Compare another device in the same location, then restart/reconnect the slow device before changing the router.
Step by Step
- Test another device from the same physical location.
- Restart the affected device.
- Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
- Forget and reconnect to the Wi-Fi network if needed.
- Check for large downloads, cloud synchronization, updates, or background activity.
- Move closer to the access point and retest.
- Update the device and its network drivers/software when appropriate.
If That Doesn't Work
- If every device is slow, the problem is more likely the internet service, router, interference, or network load.
- A weak signal in one location can affect devices differently.
