5 Ways To Improve Your Home Internet Connection by BridleTech: 3:01am On Nov 19, 2018


A poor internet connection can really be frustrating, it can slow then your productivity at home if you are trying to finish up some task. A lot of factors can contribute to the poor network, like broadband router configuration errors, wireless interference, or any of several other technical issues with your home network.

In this post, I will be explaining 5 ways you can improve your home internet connection. These tips are to diagnose and fix the causes of your slow Internet connection.

Make sure your router and other network equipment are working
If your routers, modems, or cables are not working properly, you will not be able to enjoy fast internet connection. To troubleshoot potentially faulty equipment, temporarily rearrange and reconfigure your gear while experimenting with different configurations. Systematically try bypassing the router, swapping cables, and testing with multiple devices to isolate the slow performance to a specific component of the system. Then, decide if it can be upgraded, repaired, or replaced.

Check your router settings


After making sure your network equipment is working, the next tips will be to check your router settings. If the settings are not correctly configured, it might result in a poor internet connection. For example, the MTU setting of your router can lead to performance issues if set too high or too low. Ensure your router’s settings are all consistent with the manufacturer’s documentation and your Internet Service Provider recommendations. Carefully record any changes you make to your router’s configuration so that you can undo them later if necessary.

Avoid wireless signal interference
Wi-Fi and other types of wireless connections often perform poorly due to signal interference, which requires computers to continually resend messages to overcome signal issues. Household appliances and even your neighbors’ wireless networks can interfere with your computers. To avoid slow internet connections due to signal interference, reposition your router for better performance and change your Wi-Fi channel number. It is important to note that the closer your device is to the router, the better the Wi-Fi connection.

Stop background programs
Some software applications on a computer run background processes that are hidden behind other apps or minimized to the system tray, where they quietly consume network resources. Unlike worms, these applications are designed to do useful work and are not the kind that a person wants to remove from a device normally. It is easy to forget these applications are running. Check your computers for any programs that are running in the background when you troubleshoot a slow network.......http://bridletech.com.ng/2018/11/improve-home-internet-connection/
