You are at home and bored. You turn on your iPhone. You go to the App Store, you enter Apple Arcade, you find a game that has caught your attention to spend some time with and… “how slow this is going.” The game is not particularly difficult, so It must be a problem with your WiFi.
You call your phone company, they tell you to reboot your router, they don’t see a problem and tomorrow will certainly be better. They don’t give you any solution but internet is still slow. Have you tried the Apple recommended settings? maybe this will fix it. Let’s take a look.
A faster and more secure network
For upload and download speed, Apple recommends the following settings:
- Radio mode: set to on Allor if that is not possible, from Wi-Fi 2 to Wi-Fi 6 or higher.
- Bands: Enable all bands supported by your router.
- Channel: Set it Automatically.
- Channel Width: Set to 20MHz for the 2.4GHz band and to Automatically either all latitudes for 5GHz and 6GHz.
- DHCP: turn it on if the router is the only DHCP server. If you already have one active, don’t do this as it may cause interference.
- DHCP Lease Time: Set to on eight hours for home or office networks and one hour for access points and guest networks.
- NAT: Activate it if the router is the only device with NAT in the network.
- WMM: Always activate. Otherwise, your surfing speed can be greatly reduced.
Speed is not the only thing or the most important thing. We also have to take that into account our safety while navigatingtherefore we leave you here Apple’s recommendations so that you can configure your router taking into account:
- Security: Configure your router with WPA4 or WPA2/WPA3 if your devices are a bit older.
- Network Name (SSID): Specifies a unique name and individually for all bands. Don’t use common names or names that can be easily associated with you.
- Hidden network: turn it off. While it may seem sensible to enable this at first, it is not recommended. Hiding the name of the network does not prevent detection or protect it from unauthorized access. Using hidden networks can even reveal information that can identify you and detect the hidden networks you are using, e.g. B. Your home network.
- MAC address filtering, authentication, access control: turn it off.
- Automatic firmware updates: activate them.
We hope these tips from our friends in Cupertino will improve your internet connection, and it is also safer. In any case, the mythical “switching off and on again” of a life usually works. And you always end up with your company’s technical service, although we know that doesn’t sound very encouraging.
