Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to have multiple access points instead of one powerful router?
Yes. Multiple properly positioned wired access points provide more consistent coverage than relying on one high-powered router.
What causes WiFi interference and how can it be reduced?
Microwaves, cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, thick walls, and neighbouring networks can interfere with WiFi signals. Adjusting router placement and improving network layout helps reduce interference issues.
Can you fix WiFi dead zones in extensions or kitchens?
Yes. Rear extensions, kitchens, and conservatories often block or weaken WiFi signals due to brickwork, steel supports, and insulation materials. Installing a wired access point in the affected area restores strong, reliable coverage.
What’s the difference between 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi?
2.4GHz offers wider coverage but lower speeds, while 5GHz provides faster speeds over shorter distances. Modern networks use both for balanced performance.
Do mesh systems work better than standard routers?
Mesh systems can improve coverage, but performance is best when nodes are connected using wired backhaul rather than relying solely on wireless communication.
What’s the difference between WiFi extenders and access points?
Extenders repeat wireless signals and often reduce speed, while wired access points create new strong signal zones.
