What internet speed & why is it necessary?

Internet speed generally refers to the amount of data your internet connection can transfer per unit of time. The unit of data used to refer to internet speed is megabytes per second. Download speeds refer to the megabits of data per second required to download data from any server. Upload speed, on the other hand, refers to the megabits of data required for you to send information.Fortunately, there are numerous tips and tricks that can help minimize unnecessary resource usage giving a speed boost to your PC. In this post, we’re sharing various tips, techniques.

1) Turn of your unused or extra devices connected:- 
In most cases, your unused internet-connected devices are sipping marginal amounts of your bandwidth. However, if you have multiple phones, tablets, smart TVs, computers, smart home devices, and video game consoles sharing your home network, all of that data usage can add up and result in reduced available bandwidth.
Additionally, you may think that your devices are sitting idle, but if they’re on, they’re likely still using data. Many devices are now set to automatically download and install updates as they become available. That’s not just system updates, either. That includes individual app updates. And if you’re running a lot of smart home devices, these may be drawing a large amount of bandwidth as they are often always on and will likely automatically install firmware updates. 

2) Reboot your router:-
When your computer starts acting a bit sluggish after running for a few days straight, what do you do? That’s right, you reboot it. Doing so helps clear cached memory and any background processes you don’t need, making your computer run faster (until it develops a backlog again). Your wireless router is also a small computer. It holds memory and background processes and caches information. It can also benefit from the occasional reset to get things going just right again. And after a reset, it will reconnect to various data channels, often resulting in landing you on a more efficient, less crowded channel.

To effectively reset your router, do the following: 
Completely remove your router’s power cord Wait 15-30 seconds seconds Turn your device back on and wait until it begins broadcasting a connection.

3)Change password:-
You have to change password on regular basis for proper speed of internet. Only One password doesn't used when using wifi.it may hack or may jam your password by your service provider. Password change give atleast 25-35% of the internet speed.

4)Increase wifi range using DIY hacks and tricks:-
If your main problem with your internet speed is the distance from your wireless router, and your router is unfortunately stuck in one location, you do have some options. Outside of purchasing a faster router, you could hack your router to boost its signal. One option is to install new firmware onto your device, allowing it to output more power. Router firmware options such as DD-WRT and Tomato allow you to gain more control over what your router can do, potentially improving your speed. Use a wired connection If you have devices close enough to your wireless router and modem, you may want to consider using a wired ethernet connection where possible. Not only will you experience faster speeds through the wired ethernet connection, but you can save bandwidth in your home wifi network for other device.





You  can either connect an ethernet cord directly to an available port on your wireless router, or on your modem. You may or may not see results through this method, however. In attempting to produce higher speeds through this method, I only saw marginal results. That said, I also do not have an extra ethernet port on my cable modem. You may experience better results if you connect directly to your modem instead of through your wireless router.

5)Check your router for firmware updates:-
our router’s manufacturer may have firmware updates waiting that need to be manually installed. If your router has a touchscreen, you can check for firmware updates there. Otherwise, you may need to log into your router’s settings using a web browser and check to see if there are any available firmware updates. In most cases, however, your manufacturer will push these firmware updates automatically and they’ll install without your direct input.

6)Use a VPN to bypass ISP throttling:-
If you notice that your internet connection only seems to slow down at certain times, or when you try to access specific websites (such as Netflix), there’s a chance you’re being throttled by your ISP. ISP throttling is the term we use to describe when an internet service provider purposely slows down a user’s internet connection. 
There are a number of reasons why your ISP might be doing this, which can include: ISP policies against using certain websites (such as torrenting sites) Broad throttling during periods of high congestion (known as the “Internet Rush Hour”) Purposeful throttling of certain data-intensive websites, such as online streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video Enforced data caps If you have an internet plan with a data cap, there’s little you can do once you reach that cap. The type of speed throttling that occurs in that case is delivered through different methods.

7)Scan for viruses:-
The next thing you need to do is make sure that no virus itself is causing you to slow down. Sometimes viruses can live on your computer and suck resources away from what you are doing thus slowing down your speeds. Shorten and replace ca bles The length of your cables and their structure can affect speeds. Try replacing old phone cables, sockets and lines and instead use shorter and newer ones. This can often make a big difference. 

8) Supply of the router be constant:-
If you are using the wifi Router,you must give Supply yo router through the stabilizer.if you don't use router your Supply couldn't be constant for the proper operation of the Router equipment or may damage your Router.

9)Placed your router on open area:-
If we use our Router in narrow area the coverage of signal is very low which reduces the speed of the internet.it more important to placed your router on open area.Router never be placed in a single room which is also dangerous for for the human health.

10)Router placed on 3-4feet from the ground:-
When router release signal it's I'm electromagnetic in nature always want to settle down to ground but when we used on proper height it speed and catch-up signal is better position.

These are the basic methods to increase your internet speed,you must try it at once.
Best of luck!
