If you randomly find your wifi connection slowing down, there could be multiple reasons why. It’s important to figure out the reasons and solve the problems so that your high speed internet connection isn’t compromised. Here are 3 common reasons why your wifi connection might be slowing down:
You may experience a slow connection if your router is situated in a room far away from where you are. Wifi signals become weaker as the distance between the router and device increases. The further the distance, the weaker the signal, and the slower the wifi speeds. If your router is far away, relocate it as close to your device as possible. You can also get a range extender if multiple people need to use the wifi in different rooms at once.
Make sure your internet is password protected so that only you and your family members or friends are using it, and not your neighbours as well. Disconnect the devices that you aren’t currently using from the internet. Even if you’re working on your laptop, your mobile phone or tablet could be updating in the background, consuming bandwidth and ultimately slowing down your network. So disconnect all devices that are not being used from the wifi for a faster internet connection.
One of the biggest considerations when purchasing a wifi plan is the speed. The speed determines the pace at which you can perform each task, how many tasks can be performed simultaneously, and the number of devices that can be connected at a time. It’s important to opt for a high speed internet plan that will allow you to do all your tasks without slowing down if you’re using multiple devices at once or if more than one person is using the same connection. If you find your pages taking very long to load and your videos buffering, you should upgrade to a high speed internet connection.
