How to Increase Internet Speed - Expert Tips
Here are ten short tips that can help you get faster Wi-Fi. Each one gives a short explanation of how to do it and why it helps.
1. Put your router in the right spot.
Why: Signals are weakened by walls and furniture. Coverage stays even when the central setting is used.
How: Place your router on a shelf in the centre of your home. Do not hide it near metal tools or in cabinets.
2. Choose the Right Band (5 GHz vs. 2.4 GHz)
Why: The 2.4 GHz band is slower but extends farther, while the 5 GHz band is faster but doesn't reach as far.
How: Link devices that need a lot of data to the 5 GHz network; this is usually marked as "5G." For smart plugs or when you need a longer range, use 2.4 GHz.
3. Update the firmware on your router
Why: Firmware changes make things faster and fix bugs.
How: Sign into your router's control page, look for updates, and install the newest firmware. If possible, let automatic changes happen.
4. Make sure your network is safe
Why: People who aren't given permission steal your data and make your connection slower.
How: Use a strong WPA2 or WPA3 password, change the default admin login info, and make a guest network for people who come.
5. Upgrade to a Faster Internet Plan for Better Wi-Fi Speed
Why: Not having enough data can make your Wi-Fi slow.
How: Look at your current plan and think about how well it meets your household's needs. You might want to switch to a plan with better speeds or to fibre internet.
