IT top tips
Optimising your connection to the Remote Desktop (RDS):
1. Go wired if possible. If your laptop has a network socket and you sit near to
your internet router to work, using a cable rather than Wi-Fi will always be better.
2. If you can’t use a wired network connection, working closer
to your internet router/wireless access point will help.
3. Reduce the number of devices on your network. Almost everything in the
home with a plug on it connects to the internet these days. Your internet
router will likely have a ‘connected devices’ screen to give you an idea of what
other devices might be sharing your internet connection. Games consoles
downloading large software updates automatically are a good example.
4. If you are experiencing frequent disconnects on Wi-Fi despite the above, you
might benefit from changing the wireless channel that you are using. Again,
this is something you can typically configure in your internet router software
and is something that your internet service provider should help with.
