That\u2019s why there are very few things that are more frustrating than slow internet.<\/p>\n<p>No worries! We\u2019re here to save your day and reveal how to boost the internet on your PC !<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, speeding up the internet is a simple question of upgrading your plan or changing your service provider. However, even users who are paying for high-speed internet access can experience surprisingly slow internet connections.<\/p>\n<p>But consider yourself lucky, as there are ways to speed up the internet without changing your ISP or buying a more powerful computer.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll share some tips on how to speed up your internet connection without too much hassle.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Check Your Internet Speed on a Windows PC<\/h2>\n<p>But first things first, and before we get to decide on how to boost internet speed in your case, let\u2019s figure out the current scores. You can check your internet speed in different ways:<\/p>\n<h3>Method 1: Run an online speed test<\/h3>\n<p>There are websites that can measure your download and upload speeds and display the results in Mbps (megabits per second).<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps to run an online speed test:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Open your web browser and go to a speed test website; the most popular ones are <a href=\"https:\/\/fast.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Fast.com <\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedtest.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Speedtest.net <\/a>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Launch the test and wait for it to complete and display your download and upload speeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Method 2: Use the Command Prompt<\/h3>\n<p>Although this method will not directly provide you with download and upload speeds, you can get an idea of how your network performs at the moment by checking your connection latency and tracing the route from your PC to the specified server.<\/p>\n<p>Simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Press the <code>Windows key + R<\/code> shortcut to open the Run dialog box.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Type \u201c <i>cmd\u201d <\/i> into the box and press Enter.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Enter \u201c <i>ping google.com\u201d <\/i> and hit Enter. This command will measure how long it takes for your computer to send and receive data (in this case, to and from Google\u2019s server) .<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Type \u201c <i>tracert google.com\u201d <\/i> and press Enter. This will show you how your internet traffic travels to reach Google\u2019s server.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Finally, type \u201c<i>netstat -b\u201d<\/i> and press Enter to see all active connections on your network and the applications that are using them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/1.png\" alt=\"Type \u201c<i>netstat -b\u201d<\/i> and press Enter\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udccc Also read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/windows-command-prompt-28-most-useful-cmd-commands-with-examples\/\">28 Most Useful CMD Commands <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Method 3: Use Auslogics BoostSpeed\u2019s Internet Optimizer<\/h3>\n<p>One more way to check your internet speed is to use Auslogics BoostSpeed\u2019s Internet Optimizer.<\/p>\n<p>Built into Auslogics\u2019 comprehensive program\u2014BoostSpeed\u2014this handy tool can not only show how fast your internet is but also help you speed up data access.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not the tech-savviest person and want to boost your internet speed and overall system performance, this one is definitely for you, since the tool will apply the best internet configurations for your system.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how to use Internet Optimizer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/software\/boost-speed\/\">Auslogics BoostSpeed <\/a> and go to the <i>All Tools <\/i> tab.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to <i>Internet &amp; Browser Tools <\/i> and select <i>Internet Optimizer<\/i>.

Most users that use the internet to browse the web, watch videos, and, let\u2019s say, make video calls would be ok with at least 25\/3 Mbps, where the first figure is the download speed, and the latter is the upload speed.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you have a big family of internet surfers and a ton of smart devices at home or use the internet for 4K streaming, playing online games, or sending large files, that won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n<p>In such cases, your best bet may be a download speed of 100 Mbps or more and an upload speed of at least 10 Mbps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">No matter which method you prefer, for best results, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-stop-apps-from-running-in-the-background-on-windows-10-pc\/\">close any unnecessary applications <\/a> that may be using your internet connection and run the test at different times of the day to get an average reading of your internet speed.<\/p>\n<p>If your speed test results are lower than the speeds specified in your internet plan, it may indicate a problem with your internet connection or network setup. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why Is the Internet So Slow? The Top 8 Reasons<\/h2>\n<p>There can be quite a lot of factors that can impact your internet speed, to a greater or lesser extent, and it would take another article to cover them all. Let\u2019s just focus on the more frequent ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Network congestion. <\/b>When there are too many users (or devices) trying to access the same network simultaneously , it can become congested, slowing down your internet speed since data packets may take longer to reach wherever they\u2019re headed .<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Distance from the internet service provider (ISP) infrastructure. <\/b>The farther you are from the ISP\u2019s servers , the more time it will take for data packets to travel back and forth, resulting in slower internet speeds.