Since smartphones are the primary way most people connect to the internet, getting the fastest possible internet speeds on your mobile devices is more important than ever.
But that doesn’t always happen. There are lots of problems that can slow the Wi-Fi speed on your phone down. Let’s take a look at the main reasons why the internet connection is so slow on your phone, and how you can increase your Wi-Fi speed.
1. Poor Router Position
One of the main reasons your phone’s Wi-Fi is slow is that you’ve got your router positioned in the wrong place.
Depending on the specs and design of your router, the signal can have a range of up to a few hundred feet. But the further it travels, the slower it gets. The Wi-Fi signal can be blocked by large physical objects, like walls, floors, and doors too.
So if you’re a long distance from the router—like in the furthest bedroom in your house, or even outside—the speeds you get might be a lot slower than you’d expect.
