THE U.S.: With so much of the workforce - and their families - now cooped up at home to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus<\/a>, it's not a huge surprise that home internet<\/a> is showing the strain.

If you've had a business video-conference stutter while your teenagers play Call of Duty online, or found yourself unable to stream the news while your spouse uploads huge data files for work, you'll have a good idea of the problem.

IS THERE A
BANDWIDTH<\/a> PROBLEM?<\/strong>
The internet's core is managing the spike in traffic just fine, experts say. It has massive capacity to handle
Netflix<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Zoom and other streaming services.

True, Netflix recently throttled down its video quality in Europe at the request of authorities there. But the company already stores its programs on servers close to users' homes already, and there's no evidence that it's clogging networks.

IF THE INTERNET IS SO STURDY, WHY DOES MY HOME CONNECTION STUTTER?<\/strong>
The problem partly lies in the so-called \"last mile,\" the link that connects your home to the ultra-high speed internet backbone.

Most U.S. homes get their internet from cable companies and thus connect to the broader network via coaxial cable, a legacy of the cable TV era. These connections provide faster \"downstream\" speeds to your home than \"upstream\" speeds back to the internet. Since videoconferencing sends equal amounts of data both ways, simultaneous sessions can clog the upstream channel and disrupt service for the entire household.

If that happens, one quick solution is to have some family members switch to audio-only, which conserves bandwidth. This also applies to anyone in multiplayer online games, where - per a wag on Twitter - the banter between players often resembles conference calls with occasional shooting.

You could also order a service upgrade, although that might not be strictly necessary. Some providers are temporarily offering more bandwidth, particularly for families with school-age children, in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Others have dropped service caps that charge extra when data usage passes a certain threshold.

The relatively few U.S. households with their own direct fibre-optic connections have the same bandwidth in both directions and shouldn't experience serious hiccups.

You can add more access points and distribute Wi-Fi with a \"mesh\" network. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
DOES MY HOME NETWORK NEED AN UPGRADE?<\/strong>
It might. Start with your internet
modem<\/a>, the device that most likely has a coax cable connecting it to your wall. Your internet provider often rents the modem to you.

If it's several years old, it's probably time to ask your provider if upgrading the modem's internal software, or replacing the modem entirely, will help. Older modems often can't deliver the full bandwidth you're paying for to your household.

Next up is your Wi-Fi
router<\/a>. If you have cable, it may be built into your modem. If you haven't already, try moving it to a more central location in your home or apartment; that will ensure bandwidth is distributed more equally.

Or you can add more access points and distribute Wi-Fi with a \"mesh\" network. Newer routers let you add several satellite stations that boost your signal throughout the house, though you might have to arrange that with your provider.

One more possibility: You can connect some devices directly to the router with ethernet cables instead of using Wi-Fi. This may improve the performance of videoconferencing.

美国:有这么多的劳动力-和他们的家人现在在家里关战斗小说的传播冠状病毒,这不是一个巨大的惊喜,回家互联网显示压力。

如果你有业务视频会议口吃而青少年在网上玩使命召唤,或发现自己无法流的消息当你的配偶上传工作的巨大数据文件,你会有问题的一个好主意。乐动扑克

是否有一个带宽问题吗?
互联网的核心是管理的交通很好,专家说。它有巨大的处理能力网飞公司,YouTube变焦和其他流媒体服务。

真的,Netflix最近节流后视频质量在欧洲当局的要求。但该公司已经在服务器上存储程序接近用户的家庭,没有证据表明这是阻塞网络。

如果互联网是如此坚固,为什么我家连接口吃?
问题部分在于所谓的“最后一英里”的链接连接家里的超高速互联网骨干。

互联网的核心有巨大的能力处理Hulu,亚马逊,迪斯尼,苹果电视+,Netflix, YouTube,变焦和其他流媒体服务。

大多数美国家庭从有线电视公司获得互联网,因此通过同轴电缆连接到更广泛的网络,有线电视时代遗留下来的。这些连接提供更快的速度“下游”比“上游”的速度回到家里上网。由于视频会议将等量的数据两方面,同时会话可以堵塞上游渠道和中断服务为整个家庭。

如果出现这种情况,一个快速的解决方案是有一些家庭成员转向自成一派,这节省了带宽。这也适用于任何在多玩家在线游戏,在那里,每一个在Twitter上摇,球员之间的玩笑往往类似于电话会议与偶尔的射击。

你也可以订购服务升级,尽管这可能不是严格必需的。有些供应商暂时提供更多的带宽,尤其对于有学龄儿童的家庭,为了应对COVID-19危机。其他人则把服务当数据使用额外收费的上限,通过一定的阈值。

相对较少的美国家庭有自己的直接光纤连接在两个方向上都有相同的带宽,不经历严重的打嗝。

您可以添加更多的访问点和分发wi - fi“网”网络。

我的家庭网络需要升级吗?
它可能。从你的网络调制解调器,最有可能的设备有一个同轴电缆连接到墙上。你的互联网服务提供商经常租你的调制解调器。

如果是几岁,可能是时间问你的供应商如果升级调制解调器的内部软件,或完全取代现代,会有所帮助。年长的调制解调器通常不能提供完整的带宽你支付到你的家庭。

接下来是你的wi - fi路由器。如果你有电缆,它可能是内置调制解调器。如果你还没有,试着将它移动到更多的中心位置在家里或公寓;保证带宽分配更加平等。

或者你可以添加更多的访问点和分发wi - fi“网”网络。更新路由器让你添加几个卫星电视台,提升你的信号在整个房子,虽然你可能要安排与你的供应商。

一个可能性:你可以将一些设备直接连接到路由器与以太网电缆,而不是使用wi - fi。这可能提高视频会议的性能。
