Physical Barriers and Wi-Fi Speed

Physical obstructions, such as walls, floors, or filled fish tanks, can reduce Wi-Fi signal strength and slow down your internet speed.

Wired Connection Advantage

Wired connections, like Ethernet cables, generally offer the fastest and most stable internet speeds because they are less prone to interference.

Wi-Fi Speed Variability

Wireless connections (Wi-Fi) can be affected by various factors like network traffic, the distance from the router, and obstacles, resulting in varying speeds.

Wi-Fi Standard and Speed

The type of Wi-Fi standard used (e.g., Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 7) can impact the maximum speed you can achieve on your Wi-Fi network.
