Understanding Wi-Fi Speeds and Misleading Marketing

Why is the Wi-Fi speed at home often slower than what is advertised on the router box?

• Due to theoretical speeds being under optimal conditions

• Because the router is faulty

• Because the internet provider limits the speed

• Due to outdated router technology

What is one major factor that affects Wi-Fi signal strength over distance?

• The number of devices connected

• The color of the router

• The type of internet connection

• Signal attenuation

How do higher frequency Wi-Fi bands affect signal range?

• They increase the range

• They make the signal more stable

• They have no effect on range

• They decrease the range

What misleading tactic do router manufacturers use to advertise higher speeds?

• Combining speeds from different frequency bands

• Using outdated technology

• Providing free upgrades

• Offering discounts on older models

Why might wide channel widths in Wi-Fi 6 be unreliable?

• They are too expensive

• They cause more interference and signal attenuation

• They are illegal in some countries
