Your Wi-Fi Might Be Costing You More Than You Think...

Hi 👋

If you’ve ever felt the urge to smack your Wi-Fi Access Point with a baseball bat, this month’s issue is for you.

I’ve seen businesses where each employee was losing 30 to 60 minutes of work time every day because their Wi-Fi was barely holding on.

For a team of 24, that’s like paying a salary for three full-time people that do nothing but stare at loading screens.

Most businesses don’t realise how much money and frustration this kind of tech slowdown creates.

But don’t worry… today you’ll learn how to fix that once and for all.

You’ll also discover a one-click solution to cut down on password resets, a Gmail update that’s making headlines, and how to prep your team against phishing attacks.

So grab your favourite beverage of choice, get comfy, and let’s dig in.

Your Wi-Fi Might Be Costing You More Than You Think...

No one budgets for “Wi-Fi rage,” but maybe they should.

Every time someone stares at a frozen Zoom screen, waits for a file to upload, or walks across the office to get closer to the signal, your business is wasting time and money.

Most people chalk it up to tech being tech... Mildly annoying, and not worth fixing.

That’s a mistake.

Bad Wi-Fi might not show up on a balance sheet, but it does affect your bottom line.

One person losing 30 minutes a day doesn’t sound like much. Multiply it by your whole team and you’ll find dozens of hours going nowhere.

Hours that YOU are paying for, week after week, month after month😬

Here’s where to start fixing it:

First, check your Wi-Fi Access Point’s location.

If it’s on the floor, behind a cabinet, or buried in a server closet, move it.

Wi-Fi needs open space.

Ideally, raise it up and place it somewhere central.

Think ceiling or shelf height. The fewer walls between your people and the signal, the better.

Next, check how old your Wi-Fi Access Point is.

If it was installed before 2020, it’s probably underpowered for how you work now.

Look underneath it, or on its back, and you should see a sticker with the model number. Google that to find out the year.
