Phone Keeps Switching to Mobile Data Despite Wi-Fi
The Wi-Fi icon is still on, yet your data allowance keeps shrinking. Usually the phone isn't broken. It has decided that Wi-Fi isn't good enough.

Wi-Fi explained in a way you can actually use
Gia Kreasi writes guides on Wi-Fi, internet security, and networking for small businesses. Written in-house, in plain language that does not assume you already understand networks.
What people look for most

- Securing a router nobody has touched since it was installed
- Setting up guest Wi-Fi at a business

Security
The Guest Network on Your Home Router
Handing a visitor your main Wi-Fi password puts them on the same network as your work laptop and home cameras.
For Business
Wi-Fi for Notary and Consultant Offices
A notary or tax consultant's office rarely has IT staff, yet it holds files more sensitive than most large businesses.
Networking
What Is Backhaul in Mesh Wi-Fi
Full bars in the back room don't guarantee fast internet there. What decides it is the link between one mesh node and the next.
Regulation
Satellite Internet Rules in Indonesia
Satellite internet feels like a gadget you just buy and set up. Under the rules, it's still a telecom service with the same obligations.
Hardware
Choosing a Travel Router
A travel router isn't for everyone. But for people who stay over often with lots of devices, it saves a lot of logging in and adds a layer of security.
For business owners
Guest Wi-Fi that stays out of the way of operations
In many cafes and clinics, the point-of-sale system, the cameras, and visitor Wi-Fi all share one network. As long as nothing happens, the arrangement feels fine. We help rearrange it, including what Law No. 27 of 2022 requires.
- A guest network kept apart from the till, the cameras, and office computers
- A short portal page, so visitors actually finish it
- Per-device speed limits so capacity is shared
- Marketing consent kept separate, and revocable
Network separation
Guests and operations run on separate segments, so trouble on one side does not spread to the other.
Only as much portal as needed
A short form, marketing consent kept separate, and a privacy policy that can genuinely be opened and read.
How we work
How these guides get written
From the questions that keep coming up
Topics come from complaints we hear repeatedly, not from whatever keyword is trending.
Tried first
The technical steps we publish are tested on the devices and networks commonly used here.
Revised when they stop being accurate
Every guide carries the date it was last updated.
