Many users are dissatisfied with the Internet connection speed on their mobile devices and want to increase it. First of all, the Network depends on the operator itself, the tariff plan, coverage and connection quality, but there is also one point that few people know about.
Developers from Nez Droid have created an application Internet Speed Master, with which you can try to increase the Internet speed on mobile devices running Android. The program makes changes to some system files (similar to a Linux TCP/IP tweak) and thus optimizes data transfer settings.
According to the developers, Internet Speed Master supports all versions of Android and all existing firmware. In some of them, this problem has already been solved, so it is impossible to say for sure whether the application will be able to speed up the Internet on a specific smartphone or tablet.
To run the program you need root rights. Here are a few ways you can get them. I advise you to read them:
Also, the Internet Speed Master application can work without root. Read about it below.
How to increase Internet speed (3G, 4G, Wi-Fi) on Android: instructions
1. Open the application. When launched for the first time, the program will require Superuser rights. Provide them.
2. If your smartphone/tablet is rooted, click “Apply Patch” and reboot your device. After this, you can evaluate the results of the program.
3. If you do not have Superuser rights, click “Improve Internet Connection”. Also reboot your device. This method does not work on all devices, so it is better to try with root rights.
To restore the old settings, you need to select “Restore” in the main menu and then confirm the restoration of system files by clicking the “OK” button.
I repeat, in some firmware the problem with Internet speed has already been solved and it is possible that Internet Speed Master will not help you.
Insufficient Internet connection speed often causes dissatisfaction among users. This applies to all mobile devices, not just those running Android OS. It is clear that the speed depends on the cellular operator, the chosen tariff, coverage parameters and connection quality. But there is one nuance that is still known to a narrow circle of developers, specialists and the most inquisitive users.
It turns out that owners of Android mobile devices are in a privileged position thanks to the new application Internet Speed Master, which was created by specialists from Nez Droid. This program optimizes data transfer settings by making changes to a number of system files, which allows you to increase the speed of the 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi Internet on Android devices. The developers claim that Internet Speed Master can work on smartphones and tablets, regardless of the operating system version and user shell. But whether the application will work to increase speed on a specific device cannot be predicted. The fact is that for some models the problem of optimizing the data transfer rate has already been solved in advance, by default.
However, it is still worth trying to increase your Internet speed, and to do this you will need to root the device. We have repeatedly described how to do this for Android smartphones and tablets on our website in the “” section. There is one more nuance: super-user rights are required only when you launch Internet Speed Master for the first time - after that you can safely return the old settings and continue to use the application. And now the instructions:
If you have root rights:
1.
2. Open the application and (if you have superuser rights) provide root access, which it will require upon first launch.
3. Click " Apply Patch
4.
If you don't have root rights, you can try another option:
1. Download the application on Google Play and install it on your device.
2. Open the application. Click " Improve Internet Connection» and reboot the device.
3. Evaluate the effect of using the program.
This method may not work on all devices, so you may still need to gain superuser rights. You can return to the original settings by selecting " Restore" in the main menu and confirming the request to restore system files by clicking "OK".
Do not forget that for a number of Android devices the Internet speed problem is being solved automatically. If the speed does not increase when using Internet Speed Master, it means that you have just such a model - with an optimized data transfer speed.
If you notice that your Internet has become much slower, then you need to start fixing this problem immediately. Applications that run in the background of the phone, certain smartphone settings, or a weak mobile network signal can cause a decrease in Internet speed.
Speed increase
If the reason for the decrease in mobile network load is a weak operator signal, then the only way out is to choose another provider. It is still possible to increase the Internet speed on your mobile phone. To do this, use certain applications or change settings. All possible methods will be described later in the article; do them with your smartphone, and you will most likely be able to speed up your mobile Internet.
Method 1: Internet Speed Master program
Thanks to its popularity in the Play Market, this program has become known to many users. You can use it with or without Root rights. You can configure such rights using special utilities.
- Find and install the Internet Speed Master application. Make sure that the developer Nez Droid is listed under the name of the utility.
- When you launch the program, you will see a warning that the utility will speed up your smartphone or will not work at all. But, in any case, you can try to use it. To do this, press the key "OK" to continue.
- If you do not have root rights, then only one button will be available in the application "Improve internet connection". And if you have the necessary rights, then from the two existing keys select "Apply patch". Next, restart your smartphone and make sure that the mobile Internet starts working faster. Even if you have master administrator rights, you can still use the first option to increase speed.
Now the mobile Internet on your phone will work as fast as possible using this utility. If for some reason you are not satisfied with the result, you can return the settings to their original state or simply remove the program.
