There might be physical limitations, but if you can switch, connecting via wired LAN is recommended. Unlike wireless LAN, you can maintain the network connection without being affected by surrounding radio waves, allowing for stable operation. If you already have a wired LAN environment and want to be more particular, pay attention to the LAN cable as well. Using an old LAN cable might result in slow communication speed due to an outdated standard.<\/p>\n<p>Check the cable standard printed on the LAN cable.<br \/>\nCables marked as <strong>CAT.5<\/strong> are old and slow.<br \/>\nNewer standards include <strong>CAT.5E CAT.6 CAT.7<\/strong>, but <strong>CAT.5E<\/strong> is sufficient for home internet connections. If the cable included with your provider contract is this old standard, it&#8217;s a good idea to replace it with a new one.<\/p>\n<p>If you mix old and new standard LAN cables, the speed will decrease to match the older one, so if you are replacing cables, unify all LAN cables connected to network devices.<\/p>\n<h3>Stabilize Your Wireless LAN<\/h3>\n<p>Even if you have to use a wireless LAN connection due to physical constraints, there are ways to stabilize the network.<\/p>\n<h4>First, Check Signal Strength<\/h4>\n<p>When connected via wireless LAN, unstable signal strength can lead to decreased network speed.<br \/>\nCheck if the location where your PC is set up receives a good signal.<\/p>\n<p>When connected to wireless LAN, a mark like this is displayed in the bottom right of the Windows desktop. If the signal is weak, the white bars will decrease one by one. If it&#8217;s stable, it will be in the state shown by the red circle.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-250633\" src=\"https:\/\/pinetwork.masters-all.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/\u30b9\u30af\u30ea\u30fc\u30f3\u30b7\u30e7\u30c3\u30c8-2022-05-03-233140.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"74\"><\/p>\n<p>This is a simple way to check, but if you want to investigate thoroughly, there is a smartphone app called WiFi Analyzer. You can check the wireless LAN signal status in your room.
