Reasons for the poor speed of WiFi wireless internet access

Linking Wi-Fi networks often has problems with poor internet access. Experts in the industry said that the reason is mainly because routers or smart phone software is incompatible with the network.

At present, Wi-Fi access is becoming more and more popular. Over the past two years, Wi-Fi users worldwide have grown at a rate of 20% a year, according to data from Wi-Fi Alliance. At the same time, in China, Mobile, Unicom, telecom three major operators have built 1 million Wi-Fi hotspots. Wi-Fi Alliance chief executive Edgarfigueroa bluntly, the current domestic operators vigorously expand Wi-Fi hotspots, is expected to meet the end of the year 150 million mobile user needs.

At present, the three major operators in Guangdong laid hot spots, more than 70% concentrated in Guangzhou and Shenzhen and other major cities. Because it's not difficult to build Wi-Fi hotspots, and basically only one broadband network cable and one router, there are countless private Wi-Fi hotspots in cities. Wi-Fi is now a growing number of electronic devices, whether residential or chain restaurants, independent cafes, are willing to use Wi-Fi to facilitate the connection of various electronic products.

However, recently many mobile phone users to reporters, in the use of Wi-Fi network in the process of encountering a variety of problems. Nearly 40% users say they are dissatisfied with Wi-Fi, according to a recent survey by an AI media consultancy on the satisfaction of Wi-Fi internet access. Some users point out that many regional operators clearly say there is Wi-Fi, but in fact, users can not find Wi-Fi hotspots. In addition, many users are often unable to link to the Wi-Fi network, or in a large population, originally should be the director of the Wi-Fi area can not access, but had to use 3G Internet.

Reason 1: Incompatible router format

Why mature Wi-Fi technology to provoke a lot of dissatisfaction?

First of all, the use of Wi-Fi network, especially in the home using Wi-Fi network, the most likely to appear a problem is the router, especially foreign brand routers "acclimatized". According to Guangzhou citizen Mr. Chen, he used the router is the price of thousands of dollars previously purchased Cisco brand routers. But since the move, the router has never been used properly. "Wi-Fi is basically not linked. "But strangely, when he asked a technical expert to help him replace a domestic less than 100 yuan of cheap routers, but can smoothly online.

Why is this happening? "Domestic brand routers the biggest advantage is to be able to deal with the domestic complex distribution network environment." According to technical experts Alex introduced, foreign brand routers acclimatized, mainly because the current domestic routers have been upgraded from 54M 802.11G to 150M and 300M 802.11n format. At this point, just spin down--like a 150M or 300M router down to 54M--to smooth the link.

Similar situation also has a lot of ipodtouch users will encounter. Many users are using the 802.11N standard router, but Ipadtouch does not support, therefore, as long as the 802.11n changed back to 802.11G or automatic mode on it.

Reason 2: Smart-phone software is incompatible

Another reason why Wi-Fi access is problematic is that smartphones and tablets are not compatible with the Internet in software. Many users have reported that since the purchase of a new smartphone, it is often not linked Wi-Fi network. For example, mobile phone users Miss Li told reporters that the previous use of Nokia mobile phone can be very comfortable to use Wi-Fi internet access, but recently bought an Android smartphone, but often not linked Wi-Fi.

According to the reporter understands, currently the market few mainstream brand Android handset and the tablet computer will appear Wi-Fi link not smooth problem. Alex told reporters that the reason is mainly in software compatibility, not network format or hardware problems. and to solve similar problems is very simple-only need to download the patch installation on it.

In fact, shortly after the launch of Apple ipad last year, many users found that the ipad's Wi-Fi link quality problems, Internet speed is extremely slow, the total hint of no Wi-Fi signal or must be in a very close place to link. Finally, Apple needs to release software patches to solve the problem.

Reason 3:wi-fi cloth net is poor

In addition, the cause of the poor Wi-Fi signal is not negligible factor is that many areas of the Wi-Fi network is not perfect laying. For example, many users complained that in Guangzhou Tianhe City, is good square, such as crowded places, the use of Wi-Fi hotspot communication quality is not as direct as the use of 3G network.

Guangzhou readers reflect that operators have said in the city Green Road a large number of Wi-Fi hot spots. But in fact in the city a lot of Green road, users are hard to find Wi-Fi hotspot operators traces. A few days ago reporter in Liwan District some Green road with smartphone scan, also really difficult to discover Wi-Fi signal hot spot.

In the poor Wi-Fi internet problem, there is always the ability to search for a signal called "GZBRTWL" along the BRT line, and it can be successfully connected. But unfortunately, there has never been access to the hot spot. According to reporters to the industry understand that the hot spot is likely to be the internal hot BRT, not external use. Experts in the industry suggest that there are hotspots in public places to use, should try to make guidelines to avoid consumer misuse.
