What to do when Wi-Fi is slow and short

1. Restart the router and also the device where you have problems. This is a very simple and quick step that won’t take you more than a few minutes in the worst case scenario and usually works in many cases as it fixes the possible errors that have lodged in the mentioned devices. To restart the router, you must disconnect it from the mains for at least one minute.
2. Scan for malware on the devices you are having problems with. In many cases, the source of all internet connection problems is usually lower impact malware that we are often unaware of. In this case, reboot the device after removing it.
3. Problems with range and signal stability, a problem that is also very common and that is fortunately harmless and easy to fix. If your Wi-Fi is slow and only drops when you move away from the router, you already know where the problem is. Changing the location of the router is the fastest and most economical solution in this case, but I understand that there may be cases where this is not possible due to the cable installation itself. If this is your case, a Wi-Fi repeater or PLC will be the best choice.
4. Many connected devices and/or background downloads, which are also very common causes and easy to solve. Reduce the number of connected devices and stop unnecessary downloads that can eat up bandwidth to increase speed and prevent outages and crashes.
5. Intruders on your Wi-Fi network, a problem I experienced myself at the time and it was really annoying. If you want to throw out intruders in your Wi-Fi network, just change the password and that’s it. Note that if you have multiple zones and they all share the same password, you must change the password for all zones.
