Slow Wi-Fi is the most common reason people call us, and the fix is often free. The trick is figuring out where the slowdown actually happens before spending money on a faster internet plan you may not need.
Start with a wired speed test
Plug a laptop directly into your router with an ethernet cable and run a speed test. If the wired number matches what you pay for, your internet plan is fine and the problem is your Wi-Fi signal, not your provider.
Where the router sits matters more than you think
- Keep the router out in the open, not in a cabinet or closet.
- Raise it off the floor and away from thick walls and metal.
- Central to the home beats tucked in a far corner.
If you have a large or multi-story home, a mesh system usually solves dead spots far better than a single powerful router. We can help you pick one that fits your space without overspending.
