Try different browser, disabled any VPN, restart laptop, try connecting to another hotspot to see if it's the 4G or the laptop.

My guess would be your laptop is the problem not the 4G.

Ya, the phone is running golden by itself.

You got anything running that could be slowing the laptop down?

Is it a decent laptop?

Try tethering via USB instead of wireless. It's usually a bit faster since it's a direct connection.

Have you tried turning it on and off?

Have you removed all of your jewellery?

Need Tech Help Badly

Maybe some of you younger punks can help me out.

There's no cable or internet where I'm staying. My Verizon 4G LTE phone is getting 3 bars and working great. I have a booster for it that I need to install that'll make the signal even better.

But using it as a mobile hotspot so I can get internet on my computer sucks. The laptop is running like ****, especially with videos, pictures, anything with lots of graphics. Even trying to do work off of our cloud is excruciating.

What's my best option for improving the internet on my PC? Satellite? I'm reading mixed reviews about that. I need a gadget that'll get me good streaming speeds both in and out.

Have you tried turning it on and off?

It sounds like your random access memory is too low or being used up on the PC side, but run a speed test to see whats up with your connection:

Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Post up your results from that along with the specs on your PC and we'll go from there.

Thanks!

There's the problem (I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a RAM issue), and after some digging it looks like Verizon caps out at around 0.68 mbps when tethered, even with an unlimited plan. Maybe look into the Verizon Jetpack, but I don't know if it works with your current Verizon plan or not.

That's the extent of it as far as I can tell. Good luck.
