Why does the WiFi seem to rarely go down at work, but go down at home all the time?

Question

There are many many more devices connected at work than at home.

In: Technology

Answer 1

The work routers are usually high end devices capable of handling the amount of bandwidth passing through it. Home devices are usually smaller and built for 3 or 4 devices. Most older routers aren’t capable of handling too much data throughput and die out quickly when various devices are eating up all its available bandwidth with games, streaming videos, and constantly updating websites.

Quick note, it used to happen to me at home a lot, but I had a 18 year old router. I went out and bought a new router and it worked like a charm. No more drops.
