Although it’s significantly easier to find public Wi-Fi at present, all of these freely accessible connection come with different speeds. If you are using public Wi-Fi on a regular basis, then you will be glad to know that Google has decided to integrate speed ranking for WiFi with Android 8.1.
As you can already guess from the name, with the latest feature, users will be able to know about speed of a network before connecting to it. According to a recently published support article, there will be four different rankings for WiFi networks.
While you can easily disable the feature from settings, in case you regularly use public WiFi network, the latest feature should come in handy when the feature becomes available.
Public Wi-Fi can be spotty. For the first time, #AndroidOreo 8.1 lets you take out the guesswork & see the speed of networks before you hit connect. Rolling out now: https://t.co/lSzvCFgNk7 pic.twitter.com/60EmoPxUX4
