A stable internet connection can make a big difference to your experience learning or working remotely. If you're having trouble with your connection, or just looking to make things a little bit better, the following tips below should help.
Wi-Fi vs Ethernet port
WiFi Wi-Fi is more susceptible to inference from things like microwaves, bluetooth devices, and other nearby networks that haven't been properly configured.
If possible, plug your computer into an ethernet port instead of using Wi-Fi
If you're having trouble, and you're using Wi-Fi, it's likely a problem with the Wi-Fi and not the Internet.

Move closer to the wireless router.
If you are encountering ongoing problems, unplugging your router, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in. It may take a few minutes to turn back on.
Avoid using interfering devices like microwaves while on important calls, streaming video, etc.
Check the settings for your wireless router. Most people have a router/modem provided by their Internet service provider, and while settings differ, the majority will support 5GHz and 2.4GHz. If your device(s) support it, giving the 5GHz network a different name, and using that one instead is going to provide a better experience for most users.
If you are only able to use 2.4GHz, make sure the channels are set to only 1, 6, or 11.
WiFi Wi-Fi channels allow wireless networks to communicate. By changing the WiFi Wi-Fi channel, you can improve the speed and connectivity of the network.

If you're confident that things are set up correctly, and there is limited other interference, there could be a problem with your router.
If your router is provided by your internet service provider, you can try contacting them to see if replacement of the router is an option.
