    Tacomaworld.com loads slow on my home computer on WIFI. Works fine on 4GLTE. Trouble shooting with a technician revealed the issue to be with my router, as bypassing the router resolves my issues.

    Are there any settings I could try to change on my router to have faster access of this site? Thanks

    Well off top of my head..How far is the router from the machine?Secondly what kind of router and how old is it? Might be time to upgrade router and get range extenders.

    This is a good place to start. Also, how many devices do you have connected to the router through wifi/lan when you're trying to connect to TW?

    Old and/or cheaper routers can diminish signal substantially, especially using WiFi.

    Is it password protected? If not someone else may be logged on pulling bandwidth. If your router is pretty old it probably needs to be replaced. I used to only get about 2 years out of one until I switched to an apple airport.

    Did this get figured out? TW is slow on Wi-Fi and ok on 5g.

    ALL my other websites run super fast on Wi-Fi TW is the only issue. Looked at router settings don’t see an issue. Anyone having issues?
