User involvement in home network configuration and network performance

Abstract

Today's world is experiencing a steady growth of home networks. Numerous issues also develop as a result of its expansion. Troubleshooting, configuration, network performance, and security are just a couple of examples. This study focuses on configuration and network performance. In this study, we investigate whether user configuration and network performance are associated. An experimental quantitative research approach is used in this study. In this research, the network performance of a user's home network before and after user configuration is measured and compared using a web application known as Fusion Connect. The network performance indices are jitter, latency, upload and download speed. The results show that the only performance metric associated with user configuration among the chosen performance metrics is upload speed. Router producers and network providers can narrow their area of focus in effectively involving home network users in configuring their home network routers based on the findings of this research.
