3 reasons of low-quality Internet connection

And how to fix them. From the creator of Internet Connection Monitor
Top-3 Internet connection problems

Reason 1: Slow computer or phone

Quite often the issues with Internet connection are caused by using a very old computer that cannot handle even basic tasks. The older the computer – the older are the hardware and the OS. Modern websites and software rely on the latest features available in browsers and software. If the computer is too old, it may not be able to handle the load your perception of the Internet speed will be that it's dramatically slow, however, the actual speed may be fine and it's just the computer which causes everything to last forever. Also, if your PC is a decent machine, check it for viruses and malware.

Common issues

  • Delayed response of the interface in general
  • Frequent system error messages
  • Insufficient memory with system hangs or restarts
  • Video freezes
  • Everything takes forever

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Buy a new computer. It will be faster, with newer version of OS, software and hardware
  • Clean it up from garbage and viruses. Google the tutorials or go to a computer repair shop for assistance

Reason 2: Low quality or old router

Apart from a modern computer, your router should not be a $15 box of microchips. A lot of issues with Wi-Fi are either related to the low performance of the router's wireless subsystem in crowded areas or the weak signal strength. By crowded I mean when there are multiple routers nearby that interfere with the signal of your own router. You'd want to have a modern router that at least supports Wi-Fi 5. If you're not tech savvy, just pick a decent $100-$150 TP-Link or Asus.

Common issues

  • Wi-Fi disconnects periodically
  • Wi-Fi connection quality becomes worse over time
  • Wi-Fi speed is very low even in a close proximity to the router
  • Downloads interruption
  • The OS says the Wi-Fi connection isn't secure

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Buy a new router
  • Upgrade router's firmware
  • Reposition router
  • Adjust Wi-Fi settings such as Wi-Fi channel
  • Restart router frequently

  4. Google Nest Wi-Fi Router – $74.99
  5. TP-Link AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router – $66.98

Reason 3: ISP (Internet Service Provider) issue

The hardest to troubleshoot and the most annoying one. But before you upgrade all of your hardware determine the side that has the problem – ISP or your own network or computer. Check if there are connection dropouts using Internet Connection Monitor.

Common issues

  • Intermittent connection issues
  • Unstable connection speed
  • Video freezes
  • Web pages load interruption
  • File downloads interruption
  • High ping and packet loss in games

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Use Internet Connection Monitor (ICM) or similar software on your laptop close to the router to diagnose the connection drops and ensure it's actually an ISP issue
  • ⭐️ Ask your provider support crew to help with the connection stability, providing them a log of disconnects that can be logged by Internet Connection Monitor (ICM). It might be a waste of time, since the support may just suggest you some crappy advice like rebooting your computer or something similar – be ready to dedicate some time for interacting with their crew
  • Change your ISP. You may just pick a more stable service provider and fix the issues

Great tool. We have a main router that reaches 100% cpu load during the day and this tool is great for logging the number of disconnects and the duration of them

Thanks for your help in revealing, objectively, how bad my ISP is. The graphics in the statistics are clear to understand. Somewhere recently the connection log added a third column show the duration of the status. That was a nice upgrade as I used to export the data and drop it in a spread sheet to calculate the duration. Now the data can be used as is.

Works great so far. Thanks a lot. Very helpful. Lost internet connection several times while writing this short review alone! Haha. The sound indicator is a very helpful feature. Nice UI design as well with good options and not confusing in any way. Well done.

FAQ

Q: Where is the extension icon?
A: At some point Google Chrome changed the way extensions are displayed. You need to click on the puzzle icon to the right of the address bar and then pin Internet Connection Monitor
Where to find ICM extension icon

Q: What are the connection statuses?
A: The extension monitors the Internet connection and reports 3 statuses:
  • 🟢 Online: Internet connected
  • 🟠 Connection issues or "No Internet connection. Wi-Fi/LAN OK": if Chrome itself cannot properly determine whether Internet connection is down while you're connected to LAN (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) - this status will popup. Most likely, your LAN (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) is connected, but there is no Internet connection behind it. In most cases, it is ISP/provider issue
  • 🔴 Offline or "No Internet connection": Internet disconnected. LAN (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) may work or not, but Internet itself is unavailable
Q: How does the extension test the connectivity?
A: The extension uses a combination of Chrome internal API and pinging Google servers via https (port 443). It does not expose any open ports or something else that could compromise user's security

Q: What is the testing interval?
A: How frequently to ping Google servers to determine the status of Internet connection. The option is configurable: check very 1, 2, 3 or 5 seconds

Q: Does this extension have access to my browsing history, etc?
A: It does NOT. Moreover, it does not require any special access at all (you can notice that other extensions ask you to give them some permissions during the installation process)

Q: Does this extension record my IP address or something else?
A: It does NOT. The extension uses ipify.org API to get the public IP address. Read the Privacy Policy to get a better perspective on your data's privacy.

