I'm sharing this around to my (many) friends frustrated with their home network speed. Thanks so much.

Great tips. This is coming from an isp troubleshooter. Only thing missing is to check your computer card. If it will only handle 500 and you are paying for a gig, you’re wasting your money unless you want to upgrade your computer .

I enjoy this channel and look forward to new videos. Here's something that I hope will help someone with slow wifi. My 2-yr old laptop was testing at a slow download speed on a 2.5 Gig system with little else using bandwidth. By accident, I discovered my power profile was the culprit. It was on max battery and minimum processor power. When I changed it to "high performance", my wifi speed consistently tests about 3 times as fast. ( By the way, I had changed my power profile to high performance, but found that it keeps switching back to max battery. That will be my next issue to resolve.)

Always the greatest info. Thank you.

Very detailed and step-by-step implementation of what needs to be done. Thank you.

Don't try to use wifi in an older home. Up until around the 50's or 60's, walls were made of plaster over a wire mesh. That wire mesh will block your wifi signal almost completely.

Btw I'd love watching a vid clarifying settings found in most modems and routers that are not as explicative as they could be! (In other words: the ones that aren't evident to understand.)

It makes me sick, and ANGRY, when I see you can get 1 GB fiber for not much more than I have to pay for "up to 300Mbps" with a DATA LIMIT. This is all because regional monopolies are still legal and there is not competition here. 🤬 But I am happy for you and others who pay less.

You should also really consider the source you download from. Your slow download speed could also relate to the fact that you are actually just connected to a server that cannot push out a certain bandwidth. Some sites will take longer than others for certain downloads. It may just be the site you are connected to.

I pay for 300mbps and regularly get 340mbps. It’s up 99% of the time too.

When I was using AT&T for broadband, I was supposed to be getting 50 Mbs, but I usually was in to 35-40 Mbs range. I called them and was told, after some testing and resetting that, since I was getting 75% of what I was supposed to get, there was no issue. I asked them if it was OK if I just sent them 75% of the bill. They didn't like that. I soon switched to Spectrum, which was a much better option. My speed usually exceeds what they promise.

I noticed that with Comcast if you’re using your own router instead of theirs they will limit how much data you can download (around 1TB per month) so they will throttle without you even knowing. Unfortunately even with the highest speed with your own router it will throttle. You unfortunately have to pay a extra $30 a month for unlimited. But since I did it I can actually stream in 4K through twitch without any issues with fr drop.

Because when I move my laptop right next to the modem it works better. 😭😭

you got one thing right at the first of the video its upto the speed your paying for but this can only happen in the best possible conditions and you also need the supported hardware to also attain said speeds as well, we had a 300mbps router and only say 90s down and 10s up so we went and got a gigbit router which also allowed us to turn on gigabit on our computers then we say more then 3 times the speed so do the math kids you need the rest of the gear not just the package you paid for .

Check your modem/router can support all your devices. 1. check your modem/router settings and all the connected devices. 2. Check for damaged cables. 3. Check for bottle necks: Modem or Router. If your router has so much bandwidth but you have 8 devices all connected to your router then you might want to upgrade your router to a higher bandwidth.

Hoping you will do a vid to fix network (not internet) speeds. I am having big issue trying to get faster than 7mbps large file transfer from one computer to another on my local system. I upgraded to dual band (using 5ghz) router, usb 3.0 external adapters on both computers. Security settings?? Win10 one one machine, Win7 on other. Still the same!

I am paying for fiber at 1GB speed. When I am connected by cable directly to my router, I get 840mbps. On wifi, I get maybe... 350-400mbps. The difference is so big!! I am about 10 meters away from my router. I am using a CAT6 cable.

@renegade_patriot

Жыл бұрын

With wifi you usually get way more packet loss, that drop in speed is normal.

At 10:40 you said simply place your router in range of devices but it still needs a cat5e cable to new location,not worth drilling for one,I allways use couple of reserves (about 10m) and just roll them in dry wall cable is cheap,if customers have some "new ideas" after year or so it comes handy

Not exactly why you assume people have an option. Century Link is a monopoly here. We only get 25 mega bits per second max on DSL. They refuse to change it because that would mean they would have to spend money to upgrade our area. We can't even get cable here. I live only 2.2 miles from town.

Not all gaming lag is caused by internet traffic. Input devices can also cause this, drivers can cause this, bad RAM can cause this, graphic card can cause this.. so many bottlenecks that have a probable cause outside of the internet. If you have a problem with lag and you think your internet connection should be ok, you need to go down the list of probable causes. Clean driver installs would be the first thing to do in any case. try different resolutions, running certain high taxing games on max settings on 4k with RTX on can cripple your machine if it can't handle it. causing more issues than just lag.. Reddit offers many checklists on almost every popular game for you to check out.

Solid information but I would only add one thing. There are dishonest techs that work for the ips's. And the service May encourage them to be that way. But first I'll say not all of them are dishonest. That being said, don't let them do like one tried to do to me. He kept insisting I was getting the 200 MBS that I was paying for because he could see it on the cable on his side of the router. I was only seeing 40 to 50 MBS on my side of the router. He thought I was stupid. They lost me as a customer and when the provider kept calling me to try to get me to come back I told him I wouldn't because I didn't like being lied to by their technicians.

I don't own a smart phone. For my laptop internet I have to use a fairly old USB modem. Is there any way I can still increase the internet/wifi speed? I live a few hundred metres from a huge repeater tower, and still only get 1-3 Mbps.

I have a unique situation for you... I want better LAN distribution over my two WAN connections. I have an openwrt based load balancing duel WAN router. Even when multiple devices attempt to connect to a server the load balancer always only uses one of the internet connections at a time. It will switch back and forth between WAN's but always sending traffic down only one connection at a time. I would like to know if there is a mwan3 rule or policy which will route new connections to the "least" active WAN connection? My DSL connections are only... 5.5Mb/s and 6.5Mb/s 😞 Ao you can understand the frustration... Example: I am downloading a file using most/all the bandwidth of one connection and my daughter turns on the TV to watch Netflix and she constantly gets the pausing buffer circle because the load balancer is fixated on using only one of the connections at a time instead of routing her traffic down the other connection improving the experience for the both of us???

Sorry, but bad advice about using a mesh to increase the range of the wifi. Not that it wouldn't work, but both apple and android use mesh to pass your information to other devices on the mesh network in your area, which ultimately sends it to headquarters. This is a major violation of privacy.
