Basic Troubleshooting

Check Hardware and Software

1. Update all drivers and software, including:
   • Ethernet adapter and motherboard drivers.
   • BIOS updates.
   • Router firmware.
2. Temporarily disable your firewall to see if it impacts speed. Adjust firewall settings if necessary.
3. Close background applications that use bandwidth (e.g., file-sharing software).

Upgrade Your Hardware

Older routers provided by ISPs may have outdated firmware or poor performance. Investing in a modern, high-quality router may improve your internet speed.
