Another happy customer in the books — and a perfect example of why “more Wi‑Fi” isn’t always better.

This client had seven wireless access points crammed into their office suites, even though the space only needed two quality units. None of them were configured or managed correctly, which led to heavy interference across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The result was exactly what you’d expect: dropped packets, unstable speeds, and random disconnects. They even upgraded their internet plan thinking bandwidth was the problem — but congestion was the real culprit.

Here’s what I did to fix it:

The building layout, open air space, and a max of 20–30 people at a time meant we could safely reduce the number of access points. I installed a Ubiquiti Dream Machine 7 (with Wi‑Fi 7 built in) and added a U7 Pro for additional coverage.

With proper placement and clean channel assignments, interference disappeared. Newer devices can now use the 6 GHz band, and performance skyrocketed.

Before: ~250 × 250 Mbps with dropped packets
After: ~800 × 800 Mbps on average, peaking at 950 × 950 Mbps on a Wi‑Fi 7 device

A huge improvement — and a very happy customer. If your Wi‑Fi feels slow or unstable, it might not be your internet speed at all. Let FryeTech take a look.

IT Tip of the Day:

Did you know that leaving your laptop or mobile device plugged in all the time can actually shorten the battery’s lifespan?

Think of your battery like a parking lot.
The “cars” are electrons, and each parking spot can only be used a limited number of times before it wears out. If you only ever use the same 10 spots, those spots wear out faster — and suddenly your 100‑spot lot is really a 90‑spot lot.

That means a device that used to last two days on a charge might now only last 90% of that time. That’s how battery health slowly drops over the years.

A simple fix:
Let your device run on battery occasionally instead of staying plugged in 24/7. Giving it a full cycle now and then helps keep those “parking spots” in better shape.

iPhone users can even check this by going to Settings → Battery → Battery Health to see how much capacity your battery has left.
