Test and Improve your Internet Connection

Ensure you’re using a reliable network connection by testing it on speedtest.net. You can compare your WiFi’s up & download speed to your cellular connection and see which has a better latency. In case you have to use a WiFi connection, restart your router or modem if you haven’t done this in a while and reduce the number of devices connected to the same network.
