In light of this, we are here to provide you with some hacks and information on how to increase your internet speed. Let’s dive in!
A sluggish internet connection is a very familiar foe to anyone exploring the internet. Before considering an upgrade to your service, here are some tips you can try for a start:
Reset your router
Install anti-virus
Use an ethernet connection
Connect to a VPN service.
This involves resetting your router every month or so to give the device a break and refresh your internet connection. This can help dispel hacking attempts, reset the router’s limited memory to help speed things up, and even apply important updates that your router may have been waiting on. This is more like power cycling and can often flush out a bunch of problems that affect your speed.
You can install an antivirus and malware scanner. If you haven’t already done so, we highly recommend installing an antivirus. Sometimes viruses can live on your computer and suck resources away from what you are doing thus slowing down your speeds. Once you have some good software on board, set it to scan for viruses and malware automatically on a regular basis.
Generally, wireless connections are awesome and convenient, but they are not always fast. Cabled connections like ethernet, will always be faster and more reliable than wireless ones. Rather than WiFi, you can use a wired Ethernet connection to the ports on your router if it is close enough to your PC. Try getting that ethernet cord out of the box and plugging it straight into the modem, especially if it is for your desktop computer and you don’t need to move it around very often.
Some ISPs (internet service providers) will throttle bandwidth based on certain activities, such as hitting a soft data cap or streaming services. If you have evidence that your ISP is throttling bandwidth like this, a VPN can help by hiding your activity so the ISP doesn’t have the data It needs to make throttling decisions. Only try this as a solution if you are sure your ISP is being shady.
