This is how you can make your internet connection more fast and reliable!

How to Check Your Internet Speed | PCMag

Have you ever wondered how you could possibly get a faster, more reliable internet connection than you currently get?

If this has ever crossed your mind, you’ve come to the right spot.

Due to the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of people are using the internet more than usual due to working and attending classes and meetings from the comfort of their home via the internet.

We’ve gathered the top 5 tips to ensure you get the best, fasted, reliable connection.

Ethernet Over Wi-Fi

An ethernet connection will always be a better, faster, and more reliable connection when compared to using a wireless connection. Instead of having to rely on over the air signals that can interfere easily with other signals around the house, an ethernet connection is direct from the modem to your device ensuring the best connection possible.

Ethernet is also more secure than Wi-Fi, as you cannot hack into an ethernet connection like you can with Wi-Fi

Switching ISP’s

Depending on your location, certain internet service providers are far superior than others. For example, Bell vs. Rogers. In certain locations, a roger’s cable connection might be more stable and faster than Bell’s DSL internet connection. If you have a DSL connection and are experiencing interruptions and slow speed, you might want to give cable internet a try and vice versa.

Use Powerline Adapters

If your Wi-Fi is slow or your Wi-Fi connection is weak and you’re unable to get a direct ethernet connection from your internet modem to your device, the solution is to use a powerline adapter. With powerline adapters, you essentially have 2 adapters. One adapter plugs directly into your modem and a power outlet while the other plugs into your device along with a power outlet. The adapters use the existing electrical wiring from your home to transmit the internet connection and provide you with a reliable ethernet connection that does not require your modem to be directly beside your device.

Upgrade Your Internet Plan

Every internet service provider has multiple plans available. It may be that you are currently on a not so fast internet plan. It is best to call your internet service provider and look at the available options and you might also be able to negotiate a better plan with them!

Reposition your Wi-fi Router And Optimize Settings

If you’re unable to use an ethernet connection and must use Wi-Fi, ensure that your router is in a good central location. Ensure that your router is on the middle floor of your home so the connection will reach all locations of your home. You could also go more in-depth into the settings of your router and optimize them to your needs.

Top 5 ways to study more effectively


How to Study Way More Effectively | The Feynman Technique - YouTube

We’ve all had to study at one point in our lives. We’ve gathered some tips and tricks for you on how you can study more effectively in the future.

Fewer distractions and more studying

The majority of the time while studying, we tend to multitask and do other things. Instead, we need to give studying our full attention and avoid doing other things in the process of studying so that we can retain the most information possible and make studying more effective.

Study for short periods

Instead of studying for long periods, you should limit your studying sessions and ensure you are giving your full attention to these short time frames in which you are studying. Do not let yourself get distracted when you are studying.

Test yourself

You should make practice questions and test yourself. This way you can find out what material you know and what material you should be giving more attention to. Coming up with practise questions and answers to them may help you retain the information much better than just reading the material.

Paraphrase and take notes

When you are reading from a textbook, you should paraphrase what you have just read and take down notes that you can refer to when needed. You might not be able to retain much if you are reading long paragraphs from textbooks however, if you were to take notes and refer to them when needed, you will be able to retain much more.

Find a good studying environment

You should find a nice quiet place to study. For example, you should not be studying in a loud, noisy place where you will not be able to focus and be easily distracted. You should find a quiet place where you are by yourself and away from any kind of distractions. You should also put your phone away to further avoid getting distracted.

This is why a shorter workweek is needed

Having a shorter work week gives you lots of time to do other things, one being having the ability to spend more time with your loved ones. Who wouldn’t want to spend more time with their family and friends? Wouldn’t you love to do that if you had the choice? I’m sure most people would love it and it’s never too late to ask your boss for a shorter work week!


It is important to spend time with your family. For some people, the weekend isn’t the most suitable time for them to spend with their family because that period of time is devoted to other important things. With a shorter workweek, it gives individuals the time and energy to focus on all important things in their lives such as family. With the extended time, you can drop your kids off at school, do grocery shopping with your family, or go visit close family members such as your grandparents. There are multiple activities you could do with your family, which can be almost impossible to do if you were at work.


Spending quality time with friends and family is very important. You can’t be working all the time and not spend time with your family. When you spend time with your family, you build memories that will last a lifetime. You make the family bond stronger which helps you connect with your family (Sletten, 2011). With a shorter workweek, there is lots of time that can be spent with your family.




Do you think having a shorter workweek would make it easier for you to spend quality time with your family and friends? Please leave a comment below.
