How can I improve the WIFI speed and coverage in my place?
  • Ensure you are testing within a few metres of the wireless router
  • The wireless router should be in an elevated position and not lying on the floor
  • If you are testing from another room you will probably need a wireless mesh kit to expand the wireless coverage

Why is my WIFI slower than the service I pay for?
  • There are many external factors that influence your wireless speeds, these are largely out of Faircom's control. i.e. interference / congestion / materials used to construct the home building.
  • You can perform a speed test by plugging in an ethernet cable from your laptop/PC to the router. This should show you the full speed
