How to Get a Faster Internet Connection

How to Get a Faster Internet Connection

Improve Your Internet Speed

I’m pretty sure at some point, you have experienced a slow internet connection. It is the most frustrating event to encounter. Imagine waiting for a movie to load or playing a game online and the internet begins to lag. Here are several steps to improve your Internet speed: Try using a different browser. Sometimes it is the browser that’s causing things to move at a snail pace. As web pages become more sophisticated, you’ll need a quality browser to handle the number of processes and cut back on ads and other non-essentials. You can try Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera and see if it makes a difference. If it also helps, try removing unwanted add-ons, extensions and plugins as it slows down the time it takes for the web page to load. Also, try closing unused tabs as these may automatically refresh themselves and consume a lot of bandwidth.

The Router

Another reason for a slow internet connection may be due to the router. You may have to change your wireless to a different channel so that it doesn’t have to be weighed down by other routers nearby which are trying to broadcast on the same channel. You can scan the wireless networks to see which channel isn’t so congested. Then find your wireless connection in the list and then choose a channel that is not overburdened with many networks. You will need your modem/router’s IP address which can be found in the documentation for the router/modem and then choose an appropriate channel between 1-11.

Repositioning Your Router

You can also try repositioning your router by placing it in a central position where there is direct and unobstructed line between the computer/device and the router. Also, try to avoid interference from other wireless devices by removing devices such as cordless phones and other devices with an antenna.
>You can also try using an Ethernet cable for a faster connection or perhaps it is just time to get a new router which may be more up to your speed.

Test the Speed of Your Connection

Try optimising the Internet Service Package as your Internet Service Provider may be the source of your snail-paced connection. You can test the speed of your connection to determine approximately what speed the ISP is providing. Once you get the results, compare it with results from another computer. If both result turn out to be slow, contact your ISP. You can also upgrade to a better package for faster internet connection. You can ask the same provider for a deal or discounted upgrade in exchange for being a loyal customer. If they can’t do that, look for another ISP which may provide additional benefits for being a new customer.

Optimise Your Computer

You can try to optimise your computer by closing or removing programs that are hardly in use as these reduce the computer’s memory and thus reduce the speed of the connection. Also, check your computer for viruses and spyware as these also use a lot of memory which results in a slow connection. In addition to running the malware scan, ensure that you are using only one firewall. You can also defragment your disk which will improve the overall performance of the computer and speed up your connection. You may also have to make some upgrades to the computer such as updating the RAM for a faster connection or updating the OS. try a different operating system.

If this still doesn’t work or if your computer is over five years old, you may need a new computer. If a new computer seems too expensive, try using an older OS or using an OS that can be used through the browser.
Also, try to turn off your computer every night. Although most of us do not do this, it can make a big difference with regards to performance as leaving it in standby can reduce the memory of the machine and therefore reduce the speed of the internet.

Home Wi-Fi VS Internet Modem

Posted on: February 17th, 2017 by Ace No Comments

Home Wi-Fi VS Internet Modem

Let’s just admit that we love the internet. There is so much to do and see online and so much to learn through Google. The good news is, there are two ways to get online. You can either use a wireless connection or a wired connection. So which is better – Home Wi-Fi vs Internet Modem ? To determine which one might be better for you, we have weighed the pros and cons of each.

Mobility

When it comes to mobility, wireless is the way. Wireless connections means numerous users can go online without physically connecting to the apparatus. As such you are not limited by a small number of ports. Plus, there are no wires or cables involved thus having the advantage over the wired systems which would require you to be as close to the modem as possible and which may need to be replaced when they no longer work. Also, wireless connections mean that there are no bundles of cables around the home which can be quite an eyesore and look quite messy and can take up quite a lot of space.

It also allows multiple devices and mobile devices to use the same internet connection and to move around the network area without hassle. Finally wireless systems are more cost effective as less apparatus is required.

Wired Networks Provide the Faster Speed

However, wired networks provide the faster speed as it provides up to one gigabit per second when connected. This makes file sharing a lot easier and quicker than using wireless systems. Connectivity and speed may be an issue for wireless systems can begin to slow down when multiple devices and users connect and this can be a huge problem especially when you want to watch your favourite show or want to download a game or some music. Also, as convenient as a wireless system is, it can be prone to interference by external factors such as furniture and appliances that also broadcast signalsthus reducing the bandwidth. This means that you may have to move closer or reposition the apparatus for best results with a wireless system. Finally as wires are the source of connection, there is little to no interference with wired networks.

Security

Also with regards to security wired networks have the upper-hand. As you need to be physically connected to access the network, it is highly unlikely that anyone can hack into the system. In comparison, WiFi networks broadcast signals, which gives hackers easier access. If you lack experience, it is simpler to physically connect to the internet. Setting up wireless networks is complicated.

Choosing to get online, whether through a wireless or a wired connection, depends on your internet needs. Once you know your preferences it would be easier to choose which setup works for you so that you can use the internet to its’ full advantage.

Home Wi-Fi VS Hotspot

Posted on: February 17th, 2017 by Ace No Comments

The internet is a great resource. I mean what can’t you do or find online? There are two types of Wi-Fi that helps you get online: Home Wi-Fi and Hotspots. So which one should you be using ? Read our helpful guide to make your decision – Home Wi-Fi VS Hotspot.

Home Wifi

Home Wi-Fi allows you connect to the internet in the privacy of your own home. You can download and access files and applications with ease and within the comfort of your own home. It is a private Wi-Fi connection which means that no one besides those who live in the household and those you allow to have access to the Wi-Fi can use the network. It allows you to connect multiple devices at any one time within the household which can be quite convenient. As it is a private connection, it less susceptible to virus attacks and device hacking. You should configure your router and network to ensure further protection.

Although it’s comfortable to have home internet, the connection can slow down over time. Routers and other devices that operate on the same frequency can interfere with your internet speeds. To fix this, simply move furniture towards the walls and remove devices that use antennas and broadcast on the same frequency.

Your connection can be slow if you have connected multiple devices. Take action by disconnecting the devices that are currently using the Wi-Fi or turning them off altogether. You can connect to the router via an Ethernet cable, which should allow you to browse the internet much faster. It may be costly to set it up at first as you may need to buy lots of equipment and hire a technician to install the equipment or if you try to do it on your own, may take up a lot of time.

Hotspots

If, for some reason, you cannot connect to the Wi-Fi at home and have exhausted all possible options, (and you really have to meet important deadlines and need the internet NOW) you can try to connect to a hotspot which can simply be found at a local café. A hotspot is an area/business with a range that’s receptive to a wireless broadcasting device, typically called a Wireless Router.

Although it may be free and easily accessible in comparison to home Wi-Fi networks, it’s not without its’ own faults. It is generally accessible to the public. The moment you connect your device to the network, you are putting your device at risk. You are more likely to be hacked or affected with viruses and malware. Data theft and account theft can occur as the unencrypted data allows for information to be transmitted back and forth between the Wi-Fi Network. Your login information can be stolen easily if not encrypted.

If using a hotspot, you should always employ a VPN – Virtually Private Network. Your device should also use a firewall when connected to a Hotspot. If several other users are using the same Hotspot and have also connected all of their relevant devices, the speed can decrease significantly as these devices are sucking up the bandwidth. This is not as easy to fix in comparison to a private setting where it would be much easier to disconnect the various devices and possibly reset the router and other apparatus.

It shouldn’t be a hassle to connect to the internet and depending on your needs; you can get online within the comfort of your own home. Each type has its own set of benefits and risks, so choose wisely when trying to get online.
