How to troubleshoot NWE Wireless Networks internet performance issues

Before starting to troubleshoot the speed of your NWE Wireless Networks internet connection, we recommend that you run a NWE Wireless Networks Internet Speed Test to confirm your current internet speed.

You may also want to confirm the guaranteed minimum download speed you have subscribed to from NWE Wireless Networks.

You can get this info by checking a NWE Wireless Networks broadband bill, your NWE Wireless Networks contract or by contacting NWE Wireless Networks.

Possible causes of NWE Wireless Networks’s slow internet speed

Is it the NWE Wireless Networks internet connection that is running slow or could it be your device (PC/laptop/phone)?

You may need to consider the number of applications are currently running on your device.

The speed issue may be due to over-utilization of your device’s resources e.g RAM/memory/CPU Processor and as opposed to a problem with NWE Wireless Networks’s broadband connection.

If you’re on a laptop then you can use the task manager to check your Processor and RAM utilisation.

On other device, you should try restarting the device which hopefully should kill all programs that may have been hogging your systems resources.

Run the NWE Wireless Networks Speedtest on your PC and your mobile phone to see how the results compare between the 2 devices.

This should hopefully give you some info to help determine whether the problem lies with your device or the NWE Wireless Networks internet connection.

Is the Wifi the problem?

The cause of the performance issue may be your internal Wifi network as opposed to the NWE Wireless Networks internet connection.

You can rule out the Wi-Fi network by simply connecting your PC directly to the NWE Wireless Networks broadband router with a network cable and then run the NWE Wireless Networks Speed test again.

If the speed test result is better when you’re connected by an ethernet cable, this suggests that the issue may be with the Wifi.

A few other things to look further into:

Are the Wireless channels that you’re using for your Wifi network network (SSID) overlapping with the neighbors?
Is your wireless network signal from the internet router obstructed?
Does the speed improve when you’re standing right in-front of the NWE Wireless Networks broadband router?

Exactly who’s connected to my Wi-Fi network?

Have you checked that your Wifi network password has not been hacked? Do you have an un-secured wireless network? How secure is your Wifi network password? It could be time to update it.

Others could be using your Wifi network and using up all your NWE Wireless Networks bandwidth by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or videos over your NWE Wireless Networks internet connection! Worse still, they could be conducting illegal activities over your NWE Wireless Networks broadband connection.

Here are three applications that you can potentially utlise to analyze your wireless network to check who’s connected:

Microsoft Windows users can use Wireless network watcher
IOS users can use whoFi (who is on my Wifi)
wifi network scanning tool WiFi Analyzer

The above applications will scan your Wi-Fi network and display a list of the devices connected.

How to check who’s on your NWE Wireless Networks Wifi network

Should I get a wireless booster for my NWE Wireless Networks broadband?

If you find that you have wireless coverage gaps at your home, a Wifi network extender also known as a Wi-Fi Booster is the best solution to boost your wireless signal to cover any coverage holes.

Cheapest Wi-Fi Signal Extenders

The Wifi extender simply picks up your existing Wi-Fi network signal as it is starting to become weaker and re-transmits the Wi-Fi network signal to increase it’s reach.

Place the wireless booster where your Wifi signal from your NWE Wireless Networks internet router is becoming weaker.

Place it near where your wireless signal is dropping down to less than two signal bars. Walk around your house with a smartphone to find where this location is.

When did you last upgrade the NWE Wireless Networks broadband router?

The NWE Wireless Networks and broadband infrastructure, in general, are constantly upgraded to support new features and improve reliability as technology evolves. Always ensure that your NWE Wireless Networks broadband router is running the latest software.

Most NWE Wireless Networks internet routers will allow you to perform the software update by simply logging into the NWE Wireless Networks broadband router and simply clicking a button to do the update.

If you cannot do this, contact NWE Wireless Networks and they will do this for you or guide you through the process.

As well as upgrading the software, if you have had hardware for a long period, it is worth talking to NWE Wireless Networks to request for a hardware upgrade.

Is the problem outside your property (at the exchange)?

This is probably the most likely reason for NWE Wireless Networks broadband performance issues in your area and it’s more common with broadband connections that are delivered via copper phone lines.

If you’re unsure if this is applicable to you, you should contact NWE Wireless Networks who should be able to carry out the relevant connection checks to check if there is a problem on the NWE Wireless Networks broadband line.

Is the performance issue because of NWE Wireless Networks Internet congestion?

If you’re finding that the NWE Wireless Networks internet connection speed in your area is slows down during certain periods i.e. weekends or during the evening, then it may be due to congestion during peak times.

What’s Broadband Contention Ratio and does NWE Wireless Networks have contention?

You should speak to NWE Wireless Networks to find out your minimum speed.
