Consider upgrading to a newer router and adapter with the latest Wi-Fi standards and higher gain antennas which supports heavy simultaneous usage from multiple devices better.
Regularly update the driver and firmware of your router and network adapter. If you often have a slow Internet connection, ask your ISP for assistance in solving the issue. Check the result against the speed your ISP is supposed to be providing. Do a speed test online (if you don't have an app, type speed test into your web browser and pick one) or ask your Internet service provider (ISP) to test your download and upload speed for you. Check your speedįor a high-quality video call, both you and the other participant need to have enough bandwidth. This also includes reducing potential interference from neighboring Wi-Fi signals.
Avoid being close to other electronic devices (microwaves, cordless phones, baby monitors), preferably in line of sight of your Wi-Fi devices. Get closer to the router or add a repeater to improve the signal strength. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and your device. Pros: Faster throughput, less congested channels, more channels that don't overlap.Ĭons: Shorter range compared to 2.4 GHz networks, doesn't go through walls and other obstacles as well as 2.4 GHz networks, not as widely used by other devices. Pros: Longer range, better at going through obstacles (for example, walls), better support (more wireless devices support 2.4 GHz compared to 5 GHz).Ĭons: Slower throughput, fewer channels that don’t overlap, more congested than 5 GHz networks because household devices (for example, microwaves and cordless phones) and Bluetooth devices use the 2.4 GHz network band. Choose the right Wi-Fi bandwidthĬhoose 2.4GHz or 5GHz based on your home layout. Download a Wi-Fi Analyzer app that can check for Wi-Fi dead spots, congestion caused by too many devices connected, and any interference areas. A poor Internet connection can cause low-quality audio and video, delays, and dropped calls.īelow are some tips on how to improve your internet connection.
