Network performance is the measure of the quality of service offered by the network.It hinders when multiple loads are running on a wireless local area network, thereby causing slow down in social communication, networking, and business activities.This paper aimed at improving network performance in a wireless local area network using light fidelity technology.The light fidelity system designed and developed was a bidirectional system of downlink and uplink transceiver circuits.Physical measurement was carried out on the developed light fidelity system using Netlimiter software to capture the network performance.Results obtained showed that the performance of light fidelity systems throughput was high, while the latency and packet loss was low.The network performance of the light fidelity system was better than the wireless fidelity technology in the wireless local area network.Its network performance is not significantly affected by the number of users and hence should be utilized in a high-density environment.
