How can I make my Wi-Fi faster?

Start by making sure you have a good Wi-Fi signal. Most devices have a Wi-Fi icon in the corner of the screen that shows your signal strength. You can improve your Wi-Fi signal strength by moving closer to your router, minimizing Wi-Fi obstructions, and ensuring that you’re using the appropriate Wi-Fi frequency band. If you are struggling with your Wi-Fi coverage, here are the best ways to extend your W-Fi range, which can help your speed in more remote areas of your home.

How do I know if I need a faster internet plan?

Where should I put my Wi-Fi router?
