Troubleshooting When the Network Is Slow

By default, dual-band routers and APs use the same network name on both the 2.4 GHz band and the 5 GHz band.

• It may be useful to segment the traffic.
• The simplest way to segment traffic is to rename one of the wireless networks.

To improve the range of a wireless network, ensure the wireless router or AP location is free of obstructions, such as furniture, fixtures, and tall appliances.

• These block the signal, which shortens the range of the WLAN.
• If this still does not solve the problem, then a Wi-Fi Range Extender or deploying the Powerline wireless technology may be used.
