How do I speed up my Wi-Fi?

By Adam Neely
Quick answer: A clear router location and a few tests can reveal whether the slow part is Wi-Fi coverage, one device, or the internet connection itself.

A clear router location and a few tests can reveal whether the slow part is Wi-Fi coverage, one device, or the internet connection itself.

  1. Restart the router and test beside it.
  2. Move it high and into the open.
  3. Update the router and remove unused devices.
  4. Compare a wired test, if available, with Wi-Fi before changing plans.
Good to know: A faster internet plan cannot fix a dead zone caused by poor router placement.
