Why Is My Internet So Slow?

Slow internet can come from your ISP connection, Wi-Fi signal, congestion, the device itself, background traffic or the destination service.

Quick answer

Measure first, then troubleshoot. Run a speed test near the router, compare Wi-Fi with Ethernet if possible, and check whether the problem affects one device or every device.

How to troubleshoot

1. Confirm whether the issue affects one device or multiple devices.
2. Run a fresh connection test before changing settings.
3. Check the router, signal strength and internet status separately.
4. Make one change at a time and test again.

Why this matters

Good troubleshooting separates local device problems, Wi-Fi problems, router problems and ISP problems. That prevents unnecessary resets and makes it easier to explain the issue to support.