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The quality of your network equipment. <\/b>We have to admit that things get old, including modems, routers, and other networking equipment. It\u2019s possible that they can\u2019t keep up with high-speed internet connections, leading to slower speeds.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The type of your internet connection. <\/b>Different maximum speeds characterize different types of internet connections. As such, fiber-optic internet is generally faster than DSL or cable internet.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>VPN. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/5-reasons-to-start-using-a-vpn-as-soon-as-possible\/\">Using a VPN <\/a> (virtual private network) can significantly affect your internet speed due to increased latency and longer data paths.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Malware. <\/b>Having malware on your computer can lead to a whole lot of trouble. Among other things, it can impact your internet speed by consuming bandwidth and slowing down your device\u2019s processing speed.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bandwidth limitations. <\/b>Your internet service plan may have data caps or bandwidth limitations affecting your internet speed.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wi-Fi interference. <\/b>If you\u2019re using Wi-Fi, you need to know that physical obstructions (like walls, floors, and ceilings) don\u2019t mix well with Wi-Fi signals. Moreover, if you have other electronic devices (like microwaves), they can also interfere with Wi-Fi signals and impact internet speeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know the potential culprits, you can better identify potential issues with your internet speed and take proper steps to boost your internet .<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udccc Also read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/quick-fix-why-does-my-internet-keep-going-in-and-out\/\">Why Does My Internet Keep Going In and Out? <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>How to Speed Up Internet on a PC: Easy-to-Apply Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Tip 1. Talk to your provider<\/h3>\n<p>So, you want to increase your internet speed, but what should you do first? Start by talking to your service provider and checking whether they are doing their job and delivering the service you are paying for.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">If your ISP is not delivering the promised speeds, but you still don\u2019t want to switch to a new one, try discussing how to improve download speed on your PC with them. Perhaps your package is outdated, and the company will upgrade you to a better one for free or for a small fee. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>Remember, though, that very few people are getting the top speed (remember the words \u201cup to\u201d in your contract?) because of distance exchange, congestion, and traffic shaping.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 2. Find the browser that works for you<\/h3>\n<p>Most people tend to stick to what they\u2019re used to, and that is especially true for web browsers, even though the browser you use may not be the fastest one out there.<\/p>\n<p>If you surf the web a lot and want to speed up your internet , it would be a good idea <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/what-is-the-best-internet-browser\/\"> to check out different browsers<\/a>, like Chrome, Firefox, and Opera, to see which one works best for you.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Chrome is particularly good for computers with limited RAM, as it is not as memory-hungry as Firefox.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 3. Clear your browser cache<\/h3>\n<p>Have the websites all of a sudden started loading too slowly? Chances are that you haven\u2019t looked at how much cache has piled up in your browser for a while. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/delete-temporary-internet-files\/\">Try clearing temporary internet files<\/a> to speed up your internet connection. Here\u2019s how you can do it in Google Chrome:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click on the vertical dots in the upper-right corner.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select <i>Delete browsing data<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In the window that appears, tick all the boxes except the first one.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click <i>Delete data<\/i> and restart Chrome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"screenshots\">\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__image-shadow\">\r\n    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3.png\" alt=\"Click <i>Delete data<\/i> and restart Chrome\" class=\"lazyload screenshots__image\">\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"screenshots__description\"><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>Tip 4. Restart and tweak your router<\/h3>\n<p>If you are using Wi-Fi and your internet became too slow or just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/why-is-your-internet-not-working-even-though-its-connected\/\">stopped working <\/a> at all, chances are that your router is the culprit. First, make sure that you are close enough to the router and that the signal is not obstructed by walls or ceilings.<\/p>\n<p>Then, try restarting your router.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, this simple action alone can boost your internet connection. After the restart, try adjusting the router settings.<\/p>\n<p>There are too many routers to give specific advice, but most routers can be tweaked to open up ports and boost your internet speed.<\/p>\n<p>Your best bet is to check the manual or google up how you can tweak your particular router.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 5. Prevent unauthorized access<\/h3>\n<p>If you are using Wi-Fi (especially without a password), make sure that you are not sharing it with the whole neighborhood. The more people use your connection, the slower it will be.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to improve your internet connection and ensure that no stranger has access to your network:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/make-wi-fi-ask-for-password\/\">Set up a strong password<\/a> to stay on the safe side and not allow those you don\u2019t trust to use your internet connection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"notebox_lite\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox_lite__heading\">Note<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">A strong password means it should be unique and contain a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. If you don\u2019t want to have your head stuffed with all those passwords, you can use a reliable password manager to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-save-passwords-securely\/\">safely store your passwords <\/a>. