Why My Internet SPEED Is Slow ?

Every connected device in your home uses some of your Internet speed.

Activities that affect your Internet speed:

• Having many devices connected to your home Internet at the same time.
• Doing multiple things that use a lot of Internet speed at the same time, like streaming, gaming, video-conferencing, and downloading large files.
• Connecting to Wi-Fi^®. Using a wired connection tends to be faster.

• Restart your gateway now and then.
• Keep your gateway and devices away from obstructions (like metal) and common sources of interference (like baby monitors and microwaves).
• Move Wi-Fi devices closer to your gateway. The farther away they are, the weaker the signal and the slower the speed.
• Place your Wi-Fi gateway in a central location in your home or office. Keeping it upright and off the floor improves coverage.
• Only use Wi-Fi with devices that don’t have wired connection ports, like smartphones, tablets, and home assistants.
• Add a Wi-Fi extender to improve coverage and signal strength if needed.

Your device may be slowing you down. Try these tips:

• Turn off Internet-connected devices when you aren’t using them..
• Clear your browser cache and cookies.
• Exit streaming apps after watching videos or listening to music.
• Restart devices regularly. 
• Turn off auto updates on apps, gaming consoles, and PCs.
• Update anti-virus software, drivers, firmware, and computer and device software.
• Upgrade older Wi-Fi devices to ones with newer, faster Wi-Fi technology.

• Interference from other Wi-Fi networks, especially in crowded areas or buildings with high Wi-Fi use.
• Too many people connecting to a website or app at once.
• Connecting at peak hours.
