How do I improve my connection?
Work through this list — the first two fix most cases.
- Switch to Ethernet, or 5 GHz Wi-Fi if a cable isn’t possible.
- Turn off your VPN.
- Close torrents and downloads on your local computer.
- Lower the bitrate in A-Menu → Streaming to roughly 30% below your measured speed.
- Disconnect external monitors from your laptop.
- Close unnecessary browser tabs and disable browser extensions.
- Plug your laptop in — below about 40% battery, power-saving modes throttle performance.
