WiFi "Speed" is 0.5Mbps (Extremely Slow)
4.5
The internet is technically connected, but it takes minutes to load a single image.
Symptoms
- Near-zero speed
- Timeouts
- Unusable web
Possible Causes
- Severe interference
- Failing router hardware
- ISP throttling/limit reached
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Test with Ethernet
If Ethernet is fast, your WiFi environment is the problem (interference).
2
Change WiFi Channel
Use a "WiFi Analyzer" app to find a channel that isn't crowded by neighbors.
3
Check Data Cap
Ensure your ISP hasn't throttled you for exceeding a monthly limit.
When to See a Technician
Speeds this low usually indicate a "hardware bottleneck" or a massive amount of packet loss.
