I Fixed My Laggy Internet With 4 Simple Tricks, and You Can Too
Slow internet can be a major headache when you're streaming, gaming or working from home. Home internet is also expensive, so you don't want to get stuck paying for speeds you're not getting. I was on my provider's second-fastest speed tier -- 1 gigabit, the fastest available at my address -- and yet there I was experiencing internet trouble. Considering more than half the US population has access to gigabit internet, it's important to make sure that your home internet is working smoothly. While sometimes you can blame your internet provider or an outdated router, in other cases, there could be other minor issues that could be easily resolved in a few simple steps. As someone who writes about broadband daily, I've realized the value of a good internet connection and that troubleshooting your speeds doesn't have to be complicated. Here's what I learned. 'Enough is enough' The red flags are there for a reason, so don't ignore them: the buffering, the slow downloads and the interrupted Zoom calls. I wouldn't usually have paid attention to these signs, since I had never had a problem with my internet before. A solid internet connection has become vital since I started working from home in 2024. My family and I also noticed that streaming our favorite shows, like the newest season of Squid Game, had become a pain due to our fluctuating speeds. I finally gave in, said enough is enough and contacted my internet service provider, Verizon Fios. The Fios agent was shocked that I was experiencing internet issues since I was on the company's second-fastest tier, the gigabit plan. "You shouldn't even be experiencing fluctuating speeds with your plan," the Verizon Fios agent said over the phone. I was stumped. Locating local internet providers I didn't want to make a hasty decisionswitching out my current provider or buying a new router. So I turned to CNET's advice for help. What is gigabit internet? Your internet speed is measured in megabits per second. In other words, your speed is measured by how much data can be processed over a network in a second. Gigabit internet refers to 1,000 megabits. The more data processed over your network, the better your connection performs. Here are some of the top ISPs that offer gigabit service: Top providers that offer gigabit internet As of June 2024, data from the Federal Communications Commission show that over half of the US population has access to gigabit speeds. Service typically ranges anywhere between $50 to $90 monthly. You can find gigabit service from internet providers such as Frontier Fiber, Google Fiber, Optimum, , AT&T and more. Though cable providers like Spectrum and Astound Broadband's gigabit plans are more widely available nationwide than other ISPs, but might be pricier down the line. You could end up paying double your initial price after a year, since most cable providers are notorious for hiking up their prices after a year. Depending on the connection type available at your address, most fiber ISPs like AT&T and Google Fiber won't increase your prices after a year and can offer symmetrical download and upload speeds of 1,000Mbps, whereas a cable connection may only top out at 35 to 50Mbps. To learn more about where you can sign up for gigabit service, read our review on gigabit internet and the best fiber internet providers for July 2025. 4 expert tips to boost your internet At the start of this journey, I felt like a kid riding their first bike. It felt daunting because I didn't know where to start. Thankfully, one of our pages details how to boost your Wi-Fi connection in four simple steps. Here's how it went. 1. Take a speed test These speeds were well below what I expected from my gigabit connection. Something was wrong. Ookla screenshot by Trisha Jandoc/CNET Before you do anything else, conduct an internet speed test. I chose Ookla's speed test because this is the format I am most familiar with. CNET recommends Ookla for its consistency, and it also shows you your speed test history once you create an account. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.) This step was fairly easy. I conducted a few speed tests online. The image above is a test I took near my workspace. Speeds of 248 to 275Mbps aren't bad, being on a gigabit plan supported by a fiber connection makes them surprising (and disappointing). I took it a step further and went to an area of my home where we experienced the most internet trouble. I found a significant speed drop when I ran a speed test in my basement. Ookla screenshot by Trisha Jandoc/CNET I avoid working in the basement most days because the internet is inconsistent. After conducting a speed test, I found our speed dipped to 76Mbps in downloads and 19Mbps in uploads. This area is the farthest from my router, so it only makes sense that the signal is weaker. According to the FCC, the minimum mark for broadband speeds is 100Mbps download and 20Mbps upload. My speeds were missing that mark. It should be noted that Ookla is not the only speed test you can try. Just recently, CNET broadband expert Cierra Noffke tested out the Orb internet speed test. Noffke writes that it doesn't just test your download and upload speeds. Orb, which was developed by the same creators of Ookla, measures the overall health of your home network using multiple metrics and continuous speed tests. On the other hand, if your household uses mostly streaming services, is a solid option, as it measures your internet's capacity to stream Netflix. M-Lab is also at the top of my list, as it has an easy-to-use program. You can always keep it simple as well by turning to resources from your provider. My provider (and many other ISPs) also offers its own Verizon Fios speed test. 2. Move your router or your workspace This next step requires you to experiment a bit with your router's location or your workspace. It wasn't easy to uproot my entire workspace, so I moved my router closer to my existing workspace area instead. This step wasn't a significant change because the router was already placed across the room from my workspace. You should ideally move your router to a central location. Using an Ethernet cable might be helpful, especially if the new location of your router is far from the modem. In any case, moving your router too far from the modem might prove troublesome. You can try to raise your router instead and mount it to the wall, if possible. That way, you don't need to jump through all these hoops to install an Ethernet cable. 