if your Wi-Fi is slow and you didn't optimize your router you're doing it all wrong all you want to do is Netflix and chill but your router is so slow that a weekend of binging is mostly just buffering there are a few ways to solve this and it all has to do with how you set up your router the most important factor is placement if your router is tucked away behind a closet or in some media cabinet those enclosures are blocking your router signal so place your router somewhere out in the open at least a few feet off the ground any device that can see your router will have the best connection if your streaming box or computer are close enough connect them to the router with an Ethernet cable you should also dive into your router settings most routers have two frequencies 2.4 gigahertz and 5 gigahertz so if you have the option use 5 gigahertz for the fastest connections if you're stuck with 2.4 gigahertz then it's really all about the channel that you choose most new routers will automatically choose the least crowded Channel but if yours doesn't well there's an app for that Wi-Fi analyzer for Android will automatically scan your network to find the best channel and finally maybe just maybe it's your internet service provider many providers offer tier data speeds so there's a chance you might need to upgrade to see the speeds you want and now you're doing it right
