Sometimes Internet users are faced with the fact that it starts to work slowly, load sites for a long time or even turns off. In our article we will tell you what the reason can be and how to solve the problem.
We live in the age of high technology and the Internet. Today, many things can be decided without even leaving home. This is all possible thanks to the Internet. However, sometimes users have difficulties and they complain that speed sometimes makes you want the best.
In fact, it's okay that sometimes the Internet is slowing down or becoming very slow - no, but sometimes it becomes a real problem. Why does this work? And what to do? Let's find out.
Why does the Internet not work on the computer, does not pull - what to do?
If you suddenly have a slow Internet, then do not rush to contact the support service immediately. Perhaps the reason lies not in them, but on your part. How so? And so - you yourself decide what to do on a computer and what to save?
First of all, you need to understand what speed you have at the moment. Special services, of which there are a huge number on the Internet, will help to deal with this. After measurements, remember the data and orient yourself on them.
It is worth noting that the speed must be measured after checking and correcting each of the reasons. This is the only way you will understand that specifically does not allow the Internet to work normally.
So, among the reasons why the Internet can slow down are distinguished:
- Viruses
Have you seen yes on the Internet suggestions download this or that program without registration? So for some incomprehensible reason, many of these buttons are gaining. Most often, when downloading and installing a program or even just starting a file, a virus can immediately settle in the computer, or even not one. You may not notice anything at once, but malfunctions will gradually begin, including Internet speeds may decrease.
There is only one way out - install antivirus programs and regularly check. The cleaning program will not be superfluous, the same CCleaner. This will allow you to protect yourself from viruses, or at least detect and remove them on time.
- Antiviruses
In some cases, antivirus can affect the speed of the Internet. Usually, the stronger the antivirus, the more speed it takes. It's all about network screens. They are engaged in verification of information in real time and protect the computer from the penetration of viruses.
In this case, compare the speed with active and not active antivirus. If the reason is this, then it is better to select another antivirus that will be simpler, but does not differ in effectiveness.
- Other software
Remember that on the computer some programs work in the background, that is, imperceptibly and they may also need the Internet. They can just cause its signing.
In general, the Internet was invented for quick and convenient communication and transmission of information. But why should you take the entire load on yourself? If you use different chats, messengers, video links from a computer, then, for sure, they are always open with you. But if the program is not needed, then what are we doing?
That's right, we close it, but at the same time it still works and constantly requires the Internet to quickly show you new messages or accept calls. When there are too many programs, then the speed of the Internet drops. In this case, just close all the superfluous.
Another problem is different superstructures, usually such a disaster haunts those who do not refuse anything to the installers and after downloading the desired program you can get more than a dozen others. All this is superfluous and easily removes or turns off.
- Wi-Fi
If you connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, then look in the router settings and add all your devices to the MAC address and do not forget to turn on the filter. Remember that when several devices are connected to the router at once, the Internet will slow down. So it is better to encrypt the channel, and if it is easier to set the password so that no one else can use your traffic to freebies.
- OS
If you do not use the official system, then most likely you have someone's assembly. Or you asked someone to install everything you need. In this case, you become the owner of a heap of “necessary” programs. At the same time, in the background, they will also work a lot. In other words, all kinds of services will work via the Internet and send or accept information. Of course, the data transfer speed will become less.
There is only one way out - this is an independent shutdown of services and removing unnecessary programs. Or look for the one who will install a normal official system and software to you.
- Equipment configuration
Another reason is the computer itself. How old is he? If the computer is already a dozen years, then, of course, modern communication standards for it are already unavailable or difficult to work. After all, it is always, when the technology improves, it also requires modern equipment. Think about it.
- Equipment malfunctions
Do not be surprised at the poor work of the Internet if your cat nibbling wires. Or maybe you bought it and never cleaned it even once? Then urgently correct the situation. Accumulated dust may well interfere with the stable operation of the network card, and indeed over time, will cause breakdown.
Check if the case is really in the network card, you can in a simple way - connect the cable to another computer.
In the end, the reasons can really be connected directly with the provider. Maybe he has some kind of work or there are problems. For example, the equipment may suffer in a thunderstorm and you will temporarily lose either speed or the Internet here. What if the wind cut off the cable? How then will you get the Internet? That's right, nothing. In any case, if you still had to contact the provider, then he will tell you if there are any problems on his part.
Thus, the provider’s fault is that the Internet is slowly working is rarely. Most often, the user himself is to blame for the loss of speed and therefore, first you need to check and correct all possible problems.
