transmitter the access point is too close to a source of interference this could mean other uh non-wi-fi networks so microwaves um high power lines uh noisy power supplies stuff that might be an area of concern so if your noise level is high just check everything out maybe move your router away from something if it has a high signal to noise but that's likely not the issue it's probably your signal percentage now if your signal percentage is down below NUMBER_TOKEN or NUMBER_TOKEN i would recommend manually changing your channel now you can click right here and this will tell you all of the networks that are using channel one there's quite a few of them and you can see some of these are not currently available i haven't seen one of them for eight minutes and NUMBER_TOKEN seconds we're in a business area and so believe it or not some people actually shut their networks off overnight but earlier when i looked at this we had a ton of interference on channel one which for whatever reason is the channel that my google fiber box continues to select automatically so what i could go uh what i could do is is go in here and say okay look you know what there's no devices on channel NUMBER_TOKEN. so if i go down to NUMBER_TOKEN gigahertz and move to channel NUMBER_TOKEN that's likely going to be a channel with a low signal to interference ratio now that's just in this specific spot with a specific device what you really should do is take a laptop and go to multiple locations in your house and see which channel has the lowest amount of interference once you've found it select it apply it and then test the new channel out if it's slower and if your range is not as good well then try a different channel but you should absolutely try to change the channel if you're having interference issues it's especially important with five gigahertz wi-fi now there is more five gigahertz wi-fi uh spectrum available and so there's a lot more channels to select from typically but many of these are not exposed to your router NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN are the only two channels i'm offered on this box some higher end devices will let you choose from more but five gigahertz tends to get really saturated really quickly so that's one where if you're not having good performance and your signal to noise ratio excuse me your signal to interference ratio is pretty high uh then you should try a different location or a different channel next and this is one that my device currently doesn't do but qos or quality of service prioritization this basically analyzes your network traffic and gives priority to specific devices or activities now on the very rudimentary level on cheap routers usually it's just a specific device so you can say hey you know what my kid that plays minecraft all day they don't need that much bandwidth prioritize me the businessman but you can also go into specific activities and so you can say give priority to streaming video if your tv is struggling to get stuff started or give priority to downloads or to gaming services so that your latency is low it basically tells your router hey this is the most important device give them the most bandwidth and the most packet attention and that should make a fairly big difference and some can even go into extreme granularity like specific servers that you contact that's a thing but quality of service is important and you should definitely check it out if
