Q5: Why my download speed cannot reach the advertised speed rate?
- Devices connected via 2.4GHz WiFi will experience lower speeds than those on 5GHz. Wired connections generally offer higher speeds than wireless.
- Check if multiple users are sharing the connection. Consider limiting their speed or blocking them via the web management page or Speedy WiFi App.
- Verify your ISP's Internet speed and link quality. For example, with a 100 Mbps connection, the maximum download speed is approximately 12.5 Mbps (1 Byte = 8 bits). Actual speeds may vary due to transmission loss.
- Position the router in a central location, away from corners, with all antennas upright, to improve wireless performance.
- Ensure you are using a high-quality Ethernet cable (e.g., Cat 5e or better) to connect the modem's gigabit port to the router.
