The connection is slow. What to do?¶
- If there is a download running, wait for it to finish or pause it
- 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
- 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 support@aurinoco.net
- If you are unable to do speed-tests, power cycle the network devices and try again.
- 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.
- 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.
