Latency - How can I improve it
To improve latency, you can try these simple steps:
- Use a Wired Connection: Connect your device directly to the router with an Ethernet cable instead of relying on Wi-Fi.
- Upgrade Your Internet Plan: A higher-speed plan can reduce latency by providing faster data transfer.
- Optimise Your Network: Restart your router and make sure it's placed in an open area away from interference.
- Reduce Network Congestion: Limit the number of devices using the internet at the same time, especially for high-bandwidth activities.
- Update Hardware: Keep your devices up to date to improve performance.
- Use Quality of Service (QoS): Prioritise traffic for specific applications like gaming or video calls. Please see article “How can I prioritise and deprioritise speed to specific devices”
These steps help reduce delays and improve overall network performance.
