Having a slow or weak internet connection can be very frustrating, whether you are at home or at work. At WVT, the premier internet service provider in Warwick Valley, New York, customers benefit from quality high-speed internet, perfect for everything from sharing photos and downloading music to gaming online and checking email.

To make sure your devices always have a fast and efficient connection, the telecommunications experts at WVT offer a few tips for maintaining a high-speed internet connection at any time. First, check your hardware, network, and connection. Run a speed test to determine your internet’s upload and download speeds. If you are running slow, contact your internet provider. In some cases, WVT might be able to give you higher speeds for less money. Next, restart your modem and your router to clear up any network issues. Also, make sure there aren’t any sources of interference, such as a phone or a microwave oven, near the wireless devices and your router when you’re using the connection. It might be necessary to relocate your wireless router closer to your computer so it can transmit a better signal.

Additionally, there are steps you can take to optimize your computer and network. Ideally, you should run virus scans once a week. Talk to the experts at WVT about the best antivirus programs, which will not only protect your computer but also can help speed up your internet connection. Scan for adware and spyware—dangerous programs that can reduce the speed of your connection. If you’ve installed a lot of toolbars on your web browser, they might be slowing down your connection, too, so remove any excess toolbars to increase your speed. Also, if you are using an older browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox, the experts at WVT recommend switching to a newer browser, such as Microsoft Edge, Chrome, or Opera.
