Why is the WiFi signal full but the internet speed is still slow?

I believe many of my friends have encountered such a situation? The WiFi signal is full, but why can't you access the Internet? This situation is more annoying than having no WiFi. So how does this happen? How should it be solved? The editor recommends a better method, which is to restart. Generally, many computers and mobile phones can be solved by restarting. If it still cannot be solved, you can refer to the following methods.

1. Router network problem

After the mobile phone is connected to WiFi, it cannot access the Internet normally. There may be a problem with the network, such as dial-up failure and inability to connect. It may also be that the router hardware is damaged or stuck in an infinite loop. Although other devices are shown to be connected to the WiFi environment, they cannot use the network.

2. The device is disabled or limited in speed

If you find that the device's network status is poor after connecting to an unfamiliar WiFi environment, it may be because the router background has been set to disable or limit the speed, causing the device to be unable to use the network normally or the network speed is slow in the WiFi environment.

3. WiFi signal interference

The WiFi signal and network speed of a wireless router will be affected by many factors such as distance and magnetic field. If you place objects such as induction cookers, speakers, microwave ovens, etc. next to the router, the magnetic fields they generate when working will interfere with the wireless signals emitted by the router, thereby affecting network usage.

4. WiFi channel congestion

In some places, wireless routers are placed densely and there are many WiFi signal sources. When these routers work at the same time, the wireless signals generated interfere with each other, causing congestion in the WiFi channel, thereby affecting the WiFi speed. In severe cases, it may even cause the device to be unable to connect or unable to access the Internet normally after connecting to WiFi.

5. WiFi cracked and freeloading

If the device cannot use the network after connecting to WiFi, it may be because the router password has been cracked, the WiFi has been stolen, and multiple devices are connected to the same WiFi, which slows down the WiFi speed and affects network usage.

6. Problems with the receiving device itself

The speed of WiFi is not only related to broadband and router, but also affected by the connected device itself. Some mobile phones may be bumped or dropped during use, and the device's wireless signal receiver may be damaged or aged, which will affect the network speed and even cause the inability to access the Internet.

How to fix slow WiFi speeds

1. Set a complex password

Set a complex password for the wireless router that is a combination of numbers, letters, and symbols, and change the password regularly to prevent freeloaders from cracking the password and affecting network usage. Once a freeloader is discovered, be sure to kick him out and change the WiFi password in a timely manner.

2. Select the appropriate channel

If there are multiple routers running nearby, log in to the router backend and select a suitable WiFi channel for the router to avoid WiFi clustering, which may cause channel congestion and affect network speed.

3. Pay attention to the location of the router

When placing the router, be sure to keep it away from electrical appliances such as induction cookers, microwave ovens, and stereos. It is best to place the router in the center of the room and try to minimize the amount of wireless signals that pass through walls during transmission.

4. Restart your router regularly

***Restarting the router once every week not only allows the router to rest and extend its service life, but also clears the cache garbage generated during the operation of the router to prevent the operation speed from being slowed down and affecting the network speed.

5. Avoid using metal phone cases

Metal phone cases will affect the signal reception ability of the phone. When choosing a phone case for your phone, it is best to avoid using metal phone cases. You can choose some thin and light phone cases.