Q: Can this extension measure Internet speed?
A: It cannot. Please, use Speedtest by Ookla

Q: Will it work if Chrome is closed?
A: Not, it will not. You need to have a Chrome window open to track your connection log. It's relatively easy to add Chrome to autostart on Windows, Mac or Linux

Q: Will it work if computer is in sleep?
A: Yes, it should work, but the mechanism of tracking the disconnects while the computer is in sleep has not been thoroughly tested. Macs, for example, wake up every couple minutes and ICM checks the connection. But do not rely on precise measurement during the computer sleep, keep the computer running. Alternatively, use Realtime monitor inside ICM to check what's going on. Access it via main extension popup

Q: Can you use it on Microsoft EDGE, Brave or Chromium?
A: Yes, you can. It works on all Chromium-based browsers

Q: Is there a Firefox extension?
A: Currently, only Chromium-based browsers are supported (Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft EDGE, etc) are supported. There is a feature request to implement a Firefox version. Vote for it if you want to speed up the development

Q: Can you give an advice on how to improve Internet connection overall?
A: Read the article about the 3 primary reasons of Internet connection issues

Q: ICM shows Offline even when Internet is connected. How to fix?
A: Most likely it is caused by another extension or software (anti viruses, ad blockers, malware scanners, etc) blocking the monitoring. For example, Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocks all ICM connections to Google. Read how to fix

Improve your Internet connection (legacy)

3 root causes of low-quality Internet connection. From the creator of Internet Connection Monitor

3 primary reasons you're experiencing the issues with Internet connection (connectivity, stability, speed).

Reason 1: An old computer

Yeah, you may think that you have issues with Internet connection whereas in reality it's a 10-year old computer that cannot handle even basic tasks. The older the computer – the older are the hardware and the OS. For example, Chrome updates its browser almost daily. They add new features Also, if in addition to that your router is also 10-years old, connection problems are just guaranteed.

Old computer – Common issues

  • Delayed response of the interface in general
  • Frequent system error messages
  • Insufficient memory with hangs of the system
  • Video freezes
  • Everything takes forever

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Buy a new computer. It will be faster, with newer version of OS, software and hardware
  • Or clean it up from garbage and viruses. Google the tutorials or go to a computer repair shop

Reason 2: Low quality connection from Internet provider (ISP – Internet Service Provider)

The hardest to troubleshoot and the most annoying one. First of all – you need to check if there are connection dropouts. ICM can help with that.

Provider – Common issues

  • Intermittent connection issues
  • Unstable connection speed
  • Video freezes
  • Downloads interruption
  • High ping and packet loss in games

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Use Internet Connection Monitor (ICM) or similar software on your laptop close to the router to diagnose the connection drops and ensure it's actually a provider issue
  • ⭐️ Ask your provider support crew to help with the connection stability, providing them a log of disconnects that can be logged by ICM. It may be a waste of time, since the support may just suggest you some crappy advice like rebooting your computer or something similar
  • Change your ISP

Reason 3: Low quality router

Apart from a modern computer, your router should not be a $15 box of microchips. A lot of issues with Wi-Fi are either related to the low performance of the router's wireless subsystem in crowded areas or the weak signal strength. By crowded I mean when there are multiple routers nearby that interfere with the signal of your own router. You'd want to have a modern router that at least supports Wi-Fi 5. If you're not tech savvy, just pick a decent $100-$150 TP-Link or Asus.

Router – Common issues

  • Wi-Fi disconnects periodically
  • Wi-Fi connections becomes worse over time
  • Wi-Fi speed is very low even in a close proximity to the router
  • Downloads interruption

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Buy a new router
  • Upgrade router's firmware
  • Reposition router
  • Adjust Wi-Fi settings such as Wi-Fi channel
  • Restart router frequently

\ No newline at end of file +Improve your Internet connection – 3 main reasons it's bad

Improve your Internet connection (legacy)

3 root causes of low-quality Internet connection. From the creator of Internet Connection Monitor

3 primary reasons you're experiencing the issues with Internet connection (connectivity, stability, speed).

Reason 1: An old computer

Yeah, you may think that you have issues with Internet connection whereas in reality it's a 10-year old computer that cannot handle even basic tasks. The older the computer – the older are the hardware and the OS. For example, Chrome updates its browser almost daily. They add new features Also, if in addition to that your router is also 10-years old, connection problems are just guaranteed.

Old computer – Common issues

  • Delayed response of the interface in general
  • Frequent system error messages
  • Insufficient memory with hangs of the system
  • Video freezes
  • Everything takes forever

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Buy a new computer. It will be faster, with newer version of OS, software and hardware
  • Or clean it up from garbage and viruses. Google the tutorials or go to a computer repair shop

Reason 2: Low quality connection from Internet provider (ISP – Internet Service Provider)

The hardest to troubleshoot and the most annoying one. First of all – you need to check if there are connection dropouts. ICM can help with that.

Provider – Common issues

  • Intermittent connection issues
  • Unstable connection speed
  • Video freezes
  • Downloads interruption
  • High ping and packet loss in games

What to do?

  • ⭐️ Use Internet Connection Monitor (ICM) or similar software on your laptop close to the router to diagnose the connection drops and ensure it's actually a provider issue
