If your Internet is running a little slow, there are tricks you can try before you need to call for help.

Most of the time, technology runs great, and we depend on it for a lot of things.

But sometimes the best thing you can do when a machine isn’t working is to turn it off, let it sit, and then reset it.

A number of things can cause your Internet speed to be sluggish. Sometimes, though, it’s as simple as the machine needing a breather.

Switch your router off and let it sit for a few minutes before turning it back on. You should also restart your computer while your router is resting.

After you have turned everything back on, wait 5 to 10 minutes before checking your connection speed. Wait a few more minutes before connecting your computer. Sometimes that’s all you need, simple as that.
