5 not so obvious ways to Speed Up Your Home Internet

With many now working from home, the internet connectivity in the house is being strangled. In this article, you'll learn some of the pro tactics to squeeze every last ounce of internet speed out of your home broadband line.

The Master Socket

If you have an ADSL or Fibre to the cabinet connection, make sure you have your internet modem plugged into your master socket. The extensions sockets should not be used for the modem.

Microfilters

This applies to ADSL and VDSL lines. Microfilters split the signal on the phone line for data and voice. If you skimp on filters, you run the risk of a slower line.

Router Position

Place your router in a central location, away from walls and other electronics that can cause interference.

Update Firmware

Keep your router firmware updated for best performance and security.

Change WiFi Channel

If your neighbors are on the same channel, switching can reduce interference.
