Simple tips to get the most out of your internet connection.
Place your router in a central location, elevated off the floor, away from walls and electronic devices that cause interference.
Restart your router once a week to clear the cache and refresh the connection. This alone can improve speeds by 10-20%.
Wired connections are faster and more stable than WiFi. Use Ethernet for gaming, streaming, and work computers.
Use a strong WiFi password to prevent neighbors from using your bandwidth. Use WPA3 encryption for best security.
If you're in a crowded area, switch to a less congested WiFi channel. Use the 5GHz band for faster speeds at shorter range.
If you've tried everything and speeds are still slow, it may be time to upgrade your internet plan or switch providers.
Compare faster internet providers available in your area.
