One way is to move your router throughout your house and see which position works best for you. Placing it near or behind other devices like microwaves and tvs or placing it in a dresser can drastically decrease the performance of your connection. The more open the space and higher up the router is the better the signal will be, it is best to place it near where you work most often as well. Before you call your customer support it is good to test your internet connection by plugging your computer by ethernet up to the router. This will show you if it is actually the router/modem or if it is something else, then you can call your internet service provider and give them more details on what is wrong. Hitting the reset button is the most common step to take for people in this position. It is important to take note of username and password, IP address and security keys before the computer goes to complete default state. Calling your internet service provider will always get some questions answered, but it is good to have as much information as possible so they can help you out as well.</p> <p> How to Boost Internet in Rural Areas<br><br> Ahhh, rural life. Picturesque views, fewer people, and … slower internet?<br> Not necessarily. There are several ways to boost your internet signal if you’re experiencing slow speeds. <br> Reposition your router<br> Your router’s location is vital to your internet and wi-fi performance. Routers don’t belong behind other appliances or in enclosed spaces like closets. Also, place the router close to the area you use the internet most – the home office if you work from home, in the living room if you’re a gamer, etc. However, since most households have multiple users, placing the router in an open area – the higher up the better – is optimal because the signal can reach more of the house.<br> <br> Upgrade your router<br> Your router may not support your internet technology. There are many reasons for this, including the router’s age or that not all routers support large spaces or an increasing number of devices. That means if you move from an apartment, have kids, or get a job that requires new technology, your router probably needs updating. Identify the real problem<br> <br> Sometimes the internet speed coming into your property is reliable and fast – the problem is that the wireless signal isn’t performing well. To find out if that’s your issue, test your internet speed using an Ethernet cable.<br> <br> Reset – carefully!<br> Avoid using a router’s hard reset option. This reset is on the back of the router and requires a paperclip or a pen to access. Doing a hard reset returns the router to default mode, which means it “forgets” information like the ISP username, password, IP addresses, security keys, and opened ports and services. <br> However, restarting your router – by unplugging it, waiting about 10 seconds, then plugging it back in – can temporarily improve your internet connection. It won’t last forever, though, so consider using the methods above versus constantly restarting your router. <br> If you’re having trouble with slow internet in rural areas, these tips will help. </p>
