My wi fi connection is very slow.

I have been having issues the past few weeks with my internet. It is very slow and takes forever for a site to load. I have been with my provider for over a year and have not changed anything. When I connect the ethernet cable the internet works great. I have also contacted my internet provider and everything is working correctly so I know its my network but I am not sure how to fix this.


Please advise!

Which os version are you using?




First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.



Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.


Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.


System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network

Unlock the padlock

Locations: Automatic

Highlight Airport

Click the Assist Me button

In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.


System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.

Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.
