Here is a list of things that you can do in order to troubleshoot and fix the issue of slow internet speed on your laptop in a coffee shop:
- Check the Wi-Fi Signal Strength
Make sure that your laptop is not too far from the Wi-Fi access point and you are getting adequate signal strength. - Reduce Background Apps
On your laptop, try to close all unnecessary applications running in the background in order to reduce traffic and increase speed. - Turn Off Network Intensive Tasks
Any tasks or services that need a large amount of data transfer, such as file backups or downloads, should be paused while trying to achieve higher speeds. - Refresh the Connection
In some cases, you may need to disconnect and start over to improve the network speed. - Update your Device Drivers
Driver updates can help you gain better connections to your router or other network device.
