Increasing The Speed Of Your Slow Computer Internet Wifi

If when you connect your computer to your wifi, your computer is slow; but if connected to other devices, those devices are fast, then your computer is the likely problem - the network driver is the likely culprit.

These steps below will help your computer internet wifi speed (especially if an old Dell computer - E6400, E6500, et cetera) to increase drastically.

When I formatted & I reinstalled my windows, connecting to WIFI and intending to browse the internet was extremely slow. Even connecting to Xender via hotspot to transfer files - the download of the files from the phone (no internet) were slow. Upon searching on the internet and from a combination of tips, the below steps did work. My computer was back to being fast. I have windows 10 installed on my computer, and this worked on windows 10. It should work irrespective of windows version, though.

You may also try out the below steps if you just want to increase your wifi internet speed (even if you are comfortable with the present speed) it may be valuable in boosting speed.

The steps to increase your computer's internet speed are:
