Broadband And How To Get The Most From It
Anyone who pays for broadband every month will need to make sure that they are getting the most from it. There are just so many reasons now why we need a good internet connection and using your broadband correctly will ensure that this happens. The following tips should help you to make sure you are getting the most from your broadband connection.
– Many people don’t realise that the biggest problem they have with their broadband actually stems from the fact that their computer is interfering with their ability to get the most from it. A lot of people pay a lot of money for a good internet package but they are not able to benefit from this because their computer just isn’t up to the job.
You can improve the performance of your computer by conducting regular maintenance tasks such as defrag of the hard drive; even emptying your recycle bin can improve performance.
– If you are using an extension cord to connect your computer to the router then you will want to have this as short as possible. The best way to ensure that you get optimum broadband is to connect the router to the phone line directly. An Ethernet connection on Wi-Fi is what you really should be using.
– There is one main disadvantage of using Wi-Fi and that is the fact that it can be affected by electrical interference. One way to avoid this is by not having anything that produces an electrical signal in the same locality as your Wi-Fi connection. You will often find that there are parts of your home where the Wi-Fi signal is more easily picked up; you may want to locate your computer there.
– It is essential that you have sufficient amounts of RAM (Random Access Memory) on your computer because without this, your internet will still be slow no matter how fast your broadband connection actually is.
