How to Fix Slow Wi-Fi at Home
Slow Wi-Fi is usually caused by one of three things: router placement, channel congestion, or an overloaded device. Start by moving your router to a central, elevated location — away from walls, microwaves, and cordless phones which all interfere with 2.4 GHz signals. Log into your router settings and switch to the 5 GHz band for devices that are close by, since it's faster even though it doesn't travel as far. If you have a large home, a mesh Wi-Fi system like Google Nest or Eero is far more effective than a single router with extenders. Finally, restarting your router once a week clears cached connections and often makes a noticeable difference. If you've tried all of this and still have problems, the issue is often with your ISP or modem — call us and we'll diagnose it for free over the phone.