Method 2: Internet Booster App
This is another utility that works on the same principle as the one described above, but leads to a different result. Download Internet Booster from the Play Market or Apple Store to your smartphone.
- When you start using the application, you may be notified that you do not have root rights. You will need them for work, as in the previous version.
- To start the process of speeding up the Internet, click on the large round key with the image of a lightning bolt.
- You will see a notification on your screen indicating the successful completion of optimization. Click the button "Cancel" and check your internet connection. If you are still not satisfied with the speed, simply uninstall Internet Booster.
Method 3: Additional Methods
Very often, Internet speed is spent on updates, background applications and much more. By setting the correct smartphone settings, this problem can be resolved.
For example, to disable self-updates, follow these steps:
- Open your phone settings and tap "Data Usage".
- Go to the column "Background".
- Opposite the line "Turn on" move the pointer.
- Next, you will be provided with a list of all the utilities on your smartphone. Disable programs you don't need. Now, when these applications go into the background, they will not consume Internet speed.
Clearing the cache on your phone may also help. To do this you need to do the following:
- In the settings, find the column "Smart Manager" and go to RAM.
- You will be provided with a list of all programs that consume traffic in the background. Click stop next to those utilities that you do not currently need.
- Open section "Memory", where information about the availability of free space in the memory of your smartphone will be displayed.
- A column will appear below "Unnecessary data". Click on the key "Delete" and check how much memory is free on your phone.
To avoid problems with Internet speed, do not forget to carry out these steps at least once every few days.
You can also turn off animation themes and live wallpapers. This is necessary to save not only the charge of your smartphone, but also to prevent traffic consumption.
You will need to go to the settings and in the “Wallpaper” section set the static option. You can also remove the screensaver from the lock screen.
After completing all the steps, the Internet on your phone should work much faster. This happens due to the fact that you got rid of all the unnecessary data that was preventing the Internet from working quickly.
The Internet has firmly established itself in our lives and it is difficult for most to imagine an ordinary day without access to it; both entertainment and the search for information or answers to questions are based on the Internet. Modern Android smartphones allow you to access the Internet anywhere, as long as you can get a signal, but sometimes the Internet speed is not at all pleasing: pages take a long time to open, videos are slow, and games have a high ping. All these problems can be solved if you approach the solution correctly, we will tell you how to speed up the Internet and Wi-Fi on your Android smartphone or tablet:)
Internet speed depends on many factors, their totality is what forms the “overall speed”, the main ones can be identified (from the most important to the least important):
- Your provider's network speed
This is the most significant factor, because no matter how sophisticated and fast your device is, if there is a speed limit on the provider’s side, then little can help. The simplest example: if only 3G or even 2G networks are available in your city, and your smartphone supports 4G, you will be limited by the speed of the provider’s network, until the provider switches its networks to 4G, you will have to be content with what you have. Also, some unscrupulous providers may limit the speed after reaching certain conditions: the amount of traffic or the use of certain applications (90% of mobile operators severely cut the download speed from Torrent networks).
- Maximum speed of your device's radio module
This point is easier: even if your provider has a 4G network, and you don’t have the latest smartphone, you will be limited by the speed of your radio module.
- Signal strength
With a weak signal, even 4G Internet will work slowly and unstable: you will experience packet loss, long delays and outright “stupid” problems. In this case, the only and most correct solution is to change your geographical location; if you are in a building, then the signal can be jammed by the walls, but on the street this can be done by metal monuments or vast forest strips.
- Firmware and/or radio module settings
Oddly enough, the default settings may not always work as efficiently as possible - that is, by following our instructions you can significantly increase the speed of your Internet and make it more stable. But it is important to understand that the strength of the Internet or Wi-Fi acceleration effect will differ from device to device.
It is rare to find a person who is completely satisfied with the speed of the Internet they use. There are available methods for increasing the speed of data reception and transmission on the Internet, which are well known to experienced users. Below are specific recommendations and tips on how to speed up the Internet speed using software methods, that is, without expensive upgrades of the equipment used and reconstruction of communication networks.
Knowing exactly the cause can effectively get rid of the problem. Unfortunately, the list of reasons is very wide and Internet speed is often influenced by not one, but several factors at once:
- One of the main ones is the type of connection used, for example, cable, DSL or Dial Up (the latter type of connection is the slowest). If the connection is made via a telephone line (copper wires), then the degree of wear of the wires and their length have a significant impact on the reduction in speed. Today, Internet supply companies are switching to fiber optic cables, which allow for the highest possible connection speeds;
- Activity of various utilities and add-ons in the Internet browser;
- Viruses;
- Overload of popular Internet resources. Frequently visited sites are designed for high loads when a large audience works on them, however, it happens that the servers cannot cope with the flow of visitors;
- Problems with local equipment, for example, an incorrectly configured router, outdated software versions, insufficient power of the devices used, PC components, etc.
