With so many devices sharing your Wi-Fi network, your Wi-Fi speeds might seem to slow down. Wired connections provide the best internet speeds, but they aren’t always convenient when everyone needs internet access at work or home. Try some of these tips to improve your internet speed:
 

• Disconnect Other Devices-Disconnect other devices and close all other programs, applications, and browser tabs (except the tab with the Speed Test) on your device to eliminate network congestion.
  
  
• Move Your Router-Place your router in a central, elevated, open location away from walls, metal objects, and objects that transmit radio waves like cordless phones, microwaves, & Bluetooth devices.
  
  
• Check for Environmental Interference-Test your speed in different places around your location. Distance from the router and interfering objects can affect speeds.
  
  
• Connect to 5GHz Network-If you have a dual-band router, connect to the 5GHz network unless you are far away from the router or your device isn’t compatible.
  
  
• Check Your Router-Make sure your router operates on the 802.11ac standard.
  
  
• Password Protect-Protect your network with a strong password to prevent others from using your WiFi. Use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.
  
  
• Check the speed of your device’s connection to the Internet.  Log in to MyAccount to run a speed test.
