Three troublesome problems that companies are having with their present Wi-Fi connections
1. Unstable Wi-Fi connection that keeps dropping off
When your company’s Wi-Fi goes down, not only are your workers inconvenienced, but so are your clients, suppliers, and even prospective consumers.

2. Wi-Fi black spots
There are three possible causes of Wi-Fi black spots: interference, physical blockage, and distance. These factors may occur alone or in combination, with one worsening the other in some instances.
There are two approaches to deal with Wi-Fi black spots: either ease the symptoms or eliminate the cause altogether. Both tactics may be effective in some situations, but issues will persist until you stop the underlying cause.
3. Traffic management (WAP’s clashing)
Almost from the beginning of significant human communities, urbanisation and transportation have risen in tandem. The same factors that drive people to reside in densely populated cities also contribute to traffic jams on city streets and highways, which are frequently inconvenient and aggravating for everyone involved. For an efficient urban administration, the benefits of agglomeration must be finely balanced against the negatives of overcrowded regions, which may be challenging to achieve. Increasing traffic congestion on the highways is an issue in all quickly growing urban areas.

- Be cautious with the Service Set Identifier you’re using (SSID): Avoid making your SSID public if you want to keep intruders out of your network. The SSID may be protected on any Wi-Fi router, making it difficult for intruders to discover a network. Alter your SSID to something different at the absolute least.
- Set up a firewall on your computer: If possible, set up a firewall on your wireless devices as well as your home network. Attackers who get access to your wireless network may be able to bypass your network firewall, but a host-based firewall will give an extra layer of security to your computer’s data.
