A focused diagnostic checklist for (six machines on Wi‑Fi), building on points from and :

Begin by isolating the bottleneck. Run a wired speed test from a desktop connected to the same router/modem (use a public speed test) and compare it to the expected ISP plan. If wired throughput is low, the ISP or modem is likely the issue; if wired is fine but Wi‑Fi is slow, the wireless layer needs attention. Check for heavy background traffic (cloud backups, updates, streaming) and for any unknown clients on the network.

Address the wireless layer next. As noted, radio congestion and interference often hurt Wi‑Fi more than raw ISP speed. Scan the RF environment with a Wi‑Fi analyzer (mobile or desktop tools such as NetSpot, inSSIDer, or WiFi Analyzer) to view signal strength and overlapping networks, prefer 5 GHz for capacity if clients support it, and look at channel width and placement. Physical fixes—central AP placement, raised position, and avoiding interference sources—frequently yield big gains.

Useful quick tests and configuration steps: measure LAN throughput between a wired host and a Wi‑Fi client (iperf3 is simple), update router/AP firmware, enable appropriate encryption (WPA2/WPA3 where supported), create a guest SSID for unknown devices, enable QoS to prioritize business apps, and move stationary desktops to wired Ethernet or add an additional wired AP/mesh with wired backhaul if capacity is the problem.

Example local throughput test:

# on a wired machine: 
iperf3 -s

# on a Wi‑Fi client:
iperf3 -c <wired-machine-ip> -P 4 -t 30

Priority actions: (1) wired speed test, (2) iperf LAN test, (3) RF scan + reposition/AP band use, (4) firmware/QoS and scheduled backups, (5) add wired APs or upgrade hardware if capacity remains insufficient.

You probably need better wifi but this can also be a problem with your internet's capabilities. It all depends on how much bandwidth your network has and how many devices are connecting at any given time. For instance, say your wifi offers a total of 10 Mbs and is split between 6 computers and n laptops then you'll be splitting 10 Mbs by 6 and n. Do you get what I'm saying? Likewise if it's your internet connection although connections nowadays are usually (at least) 100 Mbs so that shouldn't be an issue.

^^Hopefully I got the above right^^
Basically, check your specs for your wifi as well as you internet speed and get back to us. Worst case scenario you call your local ISP to come down and configure your network for you.

A common cause of WiFi network slow-downs is due to using the default signal channel. Example: on 802.11b networks, there are 13 channels. The default that all WiFi routers (access points) use is channel 6. Other AP's that your systems can see are likely using channel 6 as well. So, go into the configuration tool for the router/access-point and change the channel to something other than 6. I have found that in many situations this helps tremendously, especially in an environment where there are other AP's in visible operation - common in commercial (business) buildings.
