What information helps troubleshoot a slow internet connection?

Short answer: A few comparisons are more useful than a single speed-test number.

Try these steps

  1. Note which devices, rooms and services are affected and the time it happens.
  2. Compare Wi-Fi near the router with a wired connection if you already have a safe way to test it.
  3. Record test results, your service plan and whether uploads or backups were running.

When to ask for help

Send results through your support channel without exposing Wi-Fi passwords or router administrator credentials.
