Speed Up Your Internet Connection Now..!!!!


Are you been frustrated by your slow interconnection speed?Well, we are here to help. In a time when we are spending more and more time online, a slow internet speed could bog you down, to say the least. While changing your provider might sound ideal, there are some tips you could use to set things right for you!

1.Your equipment might be the problem

Your equipment might be the black sheep for the starters. Notably, your wireless speed will only be as fast as the slowest piece of equipment you got. Therefore it's ideal you check the speed you're getting on each of the devices you're using. Then connect these devices directly to the router to ascertain the loss. Further, there might also be some compatibility issues. Therefore once you're sure which on is the problem you can go ahead and upgrade your equipment to get better speed.

2.Router positioning 

Your router positioning might be the reason of slower speed since placement of your router is key to determine the speed you're receiving. Ideally, a router must lie in the center of the area where you want the connection, an elevated position will be awesome if you can get that. Further, the area must be clear of obstacles like walls and furniture that significantly obstruct the signals. Also, home appliances like phones and microwaves could effect your wireless signals.

3.Antennas could help

Adding an antenna to your router and your devices help in boosting your wireless connection. An antenna on the router will aid in improving the outgoing signal while on the device will improve its reception.

4.Repeaters could help too

A repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it at higher level or higher power, or onto the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances. 

5.Change the band and the channel

If your router is not password protected then it's quite possible that others are using the same channel as you are. This eventually slows down your signal significantly. Try changing the band and the channel to find the one that is least used to improve your speed.

6.Shut down bandwidth consumers

Some of the apps/programs are high bandwidth consuming and tend to slow down other apps to work well. Therefore, it's ideal you get hold of these apps and turn them off in case you don't need them.

7.For heaven's sake,get a better provider!

If all the tips fail, well, you need to talk to your service provider, for clearly there's no other way out!
