Learn About Paramount+ Internet
Paramount+ Internet provides a variety of features that you can tailor to your needs. Learn more about your options on the Paramount+'s page.
A Distant Router
The more distance there is between your device and the router, the longer it will take to send data between them. In other words, the farther you move from the WiFi router, the weaker the signal will be.
Too Many Obstacles
Think of your WiFi like a dart and obstacles like the wind. When throwing a dart on a windy day, the dart may slow or completely drop on its way to the target.
Wireless Interference
Routers operate on one of two channels – 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Think of these like speeds in a race. 2.4GHz is like a marathon. Speeds are slower to compensate for going a farther distance.
Other Wireless Devices
When not in use, turn off laptops, tablets, computers, and TVs. Certain mobile apps may silently hog your bandwidth, too. Look at your device settings and determine which platforms are running in the background.
An Old Router
Newer routers were designed to provide faster speeds. Older legacy WiFi client devices using 802.11g or 802.11b can slow down wireless connectivity.
Internet Rush Hour
Between the hours of 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm, you’ll likely suffer from a limited WiFi connection due to Internet rush hour. Be sure to download content before or after rush hour times.
