💡 Tip: If your speed is under 40 Mbps, try switching off Wi-Fi and using mobile data if you're on a phone.

🧪 Step 3: Try these troubleshooting tips

🔄 Restart your device
Works for phones, tablets, and computers. It can help reset the connection.

📶 Test another device
If other devices are also slow, it’s likely a Wi-Fi issue.

📱 Switch to mobile data (mobile app only)
Turn off Wi-Fi and try your phone’s data to see if the app runs better.

❌ Close background apps or browser tabs
Apps and tabs running in the background can use up bandwidth.