The listed number of factors is far from complete. A separate article can be devoted to a review of the reasons, but it would be more advisable to quickly move on to specific methods that allow you to determine and increase Internet speed.
What is the maximum speed of mobile and home Internet?
There is no clear answer to this simple question. The subscriber’s contract with the company providing communication services always indicates the speed, but with the mark “UP TO”. Unfortunately, the maximum value specified in the contract with the provider is never achieved in real conditions. Also, it should be noted that the values in the documentation are measured in “Mbit/s”. You should take into account the ratio of megabytes familiar to people to megabits (1: 8). For example, in the case where the number 100 Mbit/s is printed in the contract, this is only about 12 megabytes.
ADSL
The maximum home Internet speed offered by providers within the framework of ADSL technology standard ITU G.992.1 Annex A (B) does not exceed 12 Mbit, and ADSL2+ is twice as high. However, this popular standard is gradually becoming a thing of the past, since in practice, users using these technologies gain access to the World Wide Web at speeds of no more than 8 Mbit.
Optical fiber Increasingly, communications based on twisted pair and optical fiber are used for home Internet access. Obviously, the bottleneck in this case is the use of copper wire and, as a result, the data reception speed is no more than 100 Mbit. Although the technology allows you to get a value 10 times higher, gigabit speeds are rarely provided to ordinary people for home use.
If only optical lines are used, then the speed values can be tens of gigabits, but ordinary users are provided with from 100 Mbit to 1 Gbit.
Wi-Fi
Typically, using WiFi technology, the speed does not exceed 140 Mbit, while the declared value can be 300 Mbit/s. In practice, the decrease in the indicator is explained by the influence of many factors, for example, interference from electrical equipment, walls and other obstacles.
Mobile Internet
- 2G up to 474 Kbps.
- 3G up to 42.2 Mbit/s.
- 4G up to 1 Gbit/s.
The most convenient way is to use the “speedtest.net” service.
You need to click “Start” and wait for the results to appear on the screen. Even beginners have no difficulty finding out the real speed using this popular resource.
There are many services with similar functions on the Internet; for example, experienced users prefer “Yandex.ru/internet”. Here the test launch button has a different name “Measure”, but the principle of operation is the same.
Knowing ways to increase the speed of home and mobile Internet, a user can increase this important indicator by almost a third without additional costs. Below are specific recommendations that have proven to be effective and work.
Remove unnecessary traffic consumers (programs, devices connected via wifi)
Not only utilities launched by the user consume traffic, but also hidden applications that download updates, exchange statistical data with the program developer, etc. It is recommended, through the task manager, to stop applications that are not required for the operation of the system and the user.
In order to find out which applications are actively using the connection to the World Wide Web, you should use “CS” (Command Line). To accomplish your plans, you will need to launch “KS” with extended powers and take the following sequential steps:
- Type “netstat -b 5 > activity.txt”;
- Click “Enter”;
- The “KS” will display a list of the applications you are looking for;
- Press “Ctrl” and, without releasing, click on “C”;
- A file with a list of connections will be created;
- In “KS” type “activity.txt”;
- Click “Enter”;
- Study the list of applications, closing which will reduce the load on the network and increase Internet speed.
Remove unnecessary toolbars or change your browser and use turbo mode Simply getting rid of unused toolbars in your Internet browser allows you to speed up your browsing experience. Sometimes removing add-ons takes a long time or causes difficulties for novice users, so it is recommended to change the browser to a faster one, for example, switch from the default Internet Explorer to Chrome, Firefox or Opera. The latest browser includes a turbo mode, which increases network speed by almost 10%.
Check your device (PC or mobile) for viruses
Regular analysis of the memory of a PC or mobile gadget by an antivirus software not only prevents the risk of leaking personal information, but also increases the speed of the Internet. Viruses and advertising applications significantly slow down your work on the network, using up traffic for their own needs. However, not every antivirus program is able to rid your PC of adware. The following utilities have worked well to remove them:
- HitMan Pro;
- Malwarebytes Antimalware;
- AdW Cleaner;
- Spybot Search & Destroy.
Disable TCP auto-tuning
To disable TCP_IP auto-tuning, you need to open “KS” with extended permissions.
