You may not have noticed, but it’s very likely that you’ve made one of these three mistakes that can ruin your Wi-Fi connection more than once. The truth is that they occur quite often and that some of them are still common even among users with some experience, so don’t worry, the important thing in the end is that you can see them and learn to avoid them.

This is not always easy, ie. Not everyone is able to realize these mistakes on their own.And maybe you couldn’t do it either. If you find yourself in this situation, any of these errors can ruin your Wi-Fi connection, and the situation will not improve until you resolve it. For this reason, we wanted to give shape to this guide, where we will explain in a very simple way the three most common mistakes and the ones that are most likely to destroy your Wi-Fi connection.

In addition to explaining why they occur and why they matter We will also tell you everything you need to do solve them without having to deal with complex configurations and without having to spend money. As always, if you have any questions, don’t worry, you can leave them in the comments and we will help you solve them.

1.-Forcing distance can ruin your Wi-Fi connection

This is one of the most common mistakes and the one that can cause the most problems with Wi-Fi, although fortunately it is also one of the easiest to solve. As many of our readers know, it has a Wi-Fi connection given maximum range and also optimal range. The first is defined as the one that, when exceeded, leads to a complete loss of connection, while the second is applied to the distance that will eventually drastically reduce the power and signal quality. We still have a connection, but the experience is not good.

With the definition we’ve seen, you can already imagine why this error occurs and why it matters. This is because the user was far from the distance between the router and devices that are connected via Wi-Fi. If these distances are very long, the signal may not arrive with sufficient intensity or may not arrive at all. Approach the router or change its position so that the signal reaches us better in other areas, These are two very simple solutions and do not involve any costs.

2.-Use a default password or an easy-to-crack password

We face another of the most common mistakes and it is also very dangerous because it can make it easier for intruders to enter our Wi-Fi network. Just one intruder can ruin your Wi-Fi connection completely, I can vouch for this because I had this experience a few years ago and there was nothing I could do because of the person who stole my internet connection. If I tried to play, the peaks of latency caused a terrible experience and the media playback staggered and lost quality.

An easy-to-crack password and keeping it set by default makes brute-force attacks easier, and in the end, attacking our Wi-Fi network by an intruder is only a matter of time. When this happens, it can consume all the available bandwidth and performance will be very poor. Fortunately, we can solve it with something as simple as changing the password of our Wi-Fi network.

3.-Using the wrong bandwidth can significantly affect your Wi-Fi connection

It is a relatively easy to understand topic. Connect to one or the other band It determines such important things as the maximum range, interference and peak speed that you can achieve. If we connect to the 2.4 GHz band, we will enjoy a greater range, but we must remember that it reaches lower maximum speeds than the 5 GHz band and that it is more affected by interference.

Conversely, if we connect to the 5 GHz band, we will have a higher maximum speed and a connection less prone to interference, but its scope is smallerand in many cases it does not even reach the corners where the 2.4 GHz band reaches. In this case, it is best to try the 5 GHz band first, and if you see that the received signal is very weak or virtually zero, try the 2.4 GHz band.
