Nowadays, it is difficult to go without internet using a smartphone or laptop. But slow internet is the ultimate form of annoyance! Did you know that you can increase your mobile or Wi-Fi internet speed by using some simple settings and tricks?
In this post, we will know 7 effective ways to increase internet speed, through which you can improve the performance of your device to a great extent.

 7 simple tricks to increase internet speed: 

📱 1. Check APN settings on mobile

APN (Access Point Name) is the gateway to mobile internet. If you have a wrong or outdated APN, the internet can be slow.
How to do it (Android):
Settings ➤ Mobile Network ➤ Access Point Names ➤ Select your operator's Default APN.
📌 If you want, you can also get the correct APN settings by visiting the operator's official website.

🔄 2. Use 4G/5G Only mode

Sometimes the mobile network automatically switches to 3G or 2G, which reduces speed.
Change the settings:
Settings ➤ Mobile Network ➤ Preferred Network Type ➤ 4G/5G Only
⚠️ This will not work if your area is not covered by 4G coverage.

🧹 3. Turn off Background App Data

Many apps use data in the background, which slows down your speed. Go
to Settings ➤ Apps ➤ Data Usage ➤ Turn Background Data Off for specific apps.

🔌 4. Restart the router for Wi-Fi

If Wi-Fi is slow, turn off the router and turn it on after 30 seconds.
Also, place the router in a central or open area so that the signal spreads well.

📶 5. Change DNS settings

Browsing speed can be increased by changing the DNS server.
Android or Wi-Fi DNS change:
Settings ➤ Wi-Fi ➤ Modify Network ➤ Advanced ➤ Static IP ➤
DNS 1: 8.8.8.8
DNS 2: 8.8.4.4 (Google DNS)

✈️ 6. Turn Airplane Mode on and off

Sometimes, if there is a temporary problem with the mobile network, turn Airplane Mode on for 10 seconds and then off again. This refreshes the network.

📲 7. Use Lite App

Apps like Facebook Lite, YouTube Go, Opera Mini, etc. use less data, so they perform well even at low speeds.


You don't need any big software or apps to increase your internet speed. Just change some simple settings and habits and you will get much better speed than before.
Results may vary based on the operator or router you are using, so try each trick step by step to see which one works best for you.
