h1. The connection is slow. What to do?
TODO: create a separate page for the "Power cycle the network devices" steps (same text is used on [[The connection is not working. What to do?]])
# If there is a download running, wait for it to finish or pause it
# Test the internal speed using http://speedtest.iciti.av (requires using Aurinoco's DNS service, details at [[Which_DNS_servers_to_use]]). Take a screen shot of the result
# Test the Internet speed by clicking "here":http://www.speedtest.net/. When the map appears select Bangalore, Bharti Airtel (needs some patience and ingenuity). It is the only test server we have found to give consistently credible results. Take a screen shot of the result
# Power cycle the network devices
** *For GPON Users*
*** Turn off the router (TP-Link).
*** Turn off the Modem.
*** Turn on the Modem and wait for all the lights to come on.
*** Turn on the router and wait for all the lights to come on.
*** Check the speed.
** *For Non-GPON Users*
*** Turn off the router (TP-Link).
*** Turn on the router and wait for all the lights to come on.
# For WiFi users
** If the WiFi signal is low move the modem closer to the computer.
** 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?]] by email including a screen shot of the speed test.
