The best ways to speed up the Internet |
Internet speed:
* The speed of the Internet connection depends on three things, the importance of which varies in terms of the intended use; The first of these is the download speed. It is the speed of receiving data from a specific server, measured in megabytes per second, and the second is the upload speed. It represents the speed of sending data to the server, and is measured in megabytes per second, and the third is the speed of response of the receiver (server) to the sender when sending a packet to it, and the process is called (in English: Ping).
Solutions to Accelerate the Internet General solutions that can be used to improve network performance, the following are:
1- Reducing the distance between the two computers and the wireless router (in English: Router). Reducing the number of devices connected to the network. Resorting to a wired connection instead of a wireless one. Restart the modem and router. Change the location of the wireless router. Update the router software, in addition to network-connected devices such as a computer or mobile phone.
2- Performing a virus scan using anti-virus software. Update your web browser. Remove any web browser extensions. Solve the problem of interference with the wireless network The devices connected to the wireless network usually communicate through a specific channel. There are 11 channels distributed on the 2.4 GHz frequency, through which devices can establish a connection. These channels start at the frequency of 2.416 GHz for the first channel, and end at the frequency of 2.462 GHz for the last channel. In some countries, there may be more of these channels up to 13 channels, and in the case of wireless networks that use the 5 GHz frequency, a greater number of channels are available.
* Among the common problems, especially in wireless networks installed in homes, interference of networks or other wireless devices close to it, and this will cause a significant and significant reduction in the network's performance, and to solve this problem, the channel used by the wireless router device is changed, and a channel is selected Less interference.
To change the wireless channel used,
* Enter the control panel of the router device, and search for the option to change the channel (in English: Wireless channel), and usually most router devices provide the ability to change the channel through a drop-down list that includes the list of channels supported by the device, so the least used channel is chosen by the devices Adjacent, and specialized software can be used to analyze the network (in English: network analyzer),
* It shows the user the nearby wireless devices in addition to the channels used, in order to avoid the most used among them. It is worth noting that some routers may provide automatic selection of the best channel. Changing the Domain Name System Server The DNS Server (in English: DNS Server) is a computer server that includes all the IP addresses of various websites.
* When a user writes the name of a website and tries to access it through his browser, the DNS server provides the browser with the IP address of that website; To be able to access it, because all computers in addition to the various network devices deal only with IP addresses, not names, and names are only for the convenience of users. The problem of network slowdown may be caused by adopting a low-performance DNS server, so it can be replaced by a faster server ,
* This is done either by changing the router device settings; This can be done by entering its control panel, or by changing the computer's settings to specify another server. You can use some specialized software to check the performance of different servers specializing in the domain name system, and choose the best among them.
Reasons for slow network:
* There may be a problem on one of the components of the network or both sides, leading to a slow connection to the Internet, and among the common problems that may cause the decrease in the performance of the network, the following are:
The presence of a large number of devices connected to the local network, in addition to a large number of simultaneous downloads. The computer hardware or software used on it is out of date with limited performance. The presence of interference on the wireless network; It is caused by other wireless devices,
- Or the presence of a large number of walls between the two sides of the contact. Faulty by internet provider. The ideal speed The ideal speed for a connection to the Internet depends on the usage, and the speed requirements will be taken from the Skype service (in English: Skype) in addition to the film and video streaming services as measures of the Internet speed. Firstly, it must be ensured that the internet speed, especially the download speed, is fully received from the internet provider, and this can be confirmed by running a test on one of the speed measuring sites or software.
* For services specialized in broadcasting movies and series, some services specialized in broadcasting movies and series over the Internet require an upload speed of at least 0.5 megabytes per second. That is, 500 kilobytes per second, but these services prefer that the speed is not less than 1.5 megabytes per second, and the required speed increases depending on the quality of the videos that will be watched; If it is normal quality (in English: SD), then the download speed should not be less than 3 megabytes per second, and if the quality is high (English: HD), then the service requires a download speed of at least 5 megabytes per second.
But if the user wants to watch movies in the highest quality (English: Ultra HD) in 4K resolution, it is preferable that the download speed is not less than 25 MB per second.
Skype program:
* With regard to the Skype program, which is specialized in providing the ability to communicate with voice and video over the Internet, the speed requirements differ in terms of the type of connection. Audio and video communication, but with normal quality, the speed increases to 300 kilobytes per second for uploading and uploading, and if the connection quality is high, the speed increases to 500 kilobytes per second for uploading and uploading.
* As for the connection quality required in the Skype service is the highest, then the required speed is 1.5 megabytes per second for uploading and uploading, and the required speed varies when making a group call; The service requires a download speed of 2 megabytes per second in addition to an upload speed of 512 kilobytes per second. In the event that the group communication is by sound and video, and consists of 3 people.
* YouTube and video games Some other services and uses, such as: YouTube (in English: YouTube) to broadcast video clips, require a download speed of at least 1 megabyte per second, and when talking about video games that depend on an Internet connection, what is required is that the response speed Server (ping) as fast as possible; That is, it requires the least possible time, and it is preferable that the time required to receive the response from the server is 100 milliseconds at most, or less than 50 milliseconds,
