Changing DNS on the router level: This will vary depending on the type of router used in your home so google the specifics of your router , but for most routers, typing " Often this will prompt a pop up asking for a username and password to log in.

User Info: Rayder Rayder 6 years ago 7 Sony throttles their bandwidth. Tech Support. It must be so annoying, right? Needless to say, it must take you hours to save the file to your device. These are just two of countless examples of how slow connection and speed issues cause bad internet experiences for us.
Many things can be the reasons behind not good WiFi download speeds. From your outdated router, wireless interference, to bandwidth throttling, … any of these causes can result in poor internet performance.
However, you will need much more internet bandwidth if your house has multiple devices using the internet, which participate in activities requiring a heavy download of internet data, such as streaming, downloading large files, and more.
Internet data flowing to your home network works quite like a water pipe. So, a low internet plan with inadequate bandwidth might be one of the top reasons to consider. Bad router spot, outdated router, and running the router for a long time without restarting it can cause slow WiFi downloading speed.
The environment around the WiFi router can significantly affect the quality of your wireless network. We all know that Wi-Fi signal travels through the air within a certain range. Due to that, placing the router in an inappropriate position such as: under the shelf, or in your concrete-walled basement, or somewhere that does not allow the wireless signals to spread well and equally around the house, high chances are that your connection gets slowed down or even blocked.
Most electronic devices and equipment, including the router, are not made to run continuously. Similar to PCs, smartphones, or others, modems and routers can sometimes get stuck in an overloaded, slow state.
Outdated routers may also lead to issues with your WiFi connectivity and slow down your internet connection. Older routers, in fact, run old wireless standards. As a result, they may not be able to support fast signals. As transmitted through the air, WiFi signal strength tends to be highly prone to various factors.
When it comes to mobility and flexibility, WiFi connectivity outweighs wired one.
