Downloading large files and surfing a large number of sites requires high-speed Internet. You can increase the internet speed on your laptop in several proven ways.
To increase the speed of the Internet on a laptop, special recommendations from the provider can help you. Most often, computer or laptop users use the standard network settings, while the special parameters provided by the provider can increase the connection speed several times.
Go to the "Network Neighborhoods" folder via the "Start" menu of the Windows XP or later operating system. Select Show All Network Connections. Open the properties of an active internet connection. Here go to TCP / IP settings and set the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS servers provided by your ISP. Save the settings and reconnect to the Internet.
If you are using an Internet connection via a router, check with your ISP and the manufacturer of this device for the recommended parameters for your computer configuration. You can increase your internet speed if you correctly configure your router online.
Take advantage of the special settings of Internet browsers to increase the connection speed. In particular, install the latest version of your browser. The fastest are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera. In their work, they use special protocols that speed up the process of opening pages. In addition, some browsers, for example, Opera, have a special "Turbo mode": it reduces the quality of images, as well as some other elements on sites, which can significantly increase the speed of the Internet.
Test your connection speed periodically. You can find connection speed tests through internet search engines. Compare the test results with the data provided by the provider. If the difference is large enough, contact the technical support service: they will dictate the correct network settings or change them right at the provider's office.
Try changing the current tariff for using your home Internet. Perhaps, by paying a little more and connecting a more efficient tariff, you can significantly increase your Internet speed.
Remember to scan your computer for viruses and malware that often reduce your home network bandwidth. All you need to do is install one of the free antivirus programs. Also, try to go only to trusted and safe sites.
