What could be causing my internet to be slow on my laptop?
- Restart your computer. This will close any background applications that may be slowing down your network.
- Check for viruses or Malware. Viruses and malware can slow down your computer times significantly and cause your internet to be slow as well.
- Check your settings. Make sure you have the latest firmware, software, and drivers installed for your computer and Wi-Fi router.
- Check with your Internet Service Provider. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) could be having a slow connection due to an area wide issue. If this is the case, there is not much you can do but wait for it to improve.
- Check your Wi-Fi connection. Make sure that your Wi-Fi router is placed in an optimal location for maximum speed and check if there are any obstacles blocking the signal.
- Check for too many connected devices. If too many devices are connected to your network at the same time, this can slow down your connection significantly.
