Run regular speed testsKnow your testing patterns in advance. Check your download/upload speed using a free tool like Speedtest.net or Fast.com. Compare the results with the plans promised by your ISP. If there is a persistent discrepancy, please contact your ISP for troubleshooting or updates. Protect Your Wi-Fi NetworkAn unsecured network is an open invitation to hackers. Always: Change your router credentials (admin/password). Make your network less visible. Optimize Router LocationWi-Fi signals weaken through walls and obstacles. Place your router: Place it in a central location in your home. Use Ethernet to perform basic tasksFor tasks that require a stable connection (such as phone calls, games), please plug the device directly into the router via Ethernet. Mobile connectivity reduces latency and eliminates WiFi congestion. Update Firmware and DevicesOutdated router firmware can lead to security issues. Log into your router’s admin panel every month to install updates. Likewise, keep your firmware up to date to guard against security vulnerabilities. Monitor data usageMonitor your data consumption to avoid limits or overages. Most ISPs offer tools for this in their apps. Consider unlimited plans for heavy users or schedule large downloads for off-peak hours. Enable Quality of Service (QoS)QoS settings (in the router dashboard) prioritize bandwidth for specific tasks. Give running apps or games more priority to avoid buffering while using maximum capacity. Investing in a Mesh Network for Large Residential HomesTired of dead zones? Mesh systems like Google Nest WiFi or Eero can cover your home and eliminate vulnerabilities.
