Case study: Finding the Best Wi-Fi Channel

Let’s take this very common support issue and look at how Friendly’s Wi-Fi optimization features can help.

Wi-Fi optimization diagram

We have a Wi-Fi connection with two neighboring routers, A & B. One of the neighboring routers, B, is transmitting the Wi-Fi signal on the same band as our home router. This is considered as an overlapping Wi-Fi channel and will interfere with the home Wi-Fi signal reception for our connected devices, which will, in turn, cause slower upload/download speeds and service degradation.

How can we fix this neighboring interference? Well, we can always ask the neighbor to switch to a different channel, but that’s not very realistic. We can also manually or automatically scan our neighboring Wi-Fi channels and select the one that has no interference.

Finding the best Wi-Fi Channel for your router would include:
1. Choosing a Wi-Fi frequency band
2. Checking a neighboring access point
3. Selecting a non-overlapping Wi-Fi channel

With Friendly Technologies’ platform, both customer support and the end-user can easily handle and resolve these Wi-Fi interference issues. The end-user can perform this operation independently using the Friendly Connect self-support application.
