HOW DO I MAKE MY WI-FI CONNECTION FASTER?

The frustration of waiting for what seems like forever while your computer tries to load Internet pages or stream content is very real for those with slow Wi-Fi. It is not unreasonable to want to find a way to make your Wi-Fi connection faster.

If you stream high definition (HD) content, you will need an Internet speed of at least 5 Mbps. This contrasts with the 1-2 Mbps that is required for those who have only basic needs when it comes to their Wi-Fi service. One reason that your Wi-Fi runs slow could be that your Internet service provider (ISP) has provided you with a weak router. If this is the case, you can call them to upgrade your plan and pay more for a stronger router that delivers faster Wi-Fi. Another alternative is to purchase a device that strengthens your Wi-Fi signal throughout your house.

You can also boost your router to 5 GHz to help speed up your Wi-Fi by completing the following steps:

  • Use your administrator sign-in credentials to log in to your router
  • Select Settings, locate the Wireless Settings tab
  • Change the band from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz
  • Select the “Apply” option
  • Restart your router, which should show the new settings applied
