Chapter 12. Troubleshooting: I Can Connect, but It’s Slow
What if you can connect to your wireless network, it stays connected just fine, but it seems like it is slow? To answer that, we first need to understand what to expect from a wireless network. Is it living up to its potential, or is some problem keeping the network from being as fast as it could be?
A wireless network can be slower than expected for a few different reasons:
• Broadband speed limits Internet access speed
• Operating at a slower wireless standard than expected
• Signal degradation due to interference
We explore each of these possibilities in this chapter.
