(5) Restart your network equipment
Please restart the communication device (router or modem), then wait for a while before attempting to reconnect.
(6) Check with your Internet Service Provider
We recommend confirming with the following:
「Is the slow connection due to network congestion?」
「Are there any security features or services provided by your Internet Service Provider that could be affecting the communication?」

If you are currently using a wireless (Wi-Fi) connection, interference from other devices may affect the connection.
