router device or Wi-Fi signal interference, as well as external factors that can cause Wi-Fi not to run optimally, including the available infrastructure capacity, signal range, up to the number of connected devices.

Here are some tips that can be used to help with slow Wi-Fi networks:

Pay Attention to Router Position

Wi-Fi is a wireless device, in which its connection is greatly influenced by objects and their placement. The ideal position of the router is to be placed in an open area in the room or the main floor where internet activities are widely used.

Avoid placing the router near electronic items such as televisions, microwaves, and other objects that can weaken the Wi-Fi signal. Also, avoid places that can block the spread of the network, such as the walls of the house, and placing the router in a place that is too low. Also, make sure that the router's antenna is perpendicular, to ensure optimal distribution of the Wi-Fi signal throughout the room.

Managing Internet Usage

It is undeniable that the internet offers various choices of activities for its users, both to meet personal needs to professional needs. Many people often do wrong things that can unknowingly affect the quality of the internet. One of the steps that can be taken is to control the priority of using each device connected to Wi-Fi so that the internet network is optimal.

This can be started by ensuring that all Wi-Fi users are not accessing the internet with strenuous activities such as streaming video at the same time.

Use a Router with the Latest Technology

Often times the Wi-Fi signal is considered to be the main cause of problems in a slow Wi-Fi connection, but in fact, choosing the right router is also one of the keys to optimizing internet quality.

This is in accordance with the statement of the British media regulator, Ofcom, which states that one solution to ensure fast internet is to use the right router. One of them, is by considering the use of the latest technology, such as Wi-Fi 6 technology which is the latest network standard.

Wi-Fi 6 technology allows users to get the convenience of internet access at a higher speed, besides this technology supports the use of more devices at the same time without reducing Wi-Fi performance.

“A fast, stable, and evenly distributed internet network connection in all parts of the house is very much needed by today's society. With Wi-Fi 6 technology, this device is here to increase people's productivity with maximum comfort and the latest technology," said Biko Yoshia as Marketing Manager of TP-Link Indonesia.
