Communication is one of the keys to business success in the 21st century, and that typically involves a reliable Wi-Fi internet connection. Are you happy with the way your system is currently performing? If not, it may be time for an upgrade. Below are some of the surest signs you need a new Wi-Fi setup.

How to Tell You Need to Improve Your Business Wi-Fi

1. Dead Zones

If your office contains "dead zones" where users cannot connect reliably to your Wi-Fi system, you may need a new router. In fact, if your facility comprises multiple levels or more than 2,000 square feet, you should probably invest in multiple Wi-Fi access points to provide dependable access to users, wherever they are on the premises. This minor investment will improve productivity, free your employees to work where it's most efficient, and speed up information exchange.

2. Slow Connections

Wi-FiIf you're experiencing slow page loads, file downloads or uploads that seem to take forever, or backup times that leave you checking your watch, the problem could be with your equipment. Wi-Fi communication standards improve regularly, but you usually need the latest equipment to take advantage of it. A new router designed to handle the most recent communications standards can improve connection speeds and help you avoid dropped signals.

3. Your Router Is No Longer Supported

As hardware becomes older and displaced by newer models, vendors and manufacturers may stop supporting it. In other words, the latest firmware updates and security patches will no longer apply to your equipment. When this happens, your system becomes vulnerable to outside meddling and should be replaced with equipment featuring the latest security measures.
