Causes
The presence of obstacles between the router and the device is one of the main reasons. It is obvious, and all users understand this, that the further away we are from the device, the slower the connection will be. What we sometimes do not expect is that we are just a few meters away and there is a problem. There could be some furniture or another device that causes the slowdown. Network saturation can be another cause, although this is rare, since companies have a powerful infrastructure that solves it. However, it can happen and there is no need to despair. It is more common that the router is placed in an incorrect position or that there are many devices connected at the same time as reasons for having slow Internet. This is not a reason to despair, because there are solutions.
Change the router
The router's position is a common factor when the speed drops. It is advisable to place it in an elevated position because this way it can offer a better signal, as well as move it away from other electronic devices that could cause interference. The presence of obstacles around such as walls or furniture is another point that has to be considered, so it is a good idea to place the router in as open a space as possible. Changing the channel is another valid option to solve the problem. Most devices with these characteristics have different channels and if there is interference, it is possible to change the configuration to find another channel that may work correctly. Also remember that the router is an electronic tool that wears out with use and the passage of time, so it is a good idea to change it from time to time , especially if it gives signs that something is failing.
