Tips to guarantee the best high-speed Internet

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.
