Why is my Wi-Fi slow? 8 fixes you can try at home

When the internet feels slow, the cause is often inside the home: where the router sits, how many devices are connected, or an old device. These fixes solve most problems.

Fixes to try

  • Restart your router. Switch it off, wait 30 seconds and switch it on again.

  • Move the router to an open, central spot, away from walls, metal and the floor.

  • Get closer. Wi-Fi gets weaker through walls and over distance.

  • Use a cable for a TV or computer that stays in one place.

  • Disconnect devices you are not using, and stop large downloads running in the background.

  • Update your phone, laptop and router software.

  • Change your Wi-Fi password if you think others are using your network.

  • Test your speed with a device close to the router to see if the issue is the Wi-Fi or the connection.

When to call us

If speed is still low with a device near the router or on a cable, call our helpline at 09644-252525 between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM and our team will check your connection.
