Do you have a Mac?
- Turn off your router
- On your Mac, press the alt/option ⌥ key and click on the WiFi 📶 icon
- Select “Open Wireless Diagnostics …”
- Ignore the dialog that opens up
- In the bar on the top go to Window > Scan
- It will show you all the WiFi networks around you
- It will say “Best 2.4Ghz” and “Best 5Ghz” – these are the channels that your router radio should be using for the best performance
- Now turn on your router 📻
- Login to the admin interface
- Set the wireless channel to what was recommended in step 7
I finally found the time to look into this. And I realized the 5Ghz channel set in my router was inefficient. I changed it and my WiFi speeds at home have doubled! 🐫
Oh and this is not just for a Mac. And TMTOWTDI (There’s More Than One Way To Do It)
