Why the name POST? In the world of computers POST stands for Power On Self Test. This is the action computers take when they are first powered on to check their basic functionality prior to loading the operating system. We decided to take this same concept and to provide you with useful technology information at the beginning of your week to help get you started. POST is also a term associated with news as well and we felt this was an appropriate and fitting name.

FAQ of the Week
Does Your Wi-Fi Speed Drop? Here’s Why and 7 Tips to Fix It
Image from MUO
Each week we will address a frequently asked question. This week we are looking at why your Wi-Fi Speed may drop.
To start there are many reasons why this may happen. Wi-Fi sends out a wireless signal like your radio does and these wireless signals are subject to interference from other electronic signals such as power lines/cords, microwaves, etc. Metal objects can also cause interference.
If there is a lot of usage on your network or too many devices connected you may see a drop in speed as well. Your network may also need to be optimized if it is not performing as you'd expect.
There are several possible reasons and just as many solutions and fixes for these issues. Check out the linked article for full details.
