Why is my internet speed slower during online gaming sessions?

< 1 min read

To improve your internet speed during online gaming sessions:

  1. Close any applications, websites, or programs that are running in the background and are using up internet bandwidth (i.e. streaming content).

  2. Check to make sure your computer is running on the most recent version of antivirus and anti-malware software. If outdated, update them.

  3. Move your computer and game console closer to the modem/router for better and stronger signal.

  4. If your router supports it, connect your computer and game console to it via ethernet cable instead of wirelessly.

  5. Perform regular router resets as part of your internet maintenance.

  6. If server/internet is slow, consider playing online games at off-peak hours (i.e. 3am).
