Removing Devices from your Home Network
10
Turn off any devices that you are not using that may be connected to your home network. These types of devices include and are not limited to a PS4/PS5, Xbox, Google Home, Alexa, and Ring. These devices can take up your network and may cause a poor connection if multiple devices are utilizing it at the same time.
Alert! If you have a gaming console connected please make sure it is turned off. Most modern systems have a rest mode feature that will still utilize your network for functions that require a network connection.
