When you sign up for one of the comprehensive TeleChoice plans, you know you’re signing up with one of the leading network providers. While a TeleChoice broadband connection offers some of the best and most reliable internet speeds in Australia, particular factors might affect download speeds on your home network. Seem to be struggling? Here are some tips on how to improve your home network from the experts at TeleChoice Adelaide. 

We are relying on steady internet connections, now more than ever. Over the past year, our home broadband connections have become vital for work, education, information and entertainment, which means that slow or sub-par home network connections just aren’t going to work.  

TeleChoice broadband solutions are designed to give you a reliable connection, that offers some of the fastest up and download speeds. However, sometimes things are standing in the way of you reaching the speeds you need.  

Feel like your internet connection is low or lagging? Here are some troubleshooting tips you can use to help you fix the problem.  

Reboot Your Router 

It’s a common question asked by IT specialists, “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” The thing is, a lot of the time, it works.  

A good reboot now and then will enable your router to de-frag and get rid of any glitches or blocks to your connection. Check your router manual on exactly how to reboot your router. 

Update Your Router’s Firmware 

As with a reboot, sometimes all you need is a good update. Firstly, You’ll need to make sure your computer is connected to your router’s wi-fi network and then access your IP address via a web browser.  

You’ll need to:  

  • Type your IP Address into the search bar of your preferred web browser.  
  • Enter your username and password (you should be able to find this in your user manual if you don’t know it off-hand) 
  • Find the ‘Firmware Update’ section.  
  • Download the update that is specific to your model.  
  • Extract the file and move it to your desktop.  
  • Go back to your browser and within the ‘Update’ section, click ‘Choose File.’  
  • Select the update folder on your desktop and start the upgrade process.  
  • Reboot your router once the update is complete.  

Use Your Ethernet as Much as Possible 

Using an ethernet connection is far more reliable than wi-fi. So, make sure you use as many of your Ethernet ports as possible and use them to connect to your significant devices, like Desktops, Laptops, Gaming Consoles, Streaming Devices and Smart TVs. Ethernet connection should automatically improve your speeds.  

You can check for your Ethernet ports at the back or on the side of your router. Be sure to buy quality cabling for the best results.  

Are you still struggling with your download speeds? Perhaps it’s time to switch to one of the many, comprehensive TeleChoice plans and secure one of Australia’s fastest, most stable internet connections.  

Our team of experts at TeleChoice Adelaide will make sure you find the perfect plan to fit your internet needs.
