Direct Connection
-
If you’re watching Optus Sport at home on the big screen, you might be using Yes TV by Fetch or Yes TV by Fetch Mini or your Apple TV or running an HDMI cable from your computer. Whatever device you’re using, you’ll have the best experience on that device if you use an ethernet cable between the modem/router and your device.
-
If your home is cabled, and your device is on a different floor, or in a different room, use an ethernet cable between your device and the cable outlet.
Equipment
- Aged equipment can affect speeds particularly when impacted with a virus or malware.
- Make sure your computer is free of viruses and malware.
- Make sure you have the most recent software update installed.
WiFi
- WiFi connections are not direct connections to your broadband service, and may be impacted by line of sight, distance from your router, as well as walls/floors between your router and the device accessing your internet.
- WiFi performance can also be impacted by interference from surrounding devices and nearby users on the same channel. Here’s a tip – don’t try and watch Optus Sport on your TV in the kitchen!
- If you use WiFi, you can boost the signal by using a Power Line Adaptor, or a WiFi Extender.
Congestion
- If there are a lot of people using the net in your neighbourhood, your internet at home can be impacted, much like congestion on a busy road. Typically these periods happen when the kids get home from school, you get home from work, and/or after dinner.
- Congestion can occur by users in the home too! If everyone’s on the net when you’re trying to watch your favourite team, then you might be impacted.
