Improve Connection Speed on Windows with ApexGuard

If you’re experiencing slow speeds on Windows, try these steps:

Basic Troubleshooting

1. Make sure you’re using the latest version of the ApexGuard app.
2. Restart your device.
3. Restart your router or modem. If your router is configured for VPN, try using the VPN only on your computer or phone instead.

Optimize Your Connection

1. If you’re on Wi-Fi, switch to a wired connection.
2. Connect to a VPN server closer to your location.
3. Close background apps that use bandwidth, such as file-sharing or streaming software.

Check Hardware and Software

1. Update your network drivers (Ethernet adapter, motherboard) and your router firmware.
2. Check whether antivirus or security software is scanning VPN traffic, which can slow the connection.

Upgrade Your Hardware

Older ISP-provided routers may have outdated firmware or weak performance. A modern router can improve your overall speeds.
