Study Shows Consumer Interest in Wired Solutions for Wireless Network Issues

According to new Parks Associates research of 1,000 U.S broadband households with a wireless home network, households commonly experience issues such as slow downloads, dead zones and interference with other devices with their wireless networks. The study found that nearly 40 percent of all U.S broadband households with a wireless router have and/or are currently experiencing problems with their wireless network.

Among those experiencing problems, 87 percent have experienced a slow connection or a dead zone, and 63 percent continue to experience these problems despite efforts to resolve them. This equates to 15 million households that continue to experience dead zones or slow wireless connections despite upgrades to Internet service or in-home equipment such as the purchase of a new router.
