Connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet Provider

Question: Describe a Case Study for Connecting to a Wi-Fi internet provider. Answer: Description of case study A company had about 1000 employees. They require internet service 24 X 7 as their work involves software designing. Recently, the company had been facing difficulties trying to connect to a Wi-Fi Internet provider. A project was done to reduce the difficulties while connecting the Wi- Fi Internet provider. Solutions Experience in the project The experience in the project was very good. I had learnt about the alternative options of Wi Fi provider and had also learnt about the technologies used in Wi- Fi Internet provider. I had also learnt about the procedures to repair Wi- Fi Internet provider and handle a large problem efficiently. The experience was an exciting one and it helped me to explore a new dimension of technology. The solutions used to address the problem The other employees used the Wi- Fi of the company for their personal purpose. This had increased the number of users of Wi- Fi and it had resulted in difficulties while connecting it (Pesavento et al., 2015). The solution to this problem was to increase the security by enabling network encryption and creating strong password for the Wi- Fi system. The software of the router must be kept up-to-date and the remote access should be disabled. These would solve the problem of connecting Wi- Fi. A special-cause or common-cause This is regarded as a common cause because difficulties are faced in every company when they try to connect the Wi- Fi. Not every company disable their remote access and they do not have a strong password for their Wi- Fi network (Elmhedwi et al., 2015). This increases the load on the Wi- Fi router and it becomes difficult to connect at times. It is also seen that every company uses Wi- Fi for their internet connection as connecting via LAN causes inconvenience while moving the laptop from one place to another. The solution or approach used appropriate for the cause The solution given was appropriate for this purpose. This is because the employees could not access the Wi- Fi of the office. This had reduced the load on the Wi- Fi router and it had solved the problems during connection. The up gradation of the softwares had made the router efficient to handle more users at a time (Singh et al., 2014). Solution when the issue repeats If the issue repeats itself, then I would suggest the company to opt for LAN connection. This would reduce the issues while connecting and it would work faster. The company would be suggested to install more routers and increase the strength if their Wi- Fi system if the problem occurs again during connecting Wi- Fi (Akman et al., 2013). Conclusions drawn from the problem-solving or process-improvement techniques It can be concluded that the methods of problem solving are quite simple and it would not cost much for the company. The production and the business of the company would increase on applying these methods of improving the Wi- Fi connection of the company. In addition, it would reduce the idle time of the employees.
