Perform a Network Speed Test.
Other network users in your household doing bandwidth intensive operations like video streaming, gaming, or downloading software updates, may negatively affect your connection.
- Consider implementing bandwidth quotas to your household devices. (Refer to your access-point documentation.)
When using Wireless Connections, proximity to your access-point can make a dramatic difference to your connection speed, especially when separated by obstructions such as walls. Especially with modern high speed short-wave technologies such as 5.1GHz.
- Try moving closer to your access-point and compare your speed-test results to when you are further away. Relocate your workspace or access-point to improve your connection.
- Use a wired connection to your access-point. Modern laptops often lack an Ethernet port, but USB adapters are available.
