How to Optimize your Home Office IT Performance

As many companies are rapidly moving towards a telework model amidst the current global crisis with coronavirus (COVID-19), we wanted to share some tech tips to help ensure your connection is strong, fast and secure.

Following these best practices will provide you with the best performance when working remote.

• Use a Wired Connection – Wireless or using hotspots are good in a pinch but not for your regular workday. A wired connection provides constant and faster speed than a wireless connection and is more secure.
• Review your Equipment – Call your Internet Service Provider and have them review and do a refresh of your systems to ensure the strongest connection.
• Run Updates – If you are running on a PC, run windows updates, patch and reboot – until there are no updates available.
• Subscribe to an Antivirus – Most ISP providers offer free antivirus programs.
• Remain Vigilant – Home resources are oftentimes weaker depending on your setup. Please remain vigilant when opening any attachments and clicking on links.
