Why is my wifi slow

There can be lots of different reasons your internet connection is slow. Some common problems include:

• Too many background programs are slowing down your computer

• You have an old or outdated wifi NIC

• Poor wifi signal in your house or office

• You are too far from your router

• You could have a virus or spyware using your wifi or blocking your access to the internet

• You have too many devices on your wifi at the same time, slowing down the signal

One good way to test if it is your wifi or your laptop is to connect to the internet through your phone’s network. If you connect your laptop to the internet through your phone and it’s still slow, then you know it’s not your network.
