Check your Internet Plan
Sometimes, your internet connection slows down because of the crappy internet you are paying for. To fix this, what you have to do is to call your ISP and find out what internet plan you have. On the off chance that you’ve measured is exactly close to what you’re paying for, then your network is working accurately and your internet plan isn’t very fast.

Power Cycle your Router or Modem
Before you curse your ISP, we suggest, give your modem or router a universal fix (i.e., turn off and on again) and see if it helps in fixing the issue or not. Check the other devices in your home to see if the internet is slow too. On the off chance that the problem only happens on one device then the problem is that device, not your router or the modem.
