Tip for Improving Your Internet Connection Speed
-
Make sure no one else is using the internet while you’re testing. Things like watching Netflix/Hulu or playing online video games, will slow down the connection and may disconnect you from your exam.
-
Unplug your router and modem for at least 30 seconds. Plug the modem back in and wait 60 seconds, then plug the router back in and wait 2 minutes. Restart your computer. Test your internet connection again.
-
If on WiFi, connect VIA ethernet cable or move as close to the router as possible. (Keep in mind that no one else can be in your room!)
