Today is an era of 5G where everyone wants high-speed internet without any interruptions in online content. Buffering of video content, pausing of videos in between, stopping of playlist while playing online music, dropping off level while playing games, failed transactions due to poor internet network can are very annoying. To avoid all this we need high-speed internet and for that here are few tips
Data Cap: Mostly ISP doesn’t advertise the data caps for different reasons which at last messes up with a user’s internet connection. That’s why it is recommended to always look at the data cap because it’s the major loophole in slowing down the internet speed. Having a check on it, you can use a fixed or certain amount of data every day without exceeding the limit. However, exceeding the limit would restrict your internet speed again; thus, herein, it is suggested to change your data plan.
Reset & Reposition Router: With a continuous supply of internet, the heat of the router slows the internet speed. Thus, it is required to give a break to your router by resetting it. You can reset it by turning off the router for some time. Also note that, if you have a separate modem then, the modem also requires the same process of resetting. Resetting stimulates the connection to ISP which enhances and improves the speed.
Secondly, after turning on and off the router/modem; if the speeds’ issue is still the same then, reposition the devices. Try not to place it at some remote corners of your house as it interrupts the Wi-Fi signals. Thus, always place a router on the most visited floor or room where you mostly surf the internet.
Ethernet over Wireless Connections: People use Wi-Fi in different ways such as cabled or wireless connections. However, using ethernet over a wireless connection is a suitable alternative as the cable gets a direct signal from the device whereas wireless connections face interruptions due to over-the-air transmissions of signals. Moreover, with the changing weather conditions such as rain, storm, or windy season, ethernet works without interruptions whereas wireless has more chances of signal breakage.
Block Advertisement: Today undeniably, the internet is flooded with a million advertisements in different forms and formats. Thus, sometimes blocking ads result in high-speed internet. Install an adblocker of your choice into your device and this will help you in making some breathing room by blocking unnecessary ads that eat up and slow the internet speed.
Close Tabs: Internet surfing doesn’t restrict to one tab. While diving deep, naturally a user starts opening different tabs all together which unknowingly slows the internet speed. Hence, close the tabs that are not of your use and purpose as; multiple opened tabs at a time results in network interruptions.
Antivirus & Scanners: Antivirus acts as a drug for your system which helps in virus protection and enhances its longevity. If you haven’t installed antivirus and associated scanners yet, install it today because any hidden virus without your knowledge not only causes drag to your internet speed but also acts as a termite to your system, damaging it from inside.
These are some basic and simpler ways that a user can do without being dependent on an engineer or a technician. Following such ways can result in high speed and an uninterrupted internet connection.
