This led to an increase in the demand for the infrastructure of the Internet, which reduced the reluctance range available to each user, and left people frustrated at slow internet speeds..

Although Internet service providers may not be able to respond immediately to these changes, there are some tricks that you can use to enhance the speed of the Internet at home.

- Why is the internet speed slow?

There may be many reasons that make the internet speed slow.The use of the Internet requires a reliable connection between your device and the destination, which may be a actually present servant on a far site.

Your contact with this server can pass through hundreds of devices on his journey.And if not one point on this path optimally, this may significantly affect the experience of using the Internet.

Web servers are often affected in particular by external factors, including service rejection attacks (DOS), as excess traffic in traffic increases pressure on the server, and hinders the appropriate performance.

Although you may not control these matters from your home network, this does not mean that you do not have options to improve your internet speed.

- WiFi signal reinforcement

The access point (wireless router) is used in your home network to connect your devices to the Internet service provider.Most access points provide a limited wireless signal, which can suffer from the interference of nearby signals, such as your neighbor signals.

The "channel" is a type of "virtual tube" through which the data is transferred.

Although your devices are designed to avoid overlap by replacing the channels automatically (14 channels are usually available), it may help to verify the router settings, some of which are assigned to one channel by default.And when trying different options to reduce interference, it is recommended to select channels 1, 6 or 11 because it can help reduce problems (for network 2.4GHz wireless).

What can you do too?

There are other things that can be tried to improve your WiFi signal.If the router supports 5 GB Wi -Fi signals, the switch can provide a faster data rate, but at shorter distances.Resttract the router for the best coverage (usually in a central position).

The difference lies between Wi -Fi signs 2.4 GB HD and 5 GB HD, at different data transmission speeds.While 5 GB Hz can transfer the data faster (with 23 available channels), it provides 2.4 GB Herz is a wider range.And if you want to speed, move to 5 GB Hz.For better coverage, choose 2.4 GB Herz.

Some home appliances can cause interference with your router.It is worth verifying whether using a microwave oven, wireless phone or child control device, affects your connection, all of which may use the router frequency itself.

The use of the WiFi network can help to cover, by strengthening or extending the signal.

Viruses and malicious programs

To avoid computer viruses, be sure to check regularly from updates on your devices and use the antivirus program.It is also useful to restart your router to survey certain malicious programs (designed programs to destroy your device or server), such as VPNFIRTER - a malicious program that affects more than half a million routers in more than 50 countries.

You must also check the following:

• Does the router need to replace it with the latest model?, This may be the case if it is used for many years.The latest models also support improved functions and faster internet speeds.

• Has the fixed program for the wireless steering device updated?You can do this by visiting the device manufacturer's website.This will help repair problems and provide additional functions.This update is unlikely to take place automatically.

Planning your use of the Internet

If there are many people who broadcast the video in your home, which often requires 10 times the request during the day, then a completely limited internet connection will be used.

Try to plan your activities and family members on the Internet at peak times.Before Corona's disease, most of the internet use was likely to be directed at the beginning of the evening, after the end of commercial activity.With the transition to remote work, the Internet is likely to increase during the day, with a 10% increase in general, and a 30% increase in peak times..

Outside of your home, connecting to the "best effort" plan, which shares the fixed domain width with other users.In other words, the internet frequency range for your phone with others in your area, when they reach the Internet at the same time.The width of the joint frequency range produces slower individual speeds.

The number of people who enter the Internet cannot be controlled, but your internet activity can be managed by downloading large files or content overnight, or outside the peak hours.

And taking into account all of the above, it is important to remember that when using the Internet, we share a limited resource.Just like buying pasta or toilet paper, there are many who need it just like you, so use it wisely.
