Quality and age of WiFi modem

Technology develops, and network traffic grows rapidly, and an old or low-quality modem cannot keep up with the development and support the same features or speeds as devices connected to the Internet, such as laptops. So, it’s better to retire a modem older than 4 years.
Quality of the internet cable

If the internet cable is in poor condition or broken, it can affect the internet speed and quality of the internet connection. It is also worth checking that the internet cable you are using matches the speed of the internet you are using.
Distance between the device and the WiFi modem

The farther the device is from the modem, the weaker the connection and the slower the internet speed. That is why it is best to place the WiFi modem as centrally as possible for the best overall WiFi coverage.
Devices that cause interference

External wireless signals of other devices can interfere with the wireless network, resulting in a slower connection. Do not place the modem near devices (such as microwave oven) that cause interference.
Number of Connected Devices
