Slow network troubleshooting

Everything feels slow, but nobody knows why? We'll find the cause and fix it.

  • Files and cloud apps load
  • Video calls stutter or drop
  • Network is fine early in
  • Restarting the modem helps

A slow network can come from the Wi-Fi, a failing switch, one busy device, the internet plan, or a mix of all four. We test each part of the network to find out exactly where the slowdown is, explain it in plain English, and fix the cause, not just restart the modem.

  • Same-day or next-day, where available
  • Onsite across Perth, or remote
  • No lock-in contract
  • Business and home IT
Common problems

Is it the Wi-Fi, the network or the internet?

  • Files and cloud apps load slowly for everyone
  • Video calls stutter or drop out
  • The network is fine early in the day, then slows down
  • Restarting the modem helps for a while, then it's slow again
  • Your internet provider says the line is fine

Slow in only a few rooms or areas? See Wi-Fi dead zone & coverage fix.

How we fix it

How we fix a slow network

  1. Test the internet connection

    We measure the speed coming into the building and compare it with your plan.

  2. Check the network equipment

    Modem, router, switches and cabling, looking for faults, old equipment or bad settings.

  3. Check the Wi-Fi

    Signal, interference and how many devices are connected.

  4. Look for heavy users

    Backups, updates or devices using more than their share.

  5. Fix the cause

    Settings, equipment or plan changes, with any cost confirmed before work starts.

  6. Explain what we found

    A plain-English summary of the cause and what changed.

How it works

Questions

Slow network answered

Is it our internet plan or our network?+

That's what we find out. We test the connection and the network separately so you know which one is at fault.

Can you check it remotely?+

Some checks can be done remotely. Cabling, switches and Wi-Fi usually need an onsite visit.

Our provider says the line is fine. Can you help?+

Yes. If the line is fine, the problem is usually inside the building, which is what we check.

Will we need new equipment?+

Not always. Many problems are settings or one faulty device. We'll tell you before anything is replaced.
