Wi-Fi Signal Quality

Question

Why does my signal quality change from time to time?

Answer

Unlike a wired network, wireless connectivity is greatly affected by its location, orientation of the antenna, and various electronics in that location. Due to wireless being a shared medium, a large number of users can greatly impact the network in a single area.

The bars on your device represent signal strength, and with wireless, signal quality is more important. It is very likely that you are still connecting at the maximum speed.
