Restart your iPad

Restart your devices

When you encounter WiFi problems, restarting your devices can be an easy fix. The first thing you need to restart is the WiFi service of your iPad. Just turn off the WiFi and turn it back on, then check for any difference in performance.

Then, try restarting your iPad by holding the power button. Restarting your iPad can help it reset some settings back to default, making your iPad run faster.

Lastly, restart your router. You can either hold the router’s power button or simply unplug it from the power source. Restarting your router can help it upgrade to a new firmware version and remove some known bugs.

Fix your router

The position of your router can make a massive impact on your WiFi performance. It would be best to place it in a high and open area. In addition, you also have to adjust the antenna for better WiFi signals.

• If you only need to use the WiFi on one floor, place the antennas vertically.

• If you need to transfer the WiFi signals upstairs or downstairs, turn the antenna at an Angle of 30°.

When you see a worn-out WiFi jack or adapter, consider replacing them. The price of a new WiFi adapter or LAN jack is dirt cheap, but it can make a huge boost to your internet speed. 

If your router is too old, consider upgrading it. An old router with IEEE 802.11g-2003 standard can only get the maximum speed of 54 Mbps. Upgrade your router if you want to achieve a better internet speed and a more stable connection.
