Wi-Fi Signal Strength Weakening
Greetings! I have a question about the wi-fi signal from my Telus home internet weakening. I upgraded to Telus 150 home internet last March, and I've noticed that the wi-fi signal isn't as strong...
- Rebooting your equipment will not harm it. If you live in an area with lots of Wi-Fi signals or busy RF signals changing the channel your Wi-Fi broadcasts on can help significantly a quick Google search or a YouTube video will show you how to do this it's very easy. If that doesn't work I would recommend calling telus and getting them to send out a tech to diagnose further.
First test your speed on the laptop or pc that is hardwired to the modem and google speedtest and run test. You should get result 150mbps down and up. If not call Telus tech support to troubleshoot why you are not reaching speeds that you paying for. If you get 150mbps results then is most likely too many ppl on same channel as Matt said try to change that. I don't use Telus modem mine is bridged and I'm running unifi gear iny house where I can eneble network offloading and all is working fine. Also depends where your modem is and where are you when using WiFi? Try to go next to the modem and do speed test and see what you get. When I want to see who's running wifi on what channel if you have android download app called Net analizer a run it then you will see what are the channels what every one is using. Good luck
