How do I optimize my Home MINTernet speed?

Looking to optimize your Home MINTernet speed? Here are some tips to make sure your gateway device and internet speeds are optimized for smooth surfing.

• Location is super important. A good spot for your device allows for the connection to have less interference. Make sure your 5G gateway device is located by a window, or away from any big appliances or devices that use wireless signals, such as a baby monitor. Dive in for more tips on finding the best location.

• Restarting your gateway can help. Unplug the power cord of the gateway device, wait 10 seconds and then plug it back in.

• Check device usage and close out unused tabs. Since all your devices share your internet connection, these are things that may affect your speed:
  • Using multiple devices at once
  • Streaming or gaming
  • Video conferencing
  • Smart home devices 

So it’s smart to disconnect unused devices, or close unnecessary tabs or background apps.

• Move devices closer to your gateway.
• Check for outages in your area.

That’s it. We hope these tips help you surf a little more smoothly.
