What they did
With a single request, Claude Code ran speed tests, read signal data from the Mac and guided changes to the router settings. The user typed the router password themselves.
How it went
According to the LinkedIn post cited by Yahoo, the speed doubled.
Good to know
Write down the original settings before changing anything on the router.
The prompt
My internet plan is [speed], but I only get [speed] on Wi-Fi. Router: [model]. Guide me through simple tests to find out whether the problem is the plan, the router or its placement, and what to adjust (channel, band, position).
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
