WiFi Networks in Tunbridge Wells
Poor WiFi can be frustrating. DHTech will scan your network and identify the reason(s) for dead spots in your home, such as the position of your WiFi router or your signal conflicting with other nearby signals. We can look at all the WiFi channels in your local neighbourhood and determine if you are on the right channel.
There are many options to improve WiFi performance, including network extenders, access points and power plug adapters. DHTech can advise on, supply and install the necessary equipment to resolve your issues.
2.4Ghz & 5Ghz Bands
Most modern equipment is compatible with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies; it’s advisable to ensure your router supports these bands to significantly improve your WiFi connectivity. The 2.4GHz band, while versatile and capable of supporting speeds up to 600Mbps (router-dependent), can become congested and is susceptible to interference from various electronic devices, such as phones and baby monitors. On the other hand, the 5GHz band offers a clearer signal and can support higher speeds of up to 1300Mbps, though its range is shorter compared to 2.4GHz.
WiFi Security
The security of your network and personal data is paramount; we ensure that your router is equipped with the best encryption available. DHTech can verify that your security is active and configure optimal settings to safeguard against unauthorized access to your broadband and computers.
WiFi Troubleshooting
Slow broadband speeds can stem from various problems, including absent filters or defective cabling. DHTech is equipped to examine and rectify your system to optimize speed. It’s advisable to visit your broadband provider’s website for a line speed test. For BT phone lines, simply input your telephone number and postcode to receive an estimate of your line’s potential speed.
You can’t expect the same speed on a WiFi device as on a computer directly connected to a router via Ethernet cable. WiFi speed will also depend on the capabilities of your device.
WiFi Scanning Service
DHTech offers a cost-effective WiFi scanning service which suggests ways to improve your signal. We use a powerful dual-band spectrum analyser that measures WiFi and non-WiFi activity in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It uses radio frequency (RF) data to provide you with a real-time visual overview of your WiFi network environment. Apps on smart devices don’t offer the entire RF range, so they don’t give a clear picture of what’s causing interference.
