Google Updates Its Wi-Fi Technology For Better Device Performance

Google has added a new feature to its Wi-Fi network technology that lets users measure how each individual device is performing on their wireless Internet network. The new feature will basically run a speed test on each device and inform the users which devices need to be kept within a closer router range for a stronger connection. Globally, an average of 18 devices is connected on each “Google Wifi” network.

“With so many devices on your network, we want to make sure you have a way to know each device has the best connection possible, and that your home Wi-Fi is doing its job,” Google’s Product Manager, Alex King, wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. “This update to our Network Check technology will be available in the coming weeks to all Google Wifi users around the world — just open the Google Wifi app to get started,” King said.

Google said that knowing Wi-Fi coverage is poor in an area of your home can help you pinpoint the exact bottleneck when you notice a connectivity slowdown. “Then, you will know to move your Google Wifi point closer to that device or even move the device itself for a stronger connection,” King said.
