The connection is slow. What to do?

  1. If there is a download running, wait for it to finish or pause it
  2. Test the internal speed using http://speedtest.aurinoco.net (requires using Aurinoco's DNS service, details at Which_DNS_servers_to_use). Take a screen shot of the result
  3. Test the Internet speed using http://www.speedtest.net/. Click on "Change server" and search for Bangalore or Bharti. Choose Bharti Airtel Ltd, Bangalore. Click on Go. When the test has finished, take a screen shot of the result. If the download speed is lower than expected, mail the screen shot to
  4. If you are unable to do speed-tests, power cycle the network devices
  5. For WiFi users
    • If the WiFi signal is weak move the modem closer to the computer. (within 15 mtrs on a direct line of sight)
    • If that is not practicable or the WiFi signal is still too low, upgrade your router to a more powerful model.
  6. Is the connection slow for all Internet services? All websites? Email etc.?
    • If it's just Internet browsing, try various websites to see if they are all affected.
    • If it's just emails maybe the problem is with the email server. Give them time to fix it and re-test.

If the above steps didn't fix the internet connection speed, contact Aurinoco via How to contact Aurinoco? with screenshot of the error on your device.
