I've been experiencing a real drop in my internet speed since moving to a new place. My wife and I have Verizon, and while it was great before, now the download speeds are slower than normal. I used to get around 200 Mbps with almost no lag during gaming, but now it's just weak connections and frustratingly slow speeds. I'm wondering if it's an issue with the connection to the tower or if I should consider getting a new router. We did get a free extender from Verizon, but that hasn't helped much either. Any advice on what I can do to improve this situation?

If you're still experiencing slow speeds, I'd recommend checking your router's settings and placement. Sometimes, simply moving it to a more central location can help boost the Wi-Fi signal. You could also try rebooting the router to refresh the connection. Have you done a speed test while directly connected via Ethernet? That might help determine if it's a Wi-Fi issue or a broader problem with your ISP.
It might be worth looking into whether there's any interference from other devices. Things like microwaves and even neighboring Wi-Fi networks can impact your speed. You mentioned that you're already plugged in; make sure that your Ethernet cable is not damaged and is of good quality. If the speed is still low, contacting Verizon for a physical line check could also be a good idea.
