# Is the connection slow for all Internet services?  All websites?  Email etc.?
4 1 Charles Atkinson
** If it's just Internet browsing, try various websites to see if they are all affected.
5 1 Charles Atkinson
** If it's just emails maybe the problem is with the email server.  Give them time to fix it and re-test.

** If the WiFi signal is weak move the modem closer to the computer. (within 15 mtrs on a direct line of sight) and follow steps 3 to 6

** If that is not practicable or the WiFi signal is still too low, you may need to upgrade your router to a more powerful model.
