Improving Connection Performance
There might be times when DaDesktop warns you that your connection seems to have a 'latency' (delay) that's too slow for good performance.
If that happens, please go through the steps below to try to improve your connection.
Steps to take
- Use an Ethernet connection if you can, or if you're on Wi-Fi, run an Internet speed test beforehand (e.g., using speedtest.net) to check your speed.
- Stay as close to the wireless access point as possible. If you can, choose 5 GHz Wi-Fi over 2.4 GHz, as 2.4 GHz often delivers slower speeds and is more prone to interference than the 5 GHz band.
- Switch off or disable any VPNs or proxies before joining the course.
- If you can, disable any security applications that might interfere with your network connection—these can sometimes add latency and slow things down.
-
You might want to talk to your company's IT support for help, especially if your network is affected by content or network filtering, etc.
Whitelisting the following domains can help:
1. https://\*.npg.io (i.e., any host under .npg.io)
2. https://dd4t.dadesktop.com - Avoid large downloads or uploads during the course—for example, pause Windows/Mac/Linux updates until after the session if you can.
-
Your Internet speed should be faster than: “10 Mbps download & 1 Mbps upload”
