If your internet feels slower than expected, don’t worry — there are several quick and effective ways to boost your Mahek Broadband speed for both downloads and uploads. ⚡
Most issues can be resolved with a few simple adjustments to your Wi-Fi setup, device settings, or router placement.
⚙️ 1. Check Your Connection Type
| Connection Type | Expected Performance | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| LAN Cable (Wired) | 100% of plan speed | Best for desktops, TVs, and gaming |
| 5 GHz Wi-Fi | 85–95% of plan speed | Ideal for mobile, laptop, OTT streaming |
| 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi | 60–80% of plan speed | Use for IoT or distant devices |
💡 For fastest uploads and downloads, use a LAN connection whenever possible.
📶 2. Optimize Router Placement
- Keep router in an open, central area (not behind walls or inside cabinets).
- Place router 4–5 feet high and away from metal, mirrors, or appliances.
- Avoid placing router near TV, microwave, or cordless phones.
- Use the 5 GHz band for short range, high-speed connections.
🔧 3. Reduce Device Load & Background Usage
- Disconnect idle or unused devices.
- Close apps like YouTube, Netflix, Google Drive, and OneDrive when testing speed.
- Turn off automatic updates and cloud sync temporarily.
- Limit the number of devices streaming 4K or downloading large files simultaneously.
📈 4. Improve Upload Speed
- Connect via LAN instead of Wi-Fi for stable uploads.
- Avoid running multiple uploads (Google Drive, video calls, etc.) at once.
- Keep your router firmware updated.
- If uploading large files often, upgrade to a higher-speed plan for better upstream bandwidth.
🧠 5. Restart & Refresh Your Network
- Restart your router once every few days to clear memory cache.
- If you notice a sudden slowdown, power off your router for 1 minute and restart.
- Periodically reboot your device (PC or mobile) to refresh the network adapter.
