WiFi & Internet Issues


Most internet and Wi-Fi issues are related to your current agreed on speed with your provider and or the number of connections on your home network.


The following are tools and information to assist any troubleshooting on your home network.

Testing Your Connection

There are tests that will check the speed, latency, and jitter of your connection. This is key, and will help validate the service being paid for by households or subsidized by districts.

SpeedTest.net and Fast.com are two, easy to use services that work on all providers.

Multiple Device & Stream Notice

It is important to be aware of how many devices that you have connected and online at the same time.

Too many devices on and connected online at the same time can cause stress on a network and may lead to speed issues. A typical household with download speeds being 5mb - 20mb may need to temporarily disconnect or turn off Wi-Fi on other devices to allow the speed of the Wi-Fi network to improve.
