🚀 Download Speed Optimization Tips
WiFi Optimization
Place your router centrally, away from electronics, and use 5GHz band for faster speeds.
Wired Connection
Use Ethernet instead of WiFi for more stable and faster download speeds.
Off-Peak Hours
Download large files during off-peak hours (late night/early morning) for better speeds.
Close Background Apps
Close streaming services and cloud backups that consume bandwidth.
Download Manager
Use a download manager that supports multi-threading and resume capability.
Restart Equipment
Restart your modem/router periodically to maintain optimal performance.
