Connectivity and speed are always the main concerns when it comes to the internet. Consumers don't want slower loading times or latency. There are several ways one can improve if faced with similar issues.

Ways to Improve:

Manage Device Network

Another way someone could boost their speed or connectivity is by controlling the network itself. Usually, a router has an app that allows users to manage devices. One can control which device is allowed to receive an internet connection at designated times. For example, If a person needed to prioritize his computer’s connection during work hours, he can deny internet access to any other device in his network. The connection and speed would improve since the router would only be working for one device.

Router Reset

A simple router reset can take care of slower speeds or connection problems. Routers have the potential to get overwhelmed with the amount of information that passes through. A reset can free up the router and allow for a smooth transfer of data.

Ethernet Connection

An Ethernet cable is similar to network device management. It provides a direct internet connection to the preferred device without forcing another off the network. As a result, the device will not experience latency or slower download times. However, the downside to using an Ethernet cable is physical range. The cable must be plugged into a router or Wi-Fi extender. Cable lengths usually vary depending on necessity and the store of purchase. It is a great option if you want to be cost-effective when troubleshooting an internet tissue.

System Upgrade

A system upgrade should be the last resort option when it comes down to fixing internet issues. The phrase “you pay for what you get” definitely is the rule of thumb when it comes to buying routers. Newer generation routers will carry a larger price tag. If you want a router that provides higher speeds, then be prepared to spend extra as well. Matching brands and utilization are two additional factors. It is ideal to use multiple products under the same brand to guarantee compatibility. Lastly, utilization can change the basis of a system upgrade. For example, if you own a larger home, one router may not provide enough coverage. A mesh system may need to be purchased to counteract that. The system uses one router and two satellites, usually. The internet is sent to the satellites from the router in order to create coverage.
