PEOPLE access their Wi-Fi everyday, but few know about a hidden code that can help speed up their internet connection.<\/p>\n

The code is determined by your broadband provider, and can be used to access a little-known menu of router and network settings. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To access this router admin menu, all folks have to do is type their broadband company's code into their web browser. <\/p>\n

If you're connected to your Sky Broadband, then simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In a browser address bar, go to\u00a0192.168.0.1<\/li>\n
  2. Select\u00a0Wireless\u00a0or\u00a0Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n
  3. Enter the default username\u00a0which is 'admin'<\/li>\n
  4. And depending on which hub you have, the password\u00a0is 'sky'\u00a0or the Wi-Fi password on the back of your hub.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The code for Virgin Media router owners is the same: 192.168.0.1<\/p>\n

    But the code can vary depending on what Wi-Fi box you own. <\/p>\n

    For example, the address bar code for BT Broadband customers is: 192.168.1.254.<\/p>\n

    If you're unsure what your router admin code is, you can quickly Google it or ring up your provider and ask. <\/p>\n

    What are the perks?<\/h2>\n

    Once you've punched the numbers into a web browser, you can tweak your Wi-Fi settings to boost your broadband speeds and connection reach.<\/p>\n

    Simply resetting a router can speed up the internet, just like restarting a computer can suddenly fix any tech woes you were experiencing. <\/p>\n

    Rebooting your wireless router can ease internet connection problems and boost your speeds.<\/p>\n

    But there are some other pro tips you can try. <\/p>\n

    Some routers have entertainment settings that prioritise bandwidth while you play\u00a0video games or stream\u00a0content. <\/p>\n

    This is less effective when multiple users\u00a0share a Wi-Fi connection, so users can try turning off the entertainment settings.<\/p>\n

    Wi-Fi customers can also try switching their router from a standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi channel to a 5 GHz channel to boost internet speeds. <\/p>\n

    Resetting the Request to Send (RTS) thresholds on your router could help improve Wi-Fi performance if you're on a crowded network. <\/p>\n
