My ATT internet speed was slow (1.5 Mbps out of a possible 6.0 Mbps), so ATT tech support determined my router needed replacing with a new ATT $80 Modem-Router, which was wrong (I didn't need a new $80 Modem-Router).
The problem was solved with 3 easy Free Steps by myself after looking online: (1) physically move the modem and router at least 2 feet apart to get rid of interference. This immediately doubled my speed to 3.14 Mbps; (2) Updated my Router firmware for free from the manufacturer's website. This increased my speed further to 3.5 Mbps; (3) Run the free program TCP Optimizer, which brought my internet speed up to 5.21 Mbps (out of a possible 6.0). The acceptable range is 3.5 to 6.0 Mbps. These 3 free easy steps quadrupled my wireless internet speed! Hope this helps others.
Slow Wi-Fi?
Try those... Restart your router once in while! Why? Sometime your router get gets bogged down!! Turn off logging inside your router!! Why? Sometime logging slow down your router/default gateway!! Turn on your firewall inside your router aka default gateway!!! Why? Sometime this is turned off by default!! You need to have router firewall aka hardware firewall and software firewall on each pc!! I use… Windows build in firewall and firewall form my antivirus company plus router firewall!! *Some time your pc firewall software that came with anti-virus may not let you turn on windows build in firewall!! **Warning…This is only for your own network!! Put password for your Wi-Fi!! This way you can block your neighbors from your unprotected Wi-Fi network!! If they are downloading or you are download or someone in your house downloading then real time commination example "VoIP" or "online gaming" will slow aka "lag" down!! Note that on a TCP/IP network speed will suffer if you or someone is downloading files on your network!! What fixed my internet speed? These seem to fix my slow YouTube video loading!! I used Firefox Browser with some plugins!! Example: Ad block plus and element hide plugin and HTTPS everywhere from eff.org!! Disconnect.me site has a Firefox plugin get it and install it!! It stopped my spinning circle YouTube loading time dramatically!! Also…….. ** Warning…This is only for your own network! I also… have changed my "Wireless Channel" option in my Wi-Fi router to a different channel!!! There are 11 channel available on your Wi-Fi network!! Also.. I put the correct time and date on my router!! Now I get …. Now I get 4 bars out of 5 in my signal bar!!!! I hope these helped you!! |
