Cybersecurity Tip of the Week – If Your Connection is Strangely Slow For Long Periods, Investigate Why

There are countless factors that can slow down a network connection, from failing infrastructure (both in and outside the home) to bandwidth leaks to unauthorized users sapping your connection from outside. If you frequently experience slower-than-normal internet speeds, go into your router’s settings and look for possible causes.
