Your router's "smart" connections are quietly making your Wi-Fi speeds worse, and the fix is easier than you think

Many routers broadcast all Wi-Fi bands (2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz) under a single unified SSID using 'Smart Connect', which can cause devices to connect to slower bands without the user's knowledge or control. The recommended fix is to split the bands into separate SSIDs with distinct names, giving you explicit control over which devices connect to which band. This helps ensure performance-hungry devices stay on 5GHz, while IoT devices remain on 2.4GHz without congesting the faster band. Splitting SSIDs also makes network issues easier to diagnose, such as spotting when a specific band goes down.

South Africa’s fibre underdogs are beating the giants

The Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa) of South Africa released its February 2026 FNO Perception Survey, where ISPs rate the fibre network operators they buy wholesale access from. Six smaller operators — Lightspeed, Open Fibre, Lightstruck, Evotel, Seacom FibreCo, and WeCom — scored between 6.6 and 7.1 out of 10, outperforming most of the eight largest networks. Octotel retained the top spot among the major players at 7.5, while Vumatel showed the biggest year-on-year improvement (+1.0). The survey covered 406 ratings from 45 ISPs across 11 metrics including reliability, technical proficiency, and open-access adherence. Ispa notes the smaller operators' strong results are promising but carry less statistical weight due to fewer raters.
