Protecting Your WiFi
How to secure your wireless connection and choosing the right browser help improve your WiFi experience.

Your router may have been installed with a default username and password, which you may want to change to something unique to you.
When you first go online, you will see a list of WiFi networks, make sure you select your own WiFi network. Make sure it has a lock next to it.
Unwanted viruses and malware can slow you down! Do frequent computer health checks. Anti-virus software is an “army” against threats, viruses and bugs which can seriously slow internet.
Running many programs at once on your devices can slow down your WiFi speed. Often programs run all the time in the background which causes a “traffic jam” on your WiFi speed.
To speed yourself up, close any devices, browsers and add-ons or applications you are not using.
