All Connect’s experts have used this phrase to explain how you can improve your speed.

You should be aware that it’s not always your devices which are slowing your Wi-Fi.

Your network could be abused by strangers.

Changing your security settings will remove the speed drainers.

Regular updates can also help you avoid hackers.

First, make sure that you use a password with a lot of strength and update it regularly.

Next, ensure that your router uses the highest security level.

Most routers have multiple encryption settings, but WPA2 or higher are often recommended.

Verizon says on its website: “Verizon recommends using the strongest encryption available that is compatible with the devices on your home network.

WPA2 encryption is the best choice to secure your network.

The next best option is WPA encryption if one or several of your devices aren’t WPA2 compatible.

Only if you are unable to use WPA2 or WPA encryption on your devices should you even consider WEP encryption.

WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access and there’s now a WPA3.

It’s a good idea to choose WPA3 for security if you have the choice.
