If your Wi-Fi is slow, several common issues might be the culprit. Start by checking your router placement—ensure it’s in a central, elevated spot to minimize obstacles and interference. Next, look for channel congestion; if many devices are connected, consider disconnecting some to reduce bandwidth consumption[5][6].

If these adjustments don’t help, assess the age and performance of your hardware. Older routers may struggle with newer standards and multiple devices. Upgrading to a more modern router can often provide a significant boost in speed[4][3].
