If you have realized you don鈥檛 have the speed to play online games then there are a couple of steps you can take to be sure you can do this. If you live with one or more people and are trying to get speeds fast enough, check to see if the others are streaming daily or watching videos often. All of these activities use a lot of data so it might be best to change plans to one with a higher data cap and download speed. You could also disconnect any devices that connect to the internet and eat up bandwidth. Another step you could take is to use a hardwire connection, it will give you quicker speeds since it will be a direct connection to the router. It won鈥檛 be the most convenient way to play, but it will give you better speeds. If you can鈥檛 use a wired connection then get as close to the router as you can, this will allow other objects to not get in the way of the signal. One last option is to check to see how old your router is. If it is over five years old then you might want to consider an upgrade, there are routers that specifically handle the best internet speeds for gaming. If lag is a big issue then an upgrade would be worth it.</p> <a href=https://www.rsinc.com/internet/texas/>TX</a>聽  <a href=https://www.rsinc.com/internet/california/>CA</a>  <a
