Why Wi-Fi Performance Depends on Your Wired Backbone

Wi-Fi access points are only as fast as their uplinks. Even high-end APs degrade when connected to congested or undersized wired networks.

In many deployments, Wi-Fi complaints trace back to saturated LAN links rather than RF issues. Improving wireless coverage without addressing the wired core rarely fixes performance.

Think of Wi-Fi as a client layer, not a transport backbone.