3. Add a Wi-Fi extender If moving your router is not an option, try contacting your internet provider for additional equipment. After contacting my ISP, I discovered that a Fios Wi-Fi extender came with my plan at no extra cost to my monthly service bill. The extender came with a small guide, and at first glance, it seemed pretty simple. Obtaining equipment from your ISP is not the only option — many Wi-Fi extenders currently on the market support Wi-Fi 6. CNET previously named the TP-Link RE605X as the top pick for the best Wi-Fi extender due to its affordability and easy-to-use controls. Note: TP-Link routers could be banned sometime this year due to a recent government investigation. That said, the next best thing is the Linksys RE7310, currently priced at $90, which tied in performance with the TP-Link RE605X when we tested them. Check out our other top picks for the best Wi-Fi Extenders. Pair your extender to the router The extender came with a coax cable, a coax splitter and a small set-up guide that outlined four steps: confirm the internet connection, plug it in, pair it and finally move the extender to a designated spot in your home. Seems simple enough, right? I went through the first three steps without running into any issues. I paired my extender to my router using the coax cable. Placing your extender Things took a turn with the final step. After pairing, I unplugged my extender and moved it to the basement, where the signal was weaker. The light from the extender wasn't the solid white it should have been. Instead, it was a yellow color, meaning the extender was disconnected from the router. Solving this problem took some time as I went back through the set-up guide and covered my bases again. During this process, I also discovered Verizon Fios' complete Wi-Fi extender set-up guide online. Some ISPs offer customers the option of self-installation. Here are some of the top internet providers nationwide that have how-to pages and guides dedicated to installing devices that boost your internet: The complete set-up guide mentioned an Ethernet cable, but I was not provided one, so I wondered if that prevented my extender from connecting to the router. I contacted Verizon Fios to make sure I was not missing any parts. Per our conversation, Verizon Fios confirmed that an Ethernet cable is recommended but not necessary. The coax cable works just as well. Ethernet offers a wired connection through cables, which you can plug directly into the router, and should provide faster speeds than Wi-Fi. CNET's own Hallie Seltzer tested this at her home. After pairing, place your extender in an area not too far from the router. Trisha Jandoc/CNET I decided to pivot my approach and placed the extender a bit closer to the router, near my workspace. After a few minutes, I saw a solid white color -- the sign of success. 4. Prioritize your traffic Manage your work traffic at home by tweaking your router settings. Trisha Jandoc/CNET After installing the extender, my internet speeds surged, making this step optional for me. If you cannot obtain a Wi-Fi extender, you can try managing how much bandwidth your household consumes through your router settings. For instance, Verizon Fios allows customers to set up parental controls, which can eliminate access to certain websites. Other routers can even schedule access to the network for certain devices. This process will look different depending on your internet provider and your equipment. How much speed do you need for your home? High-speed internet may be enticing, but you may not even need it. According to OpenVault's first quarter 2024 report, over a third of Americans use the internet at gigabit speeds, a 20% increase from 2023. In addition, its fourth quarter 2024 report shows that the average American household uses 569Mbps in downstream speeds and 32Mbps in upstream. In other words, if you can access gigabit speeds, it should be plenty fast for your household. Finding the right speed will also boil down to your household's activities. Check out our speed recommendations below. Our speed recommendations 1Mbps: Sending emails Sending emails 5 to 10Mbps: Web browsing Web browsing 10Mbps: Using social media Using social media 10 to 20Mbps (or 35Mbps in 4K): Streaming in HD Streaming in HD 25 to 35Mbps: Online gaming For more information, read our comprehensive internet speed guide. Why you might not be seeing the speeds you're paying for Even if you are on your provider's fastest plan, there is no guarantee you will see the exact speeds promised. What's advertised by your ISP may not be the actual speeds you get. Many conditions can impact your internet speeds. According to AT&T's website, certain materials, dense walls and even furniture can obstruct your Wi-Fi signal. Other common factors contributing to a weaker signal include outdated equipment, poor router settings, bad weather and extreme cases like hacking or malware. In addition, finding the right Wi-Fi band for your router or investing in a network switch can also help optimize your internet connection at home. To ensure you're making the most of your internet, read our guides on how to weatherproof your internet and secure your connection from hackers. My main takeaways Speeds in my basement increased after installing the extender. Ookla screenshot by Trisha Jandoc/CNET Once I successfully installed my extender, I conducted another speed test in my basement and I saw a surge in my internet connection, coming in at 598Mbps in download and 187Mbps in upload. What I discovered about optimizing my speeds at home Router and Wi-Fi extender placement are key . The location of your router and extender is directly proportional to optimizing your speeds. Give it a few tries and place your extender in different areas of your home. Ensure you don't place the extender too far or close to the router. .

