Optimize your internet speed

Learn about internet speed, what affects it, and how to get the most from your service.

The speed of your internet connection to your Wi-Fi® gateway or All-Fi Hub is pretty consistent. You can check it with AT&T Smart Home Manager.

However, the speed you get on devices connected to your network can vary. The number of devices you connect to Wi-Fi, how you use them, their age and type, and Wi-Fi signal strength all can affect speed. Learn other factors that affect your internet speed
