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.
