By following these tips, you can significantly improve your business’s internet performance, leading to better productivity and smoother operations:
- Evaluate your current plan: Does your current business internet plan meet our company’s needs? As businesses grow, internet requirements often increase. For example, increasing your bandwidth can provide faster speeds, support more simultaneous users & devices, and improve overall network performance.
- Implement Quality of Service (QoS) Settings: Configure your router’s Quality of Service (QoS) settings to prioritize critical traffic (like video calls or important business apps) to ensure they receive the necessary bandwidth.
- Upgrade & Optimize Network Hardware: like routers, modems, and switches (models that support faster speed and better coverage). Ensuring devices are up-to-date and correctly configured can further boost performance and reliability.
- Set Up a Separate Guest Network: Create a separate Wi-Fi network for guests and non-essential devices to prevent them from slowing down your core business network.
- Optimize Your Network Infrastructure: Ensure your office’s network cabling is up to date and professionally installed to support high-speed connections. Ensure it is appropriate for the bandwidth you need (e.g. CAT6 to workstations, and fiber between switches).
- Check for Viruses and Malware: Ensure all devices are free from malware, which can slow down your internet. Use antivirus software to scan and remove any threats.
- Conduct Regular Speed Tests: Perform regular speed tests at various times of the day to check your internet performance and find recurring issues.
