Troubleshoot your WiFi and fix your slow internet

“My internet speed is slow” “my ISP is crap” “Why is my Zoom video conferencing buffering?”  these have to be one of the most frequently written comment on my How To Get Faster Internet and WiFi series on my YouTube channel. It’s time to learn how to troubleshoot your WiFi; especially now that we are all working from home and our kids are learning from home.

Whenever I hear “I have slow internet”, I go through these steps and it’s amazing how simple it is and how often these make the world of a difference. If, after going through these steps your internet is still slow, then, by all means, call your ISP.
