Slow Downloads? These Tweaks Could Speed Up Your Router

Engadget says simple router tweaks can improve Wi‑Fi performance, including moving the router to a central location and adjusting its antennas.

Reducing interference and connecting devices to the 5GHz band instead of 2.4GHz can help boost download speeds.

Enabling Smart Queue Management (SQM) can cut bufferbloat-related lag and make streaming and gaming smoother.

The main takeaway is that better real-world internet performance often comes from settings changes, not a new plan or router.
