Why is my laptop’s Wi-Fi speed slower than expected?

< 1 min read

To troubleshoot a potential issue with slow Wi-Fi speed, here are some suggested steps:


  1. Verify the internet connection speed using a speed testing app, such as Ookla Speedtest
  2. Check the distance of the computer from the router, and try moving the computer and router closer together
  3. Power cycle the router (turn it on and off) to refresh the connection
  4. Identify any other devices that may be connected or near the router, and disconnect any that are not being actively used
  5. Check to see if the router’s firmware is up-to-date
  6. Enable the Quality of Service (QoS) settings on the router, if available
