Warning: Neighbor's Wi-Fi may be the reason for your slow Wi-Fi

You may be surprised and say: What does the neighbors' Wi-Fi come on to my Wi-Fi and why might it cause my internet service to slow down? In order to answer you, you must know that the Wi-Fi moves in channels, and if the Wi-Fi channel of the neighbors or one of those close to you conflicts with your Wi-Fi channel, here interference occurs and this interference causes slow. So let us tell you an easy way, and only with the iPhone, it will enable you to discover and solve the problem of slow Wi-Fi.


Discover the problem

Wi-Fi problems are many and ways to adjust Wi-Fi to be better are many, but here we will only talk about interference and therefore you must first discover if there is interference or not, and this will be done by downloading an application from Apple called AirPort Utility

AirPort Utility
Developer
Pregnancy

After downloading and installing the application, go to the settings of the iPhone device and search for the AirPort tool, then enter the tool’s settings, and activate the option (WiFi scanner)

Now open the app and tap the (WiFi Check) button on the top on the right

Then click on the Scan button and the WiFi scanner will start to detect all the neighboring networks and you can leave them for some time or roam around the house until you discover one of the neighbors' networks that carries the same channel as your network.

If you really discovered that there are networks carrying the same channel, then you will have a problem, and here we come to how to solve this.

In the pictures, I discovered that the neighbor named (Samia) has the same Wi-Fi channel as my (iTarek-Capsule)


Solve the problem of overlap

Now that you have discovered that there is a problem, you should most likely change your Wi-Fi channel. “I don’t think it is appropriate to knock on the neighbors’ door and tell them, ‘Sorry, your Wi-Fi channel is interfering with mine, and it is my channel, so please change your channel.’” 🙂 It is easier to change your Wi-Fi channel.

To change the Wi-Fi channel, you must enter the settings of your router, usually through the browser, and type the IP number of the router, which may be 192.168.1.1 in most cases.

Then you enter the WiFi settings and from there change the value of the Channels, which will most likely be Auto

Now you can use the (WiFi scanner) again and find out if there is any interference and that the problem has been solved.

Did you find an interference problem in your Wi-Fi? And did you manage to solve it?

Lovely
Ok, if the neighbor deliberately broadcasts a channel with the same name as my channel and the same channel, cuts off the internet daily and changed it several times the name and channel

How do I resist its distraction?

Is the subject of the overlap purely coincidence or a verb?
My Channel XNUMX found XNUMX neighbors on my channel

Well, if one is, the house is, but the channel is not the same as my channel, and I browse a lot of things and the network slowed down, does the network slow down?

Brother, if the router provides me with two networks, knowing that each channel is different from the other, do I have to change if another network matches or leave it Auto

    Yes, but it is necessary if you find interference other than the Wi-Fi settings from the AirPot because it is the one that provides you with the Wi-Fi

comments user

It is noticed that the channels change. As morning changed the channel because it was in agreement with another channel. 11 and 11. I adjusted 2. Then at night I found my channel 10 and the neighbor channel 2. Should I adjust this setting every day or periodically?
And God reward you with good.

    No, of course the channels do not change, there may be a defect in the water you are using, or the Auto or Auto option has not been modified because what you describe is the automatic setting

Thank you ,, but stc modem doesn't have any change of channel. I have discovered 11 modems with the same channel

    Try to contact STC technical support and inform them of the change of channel for the Wi-Fi

The meaning of auto is that it automatically chooses a channel that does not interfere with the neighbors' channels, if a channel is installed and the neighbor's channel changes automatically for any reason, the result will be worse.

    comments user
    Blog administrator

    Yes, some prefer this, but not all routers are smart enough to change when it finds interference, so we install the channel and this is guaranteed.

comments user
Waddah Jaber

It is better to make the channel automatic to avoid the problem.

Will the problem be solved ???

Or should I apply what I mentioned in the article

    comments user
    Blog administrator

    Not every router is smart enough to change the channel when it finds interference, so we fix the channel and this is guaranteed

comments user
Youssef Al-Harbi

Ok, if you have access to how many networks are there from the same router?
Of course, it is mandatory, all of the same channel. Is it slow and overlapping?

    comments user
    Blog administrator

    I think Al Rawati giving more network capability will solve the problem and prefer to leave the Auto setting in this case

    The best solution is to buy a house somewhere else :)
    Or try to make your channel like a channel of the farthest person from you

    This is your router, not a website, let someone who does Wi-Fi for you at home do this for you

Does changing the channel affect anything, and not all channels the same thing?

    comments user
    Blog administrator

    The word channels means paths, not the effect of the effect is that there is noise in the same path, so experimenting with several channels and choosing the best is also useful

Exactly, I found a network on the same channel as my channel and changed the channel number. But in an important question, is this channel interference related to spying on Wi-Fi networks? No, this is a second need, because the subject may make one doubt frankly because the two networks are on one channel number. I hope for a response from the specialists.

    If bluetooth is messed up, then the problem might be the cable inside the device

comments user
The synchronizer

Maybe I have some reservations about that, since every channel has a pin code, so the neighbors' Wi-Fi won't affect them
I change the channel if I have two routers in the same place
In general, the best channels are
One and she is the best
Then XNUMX
Then XNUMX

Thank you, brother Tariq, and the Imam

    Yes, no problem, try the Wi-Fi, and if you find that the result is not good other than the channel, the matter is simple and needs experiments. There is no fixed plan for this matter

    AirPort application is a normal application like any application and its settings are located within the settings of all applications, sometimes until the application settings are loaded and the system does not take this some time, wait and search within the application settings yourself

Question: How was it on channel 11 and it is the router settings option auto?

    comments user
    Blog administrator

    The meaning of the word "Auto" is that he chooses by himself and has chosen 11. But his choice is not appropriate in my case