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Implement two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security in addition to a password.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nordvpn.com\/blog\/how-to-encrypt-internet-connection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Use encryption<\/a> so that no one can access your data if it somehow gets intercepted over the network.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-check-firewall-settings-in-windows-10-pc\/\">Use a firewall<\/a> to block traffic from specific IP addresses or filter traffic based on content <b>.<\/b><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-keep-your-software-up-to-date\/\">Keep software up to date<\/a> to have all the latest security patches installed and keep hackers at bay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Implementing these measures can reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your network, keep your data secure, and optimize your PC\u2019s internet speed.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 6. Update your network driver<\/h3>\n<p>An outdated or corrupted network driver can slow down your internet speed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-update-drivers\/\">Try updating it<\/a> to speed up your internet . There are basically two ways to do it: manually by downloading and installing the driver from the manufacturer\u2019s website or using Device Manager, and automatically by using a special tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/auslogics-driver-updater-update-your-drivers\/\">Auslogics Driver Updater <\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_native left\" data-cta-type=\"native\" data-cta-position=\"middle\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__top\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_native\">While it\u2019s not that hard to update a driver by yourself, with <a href=\"\/en\/software\/driver-updater\/after-download\/\">Auslogics Driver Updater,<\/a> you ensure that all your drivers, not just a network one, are always up to date.<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__btn-group left\">\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__download-btn\" href=\"\/en\/software\/driver-updater\/after-download\/\">Download for Free<\/a>\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__learn-more\" href=\"\/en\/software\/driver-updater\/\">Learn More<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<h3>Tip 7. Disconnect unused devices<\/h3>\n<p>The more devices are connected to your Wi-Fi, the less bandwidth you have for your needs. Want to know how to speed up your internet? Simply disconnect those that you don\u2019t need right now.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 8. Disable ads<\/h3>\n<p>If you surf the web a lot and want to boost the internet, it would be a good idea to install a free browser plugin, like <a href=\"https:\/\/getadblock.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">AdBlock<\/a>, that will automatically block ads.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip 9. Control your bandwidth usage<\/h3>\n<p>Some apps, such as Windows Update, Windows Live Messenger, Skype, Real Player, Adobe Reader updates, and similar software, can bite a large chunk of your bandwidth running in the background.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part is that most of such apps launch automatically and start draining your traffic as soon as you log on to Windows.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you can speed up your internet connection by simply configuring these apps not to launch on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/quick-tips-how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows-10\/\">Windows startup <\/a> or to at least ask permission to connect to the Internet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tipsbox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"tipsbox__heading\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tipsbox__arrow-right\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tipsbox__shield\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"tipsbox__arrow-left\"><\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"tipsbox__text\">Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/software\/boost-speed\/\">Auslogics BoostSpeed<\/a> to track which applications and processes are consuming your network traffic secretly in the background. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<p>And here are a few extra tips:<\/p>\n<p>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortinet.com\/resources\/cyberglossary\/qos-quality-of-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">quality of service (QoS) <\/a> tools to boost the internet speed by prioritizing certain types of traffic, such as voice or video, over other types.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use <a href=\"https:\/\/obkio.com\/blog\/network-bandwidth-monitoring-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">network monitoring tools<\/a> to identify which devices or users consume the most bandwidth and act accordingly.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use specialized tools, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparitech.com\/net-admin\/best-bandwidth-limiter-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">bandwidth-throttling software<\/a>, or configure your router to limit the bandwidth allocation for each device or user on your network .<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use firewalls or other tools to make sure that some nasty malware isn\u2019t using your network\u2019s bandwidth.