Despite the technology surrounding network management software and routers, connecting to Wi-Fi has become easier than ever.

However, there’s no doubt that there still aren’t issues involved with Wi-fi such such as poor signals,  slow speeds and a lack of hotspots and so on and so forth.

That said, here are 2 programs that can help you with these common Wi-fi issues:

#1: Speed Test

A poor internet connection might occur for a number of reasons but one major one includes your ISP offering less-than-advertised broadband speeds. For this, use Speedtest.net by Ookla that helps you test the speeds quicker.

You can collect a lot of data by using this app: what kind of speeds you get at various times of the day or even if that slow Netflix streaming speed is the problem or not.

This app isn’t just available via the web. There are Android, Windows Phone and iOS versions too that can help you test speeds too.

#2: MyPublicWifi

While there are a number of reasons why only one device can connect to the internet, there are a number of apps that can fix this problem sooner. One such app is Connectify that comes in both the free and paid forms.

Yet another more effective app involves MyPublicWifi which is free and very simple to use. All you have to do is run the application by right-clicking on the desktop shortcut while selecting ‘Run as administrator’. Also, make sure you change the password to a stronger one because the default version is weak.
