Manage Your Wi-Fi
Knowing the ins and outs of your home wireless network can be a challenge. After all, you have dozens of devices, each connected to your network on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band. Some of them may be streaming or gaming while others are turned off. Maybe friends or relatives are visiting that are using your WiFi. Your home network can become cluttered and overwhelmed, leading to slower Internet.