- Print "netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled";
- Click “Enter”;
- “Ok” will be displayed in “KS”;
- Print “netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled”;
- Click “Enter”;
- “Ok” will be displayed in “KS”;
- Print “netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled”;
- Click “Enter”;
- “Ok” will be displayed in “KS”;
- Print "netsh int tcp show global";
- Click “Enter”;
- “Ok” will be displayed in “KS”;
- Restart "PC";
- Ready.
To reset the TCP_IP stack to default values, you can use the command “netsh int ip reset C:\resetlog.log”. After this, you need to restart your PC.
Using the fastest DNS for the specific connection conditions of the user's PC is one of the best methods for increasing Internet speed.
You will need to complete the following steps:
- Download the “NameBench” application (the utility is freely distributed on the global network);
- Run the utility (no need to install it);

- Click “Start”;
- Click “Computer”;
- Right-click in an empty space of the window that appears;
- Click “Properties”;
- Click “Remote” (Device Manager);
- Expand the “Ports” column;
- Click “Serial Port (COM1)”;
- Open the “Port Settings” tab;
- Set the largest number in the “Bits per second” item;
- Click “Ok”;
- Ready.

How to increase download speed?
If the user is thinking about how to increase the speed of downloading a torrent, it is recommended that first of all, install only official client modifications on the PC. At the same time, the speed is almost not affected by which client the PC owner uses, free or paid. Their differences are reflected in the table below.
Internet providers sometimes set limits for their subscribers regarding the speed of torrent downloads, so you need to do the following:
- Click “Settings”;
- Go to the “Program Settings” tab;
- Click “BitTorrent”;
- Next, in the encryption column, select “Enabled” and check the permission line;
- Click “ok”;
- Ready.
Often the client itself has a reception restriction configured. To remove it you will need to follow these steps:
- Open context from client icon;
- Place the arrow on the line “Reception restriction”;
- After this, a menu will open where you need to check the “Unlimited” line.
Owners of mobile gadgets are often dissatisfied with the speed of wireless connections, even of the most modern standards, so the question of how to increase the speed of 4g Internet or Wi-Fi connection is of concern to many.

How to increase Internet speed on a laptop?
Sometimes on weak laptops the speed is limited by hardware capabilities. Often, installing additional RAM modules allows you to increase Internet speed. It is also recommended to replace the network card with a more modern one.
To get the highest possible speed of access to the global network, you should connect to it from a PC not by air, but preferably by cable connection.
How to increase mobile Internet speed for operators?
In the contract with the subscriber, the mobile operator specifies the speed, but in practice it never reaches the maximum values. You can only get closer to them by following the tips described above in this article. Problems with low speed via cellular communications arise mainly in the evening, when users are most active and after using up the traffic provided by operators in accordance with the connected TPs, the speeds are sharply limited. To increase speed again, each mobile company has its own USSD commands.
Beeline Yellow-striped subscribers often experience a drop in speed to 64 Kbps. With this indicator, even opening Internet pages in a browser becomes unbearable torture and a cruel test of the user’s patience. To increase your speed, you simply need to extend the high-speed traffic provided by your connected plan. For this purpose, you should use the command “*115*121#”. After this, Beeline will provide 1 GB of additional traffic at unlimited speed. However, we must take into account that such an extension is not free (250 rubles).
There are services with extensions for larger and smaller volumes of traffic, which can be found on “beeline.ru”; accordingly, their cost will be higher or lower.
MTS
MTS also has a similar service and it is called “Turbo button 1 GB”. It costs a little less than Beeline (175 rubles). You must use USSD “*467#”.
Megaphone
Megafon customers can use the “Extend Internet 1 GB” option for 210 rubles by entering “*370*1#”.
In addition to using USSD commands, the option can be activated through the subscriber’s personal account.
How to increase Internet speed Rostelecom?
- 100 Mbit/s;
- Turbo acceleration;
- Night acceleration.
After installing one of the three packages the user likes, increased speed will be guaranteed.
Programs to increase Internet speed
There are applications that optimize network settings of equipment and Internet browsers.
Used by a large army of users around the world, the following programs have proven the effectiveness:
- Speed It Up Free;
- Internet Speed Booster;
- Proximodo;
- AuslogicsBoostSpeed.
Applications take up little memory on the PC and are easy to install, for example, the last one from the above list has a size of 7 Mb. It is recommended that after installing the utility, you restart your PC so that the parameter changes take effect.
The installed application can be launched through the icon that appears on the desktop. The menu of all utilities is intuitive, for example, in “AuslogicsBoostSpeed”, click “Tools” and go to the “Internet Acceleration” tab.
To work in programs, instructions are unnecessary. The user can independently select the degree of acceleration after optimizing the settings.
