Fix slow home Wi-Fi in 5 steps

1. Restart properly

Turn your modem and router off at the wall, wait 30 seconds, and power back on. It clears the most common glitches — do this first, every time.

2. Move the router

Central, high and out in the open beats tucked behind the TV or inside a cabinet. Every wall, mirror and appliance between you and the router costs signal.

3. Pick the right band

The 5GHz band is faster up close; 2.4GHz reaches further through walls. If your network shows both, use 5GHz near the router and 2.4GHz in far rooms.

4. Cut the clutter

Too many devices streaming and backing up at once will choke any connection. Pause big downloads and check nothing’s hogging bandwidth in the background.

5. Consider a mesh system

For larger homes, a mesh Wi-Fi kit spreads several access points around the house for even coverage — far better than one router straining to reach everywhere.
