And it could be due to a number of reasons within or beyond the control of the provider. But, quite often the issue is in fact at the user’s end, and quite simple to resolve with a DIY job.

So, don’t remain stuck with slow internet speed. You can try to optimize your CenturyLink Internet so it runs faster, and gets you rid of excessive buffering or load times. Let’s take a look!
The location of your WiFi modem/router is critical to the strength of the signal around the house. If your internet equipment is not placed right, there is a high chance you won’t be able to receive a strong and stable signal in parts of the house that are farther away or blocked off by walls. The farther away you move with your internet-enabled device, the more likely you are to lose signal strength.
The ideal place to setup your CenturyLink WiFi Internet equipment is an area that is central to your house and is not blocked off by brick walls, or surrounded by thick and heavy doors or windows. Preferably also far from electronic appliances, and large water containers like aquariums. Give the signals from the wireless modem all the room to travel farther out in all directions. According to tech experts, your WiFi modem must also be placed higher above the floor level to keep the signal from getting cluttered.
Keep your WiFi device on an open shelf or a tiny wooden wall-bracket. You can even place it on the top of a kitchen cabinet or cupboard, etc.
The right position/location can help reduce the negative impact of clutter around your internet equipment, and you can expect your CenturyLink Internet signals to travel more freely.
Although it sounds very obvious, it is one of the most common, and often ignored, causes of a poor internet connection. Therefore, the next time you are faced with network instability, just make sure to check all wired connections.
It is probably the most effective and the easiest way to fix your internet issues. Just try unplugging the modem and let it remain disconnected for about five minutes. Make sure all the status indicator lights on the modem are switched off. Then re-plug the modem and try reconnecting to CenturyLink WiFi. Power cycling the internet equipment may just make your CenturyLink Internet faster.
Another way to fix your connectivity issues is to reset your WiFi modem. It will return to the factory settings, but this can be the remedy for your slow connection speed. If however you have not yet tried out a reboot, do that first, and see if that helps avoid a reset.
There are 2 ways you can reset the CenturyLink Modem. Via the wireless modem’s user settings web interface or manually.
Sometimes, there maybe a long list of connected devices that you know nothing about. Generally, we tend to think our smartphone is the only device that's connected to the internet. But in reality, there are a lot of other things too.
Always make sure to disconnect devices when they can stay offline. The lesser is the number of unused connected devices, the better chance your CenturyLink Internet will run faster.
It can always be great to allot specific timings to all your work and leisure related activities. For instance, we all know streaming media services consume a lot of bandwidth. Which can leave a negative impact on your overall internet speed. So if there is excessive streaming that occurs while you work or learn online, you must ensure this is reduced to the minimum. And, the same holds true for online gaming.
