Why Wi-Fi slows down even when your speed test looks fine
Original: WLAN streikt, obwohl der Speedtest stark aussieht – und der Nachbar sitzt auf demselben Kanal? Oft ist der Funkkanal vol
Wi-Fi problems at home are often caused not by the internet line but by a congested radio channel. Neighbouring networks, mesh setups and crowded 2.4 GHz bands can choke the wireless link while a speed test still shows strong results. Users are sharing tips on checking channel occupancy and switching bands to fix sluggish connections, especially in dense residential buildings.
Why now: Everyday Wi-Fi frustration is common, and the insight that a crowded radio channel rather than the connection itself causes slowdowns is practical and widely relatable.
