[strong]Slow upload speed getting you down?[/strong][br][br]

[br][br][strong]Try these handy tips[/strong][br][br][strong]Mobile[/strong][br][br][strong]Try using a wired connection.[/strong] If you’re currently using a wifi connection, try switching to an ethernet cable, as wired connections have a faster upload speed.[br][br][ul][li][strong]Clear your temporary files.[/strong] Clearing your history, cache, and cookies can increase the overall speed of your computer, and this will increase your upload speed in turn.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li][strong]Remove other devices from your network.[/strong] Having many devices connected to your internet at once can really slow down speeds, so try removing these. This can include wireless printers and mobile phones too.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li][strong]Remove malware.[/strong] Malware is one of the things that can slow your computer’s speed down most, so you should make sure you don’t have any viruses. You can do this by downloading antivirus software and by making sure that it’s working properly.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li][strong]Change your DNS settings.[/strong] Different domain name servers (DNS) have different speeds. You can change your DNS by finding the fastest ones and entering the code manually in your internet settings or by downloading tools to help get the fastest ones. Two reliable tools are Google DNS and OpenDNS, but there are also some professional level ones that you have to pay for.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li][strong]Update device drivers.[/strong] If your device drivers are outdated it can really slow you down. You can update them by clicking ‘update device drivers’ in your network adapter’s options menu.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li][strong]Upload at off-peak times.[/strong] This one isn’t particularly helpful if you need to upload quickly now, but off-peak times have much quicker speeds, and this is something to consider when choosing the time you upload something.[br][/li][/ul][strong]PC[/strong][br][br]We figured it was worth a shot, downloaded the 2.0.06 firmware, and installed it through my router’s admin UI. The instructions for upgrading the firmware will not be the same for all routers, but here’s roughly what you need to do:[br][br]Go to [http: 192.168.1.1=""](http://192.168.1.1/) and login to your router. If you've never done this, look for instructions that came with your router or do a google search to find the default username and password.[br][br]Click on "administration".[br][br]Click on "firmware upgrade".[br][br]You should see a page like this:[br][br]

[br][br]Click "Choose File" and select the firmware file you downloaded.[br][br]Click "Start Upgrade". DO NOT unplug your router or click anything else in the meantime; let the upgrade complete![br][br]Wait a minute or so for your router to reboot.[br][br][strong]The results [/strong][/http:][div][http: 192.168.1.1=""][strong][br][/strong][/http:][/div][div][http: 192.168.1.1=""][strong]Before[/strong][br][br]

[br][br][strong]After[/strong][/http:][/div][div][http: 192.168.1.1=""][span style="font-weight: 700;"][br][/span]After the router restarted, I re-ran my speed test, and the results were much nicer:[br][br][br]

[br][br]The download speed is still a zippy 57 Mb/s, but now the upload speed is fast too, at 11 Mb/s, or [strong]nearly 70x faster than what it was before[/strong]. Woohoo![br][br]I hope you found the post helpful. If your router has a different firmware upgrade process, leave a comment with the steps you followed so others can find it.
