    Hello,

    I am struggling for the slow wireless network speed in my small office. Probably because we have 5 persons share the network , but we have to share it(all of us need network!). Is there any way to improve wireless network speed?

    Well, if you share your internet with 5 other people, could be that you need to upgrade your internet connection and not your router.

    Indeed, the internet connection should be upgraded.

    Other idea:
    For companies, they may use application to accelerate their network, but I think this need proffesional ITs' help.
    For your reference

    Wireless connections are always slow - there's actually a speed limit. Depending on what the 5 people in your office are doing they probably don't have much impact on your individual speeds.
    If they are working on design and tweaking css files, uploading layout image files (always small) and testing webpages they won't be using much bandwidth.
    If they are checking out youtube and up/downloading from torrent sites then the impact will be bigger.

    In a work environment I'd suggest connecting up on ethernet anyway.
