| Abstract | This study compares the performance of Wi-Fi and 5G networks at Thammasat Secondary School, focusing on areas with high user density, such as classrooms, cafeterias, and sports fields. Signal quality was evaluated using the nPerf application, which measured key metrics, including download speed, upload speed, and latency during peak usage times.Data were collected at three different times of the day: morning, midday, and afternoon. The findings reveal that Wi-Fi outperforms 5G in terms of consistent download and upload speeds and lower latency in high-density regions. In contrast, 5G networks demonstrated higher speed fluctuations and increased latency, especially during peak usage times. This study suggests upgrading the school’s network infrastructure, including the potential adoption of Wi-Fi 6 technology or a hybrid Wi-Fi/5G model, to improve overall performance, particularly in areas with high user congestion. Such improvements could support more reliable and efficient online learning activities and real-time communication within the school environment. Further research is recommended to explore the effects of network upgrades under varying conditions and over extended time periods. |