Ultimate Guide to Orbi Router Setup & Installation
The Netgear Orbi mesh system consist of router node, and satellites connected with your ISP modem via cable. The router will connect with the modem via cable but you can connect the satellites with the router wirelessly. There is a whole 5-10 minutes process of Orbi physical setup and Orbi router login interface. Here are the correct instructions and tips to finish the setup quickly. Orbi Router Setup and Configurations It's easy and simple to complete the Orbi router setup with the help of correct and complete instructions, which are given below: Unboxing the Orbi Package You're going to find three main things in your Orbi kit (assuming you got the router + satellite combo): Orbi Router (RBR) – This is the main hub. It'll connect to your modem. – This is the main hub. It'll connect to your modem. Orbi Satellite (RBS) – This extends the signal. Think of it like the WiFi lifeguard on the far end of your house. – This extends the signal. Think of it like the WiFi lifeguard on the far end of your house. Cables & Power Bricks – You know what to do with those. Disconnect your old router. If you're replacing something, unplug that mess. We're starting fresh here. Cable Up the Router Here's the barebones setup. Super simple: Connect the Orbi router to your modem using the included Ethernet cable. Plug in the router. Wait for the LED ring on top to start pulsing white. (If it does nothing, double-check the outlet. Yes, it happens.) Once it pulses white, it's booting up. Give it 2-3 minutes. Patience, my friend. Now grab your phone or laptop, and connect to the default Orbi WiFi. You'll see something like 'Orbi-' on your WiFi list. Using the Orbi App (or Not) Okay, now there are two ways to proceed: Option A – The Orbi App Download the Orbi app from Google Play or the App Store. Fire it up. It'll walk you through the whole thing—detects your router, sets up your network name and password, and even helps position your satellite. Option B – Manual Setup via Browser Old-school? No app? Go to in your browser. Default login is usually: Username: admin Password: password Follow the on-screen steps to: Create your new SSID (WiFi name) Set a strong password Update firmware if prompted (do it—it matters) Setting Up the Satellite Here's the part where most people get confused. Setting up the Orbi satellite is easy if you don't overthink it. Place the satellite about halfway between the router and the edge of your coverage area. Plug it in. Give it a minute or two. You're looking for a solid blue light on the satellite. That means perfect sync. Other colors: Amber : Fair connection. Maybe move it a bit closer to the router. : Fair connection. Maybe move it a bit closer to the router. Magenta: Nope. Not connected. Try again. If things go sideways, press the Sync button on both the router and satellite. Wait a couple minutes. Still not working? Reboot both. Fine-Tuning Your Network Here's where you take control. You didn't buy Orbi to use it 'out of the box' forever. Tweak it. Log into the admin portal ( or 192.168.1.1) Change default login (again, don't leave 'admin/password') Enable guest WiFi if friends or freeloaders show up often Update firmware manually every now and then (they actually fix stuff) Check device list — find out what's eating up bandwidth And yes, Orbi supports Tri-Band Mesh, so don't worry about devices dropping between router and satellite. It handles handoffs pretty smooth. Now, you should learn about a few impactful troubleshooting tips to make the Orbi setup smooth and error free. Troubleshooting Tips Here's some stuff that will go wrong at some point—and what to do: Slow speeds? Reboot everything. Yes, everything. Modem > Router > Devices. Reboot everything. Yes, everything. Modem > Router > Devices. Satellite not syncing? Bring it closer to the router temporarily. Sync. Then move it back. Bring it closer to the router temporarily. Sync. Then move it back. Can't log into the app? Delete and reinstall it. It might work to resolve the issue. Delete and reinstall it. It might work to resolve the issue. Firmware stuck? Wait it out. If it fails, do it manually through the browser interface. Ending Thoughts We are hoping that you have followed the above given steps to complete the Orbi router setup. And at the end learned some tips to make the Orbi network performance better. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

‘Glaring' NBN issue exposed as Aussie left without internet: ‘Frustrating'
