# Improve your Internet connection
Go to[ https://fast.com/](https://fast.com/) and test your internet connection, if you get less than **1.5Mbps** you will need to find a better way to connect. More than 10Mbps will ensure a good experience
Try to get closer to your internet router, ant test again. If the connection does not get better. Connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable.
If your home connection is not good enough you can try sharing the internet connection from your phone to your laptop, but be aware that it will consume a lot of data if you start a video sharing from your phone, and you may incur extra costs on your mobile internet plan.
If none of the above help improve your connection, try to get to a place with a better connection to join the meetings.

1. Look for an Ethernet cable long enough to reach the router from your desk. 
2. Connect one end of the cable to one of the ports on the Router (Labeled LAN or Ethernet):\
3. The other end of the cable should connect to your computer Ethernet port, if it does not have you will need to find an adapter.
