Simple Wi-Fi switch will instantly speed up your broadband, check your router now

Your broadband speed can be significantly improved by checking the age of your Wi-Fi router. Routers that are five years old or older may not support modern Wi-Fi standards like Wi-Fi 6, which offer faster speeds and better coverage, acting as a bottleneck for your internet connection. Newer routers are designed to handle more devices and reduce interference, making a substantial difference, especially in busy households. You can often get an updated router by contacting your Internet Service Provider, and some upgrades may be free of charge. If not, purchasing a newer Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 router can also boost your speeds. Beyond the age of the router, its placement is crucial. Avoid placing your router in cupboards, behind TVs, or near metal objects, as these can weaken the signal. Ideally, position your router in a central, elevated location, away from other large electronics like microwaves and devices that can cause interference, such as baby monitors or Bluetooth speakers.