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Upgrade your network hardware so it can handle higher bandwidth usage to reduce congestion and optimize your internet speed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tip 10. Scan your PC for malware<\/h3>\n<p>Some types of malware (such as botnets), as we\u2019ve already mentioned , can use your PC to perform various tasks without your knowledge or consent, like sending spam emails, launching distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, or mining cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>All of them can consume significant amounts of bandwidth and processing power, leading to slower internet speeds and reducing your system\u2019s overall performance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udccc Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/know-windows-10-computer-infected\/\">Signs of Malware: How to Know if Your Computer Is Infected <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"cta-block cta-block_native left\" data-cta-type=\"native\" data-cta-position=\"middle\">\r\n\t<div class=\"cta-block__top\">PRO TIP<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__text_native\">If you suspect that your PC may be infected, you\u2019re strongly advised to scan it with a reliable protection tool like <a href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/after-download\/\">Auslogics Anti-Malware.<\/a> It will scrupulously check all the areas of your system, especially the most vulnerable ones, locate all the lousy items that may pose a threat to your computer, and let you quarantine them so that you can restore them later if need be.<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"cta-block__btn-group left\">\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__download-btn\" href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/after-download\/\">Download for Free<\/a>\r\n        <a class=\"cta-block__learn-more\" href=\"\/en\/software\/anti-malware\/\">Learn More<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<h3>Tip 11. Use a VPN<\/h3>\n<p>Although we\u2019ve already listed VPNs among the reasons for slowing down your connection, there are specific circumstances when they can actually speed up the internet. So let\u2019s figure out how to improve the internet connection using a VPN.<\/p>\n<p>VPNs\u2014tools that create a secure and encrypted connection between a user\u2019s device and the Internet\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1291880\/vpn-usage-in-the-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">are getting increasingly popular <\/a> as more and more people become knowledgeable about the risks of surfing the web without protection.<\/p>\n<p>VPNs encrypt internet traffic and hide your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/your-ip-has-been-temporarily-blocked-how-to-unblock-ip\/\"> IP address <\/a> and location, making it difficult for hackers, government agencies, or other third parties to trace your whereabouts or intercept your online activities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox_lite\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox_lite__heading\">Note<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">And since you are wondering\u00a0how to increase the internet speed on your PC, you will be glad to know that a VPN can also improve your internet performance\u00a0by bypassing bandwidth throttling from your ISP, channeling your traffic through more efficient routing paths, and reducing congestion by connecting via less busy servers.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>There are both free and paid VPN services available, and while free VPNs can be useful in some situations, we recommend using a paid VPN for the following reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Paid VPNs offer more advanced security features and encryption protocols than free VPNs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Paid VPNs have stronger privacy policies and a more robust infrastructure to handle higher traffic volumes.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Paid VPNs often have faster connection speeds and less lag than free VPNs.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Paid VPNs usually have more server locations than free VPNs, giving you more options for bypassing geographical restrictions and accessing content from different regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Overall, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/406870\/best-vpn-services-apps-reviews-buying-advice.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">most of the paid VPNs<\/a> provide a more seamless and uninterrupted online experience and are more likely to affect your internet speed positively.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>\ud83d\udccc Related: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/prevent-wi-fi-not-working-with-a-vpn\/\">Ultimate Guide: How to Fix Wi-Fi Not Working with a VPN? <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Tip 12. Boost your Wi-Fi signal<\/h3>\n<p>Wireless networks are easy to set up and convenient to use. However, a wireless connection often means slower speeds, which can hamper productivity.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways to boost a Wi-Fi signal, and you can make use of them to optimize the internet speed on your network:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Move your router to a central location in your home, away from walls and other obstacles.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If your Wi-Fi signal is weak due to interference from other wireless devices, try changing the channel on your router by configuring the router\u2019s settings.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Upgrade your router\u2019s firmware.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If your router is old or outdated, upgrade to a newer model, as it can boost the internet signal.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If possible, switch to a wired connection. Connect your device to your router using an Ethernet cable\u2014this will provide a faster and more stable connection than Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Keep your router away from other electronic devices that can interfere with the signal, such as microwaves, baby monitors, and cordless phones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another tip to speed up your internet connection is to use an internet speed booster to amplify and extend the reach of your Wi-Fi signal. Also called a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/picks\/the-best-wireless-range-extenders\">Wi-Fi booster <\/a> or a range extender, this device works by receiving your existing Wi-Fi signal and amplifying it, then transmitting it to areas of your home where the signal is non-existent or weak.
