    Wi-Fi help?

    My wifi for my house is usually very fast and doesn't take too much time to load up pages and can watch videos at 720p and stuff like that. But these past few weeks it feels impossible to navigate any site. I don't know what it is, it shows my wifi connection with 4 bars but everything buffers soooo slow.

    Is there any fix to this?

    Reset router
    Turn on/of wifi in your device
    Call service provider

    All this fails throw device out window sometimes works to solve the problem of having the problem.

    This, except that last part lol. But yes, a full reset should help exponentially. Unplug and leave off for 10 mins or so.

    Just 30secs will do nothing longer

    Could be the service provider too doing maintenance of some kind or weather as well big factor.

    Are you on Windows? Open up command prompt (start->run->type cmd->enter) and in that window type tracert google.com

    Post the results (this will reveal your IRL location so you can PM it to me if you want)

    Use a program like "Fing" for Android/iOS to see devices connected to your wi-fi.
    Maybe your wifi isn't secure.

    Change wifi password, use wpa2, filter by MAC address.
    All of this you can do it on the browser by going to the address 192.168.1.1 (Usually)
