With coronavirus having already spread to nearly 200 countries all over the world, now most office workers have to work from home.
As a result of workers now using their own internet connection, there is huge pressure on the local internet providers.
Providers were not ready for such a dramatic change, so huge pressure is slowing down internet and hampering online activities.
We found some solutions for workers to avoid internet problems and work smoothly from their personal computer.
.. Keep your router switched on.
.. Try video calls at less frequent times, as opposed to on the hour or half hour.
.. Try not to use a telephone extension lead as it could interfere with your speed.
.. Cordless phones, halogen lamps, baby monitors, and computer speakers could also adversely affect Wi-Fi signals if they are positioned too close to routers.
.. Disconnect devices from router that were not in use.
.. Access the best broadband speeds by using an ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to your router.
.. Devices like tablets and smart phones often work in the background, so try switching Wi-Fi reception off on these when you’re not using them
..When taking part in virtual meetings, turn the video off and use only audio to use up less connection.
