Internet Speed

[yasas2010]

Ask the provider about this issue machan. But first connect to your router via LAN cable and shut off all other devices which uses your router.
Check your speed test several times. See if you(laptop/desktop) or the router has any DNS settings configured. (Ex: Google DNS)

Try to stick to basic/default settings your router provider has given. If there is no change then you can esquire from the ISP and i'm sure they will tweak some settings for you.

PS: Speeds and QoS is directly affected by network cable length, version of network cable (like Cat6, Cat5e) and most of all any electrical wires that near by to your cable.

This is so important machan. Thank you so much for the info. I think this LAN cable means the Ethernet cable right? Ill try to do something

Yes sorry my bad. LAN cable means Ethernet cable. Go for STP Network cable machan or network patch cable as the market says. Cat6 offers good speed and quality over Cat5E.

STP cable (Shielded twisted pair) will have aluminum foil over its wires to minimize any electrical interference comes from nearby wires. (mostly electrical wires)

check device compatibility

I did machan

Hey no bother big lad. Always happy to share my knowledge.

PS: I'm not a network expert but this is basic stuff.

Yes you may need thunderbolt adapter. If you want to surf internet (watch videos, photos etc..) use WiFi connection. But if you need low ping highly reliable internet connection(best for play online games, file upload etc.) then use device's LAN port to connect to your router.

Also see if you're using 5 GHz channel to connect to your router. It will have a less coverage area and tend to get low quality signal if it comes through walls and packed rooms but great for large file download/upload speeds.. Use 2.4 GHz channel to get far better coverage but affects your Down/Up speeds.

If you're router has a fallback method enables that means 5GHz/2.4GHz a/g/b/n protocol match and serve the handset that connects to the router then also you'll get quality issues. Oh.. there are so many things to say when it comes to WiFi so go for Ethernet cable connectivity.

Well i'm working as a business analyst and comes from software engineering field. I have studied wireless network systems as a main module under my Masters.