When I switched internet providers six months ago to take advantage of a better offer, I expected the process to be relatively straightforward. After activating the new connection, I hooked up my modem — only to find it was still connected to my old service. While calling my new provider to ask a few questions, my neighbour knocked on my door to tell me their internet had been disconnected. My neighbour and I share nearly identical addresses — think 25A and 25B Main Street. Both homes were built at the same time, and it turns out the NBN had somehow wired the houses backwards on the network. RELATED Telstra customers threaten to boycott after third price hike since August Top 10 superannuation funds revealed as Aussies receive 'double-digit' returns Compensation sought for millions of Qantas customers hit in major cyber data breach This was confirmed when my neighbour called to restore their service, and mine was cut off. As we had clearly identified the issue, you might imagine this would be a simple problem to fix. You would be wrong. At this stage, with both my neighbour and I disconnected from the NBN, we contacted our ISPs. My ISP, Superloop, said they could register the issue with the NBN and swap the addresses, but it was best to keep both connections offline while the request was processed. My neighbour called their ISP, who said they could not lodge an issue with the NBN unless he already had an active connection. After consulting, we decided to wait for Superloop to resolve the issue for both of us. Days passed. Despite repeated assurances from Superloop that they would return my calls and fix the problem, communication was one-way only. After more than a week without internet and several calls, my neighbour proposed a solution: why don't we get connected to the opposite addresses — the ones not matching our house numbers but actually connected to our homes — and then ask our ISPs to correct the addresses later? I called Superloop again to ask if we could do this and was told, 'No problem'. So, I cancelled my pending order and created a new one for my neighbour's address. This all worked quite well. I was connected to the NBN within about three hours, and it worked perfectly. Weeks later, hoping for closure, I contacted Superloop again to have my address corrected officially. Frustratingly, I was told I would have to close my account and start fresh by calling the sales team myself. Exasperated, I refused. A sympathetic representative promised a callback and personal oversight. Two months later, I had still not received that callback. At this point, I reached out to Superloop with some questions and began writing this article. That initiated a series of events which finally solved the issue, and encouraged the ISP to change their customer service process. Frustrating problem finally leads to a solution When I asked Superloop why they couldn't directly update incorrect addresses in the NBN registry without forcing customers to close and reopen accounts, they explained that the NBN Co, as the wholesaler, owns and manages the registry. This centralised system ensures all providers work from a single source of truth, but only NBN Co has the authority to make amendments. Address corrections require active services to be disconnected first, which complicates the process for customers caught in errors like mine. I also questioned why Superloop initially said it was fine to connect to the 'wrong' address and fix it later, only to change their stance when I went ahead. They acknowledged this was poor communication and said they've since introduced a governance forum with NBN's Connections Team to escalate and resolve such issues more swiftly. When asked why resolving a simple error involved calling multiple departments who refused to speak to each other, Superloop's Head of Process & Customer Experience, Grant Caldwell, replied: It shouldn't, is the simple answer. Since your experience, we've formed a 'Proactive Solutions Team'. Their objective is to identify customers in distress — that's a customer who calls multiple times with an issue. This team then takes on and owns that relationship until the issue is resolved, proactively calling and keeping the customer across the steps we're taking to avoid the frustration you experienced. This team was soon put to the test when I was referred to them. Resolution Expert Amila called me the same day and explained that he would guide me through the process of fixing the address. This involved sending photos of my NBN box (for the third time), closing my existing account and opening a new one (for the second time). But rather than having to call repeatedly, Amila promised to manage the entire process and call me back at each stage — and I'm happy to report he did. Within 10 days, my home was successfully switched over to the correct address, and the broadband service has remained solid and speedy since. For their swift action here, Superloop — and Amila in particular — are to be commended. But one 'glaring' issue remains As someone who regularly reports on customer service issues in the media, it's refreshing to see such proactive and effective support rather than the usual apologetic dismissal. Superloop emphasised their ongoing commitment to continuous improvement through regular internal forums and new tools designed to prevent these frustrations, reinforcing their focus on a 'customer first' culture and better service delivery moving forward. However, one glaring issue remains: if a customer has a problem with their NBN connection wiring, they cannot deal with NBN Co directly. Instead, they must sign up with an ISP using the wrong address, only to later close that account and open a new one to fix the problem. The solution is simple — allow customers direct communication with NBN Co for complex technical and administrative matters. Until then, many more frustrating calls lie ahead for consumers with issues and less obliging ISPs.
