"Tech Giants Collaborate to Eliminate Internet Lag with L4S Technology"

A new internet standard called L4S (Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable Throughput) aims to reduce latency and improve internet speed by minimizing queuing and congestion. L4S allows packets to indicate if they have experienced congestion during their journey, enabling devices to make immediate adjustments to prevent further congestion. Companies like Apple, Google, Comcast, and Nokia have shown interest in L4S, and some cable modems already support it. While L4S is not widely deployed yet, it has the potential to significantly improve the user experience of web browsing, video streaming, and real-time applications like game streaming and VR.

"Boost Your Router Speed in Seconds with This Wi-Fi Expert Trick"

A Wi-Fi expert has shared a simple trick to instantly boost router speed by changing channels on the Wi-Fi router, selecting channels 1, 6, or 11. Switching from 2.4GHz to 5GHz can also help due to less congestion. Protecting the router from malware, keeping it up-to-date, and replacing outdated hardware every four to five years are recommended. Placing the router in a central, elevated location away from obstructions can improve signal strength. Avoiding peak hours and limiting the number of connected devices can prevent network congestion. Lastly, a quick reset by turning off and on the router can resolve many slow internet issues.

Boost Your Wi-Fi Speed with These Simple Tricks

Slow Wi-Fi speeds can be improved by changing the channel on your wireless router. Most routers default to channel 6, causing congestion if your neighbors are also using it. By accessing your Wi-Fi admin page or using an app, you can switch to a less crowded channel. This is particularly useful for 2.4GHz routers, while it is recommended to let the router choose the channel for 5GHz or 6GHz Wi-Fi.

BRC-20 Tokens Challenge Bitcoin with Soaring Fees and Market Cap

The Bitcoin network is experiencing increased fees and a backlog of transactions due to the popularity of BRC-20 memecoins minted on the BTC blockchain. Unlike conventional token standards, BRC-20 does not use smart contracts and operates only with wallets supporting the Bitcoin blockchain. The average fee per transaction has skyrocketed, exceeding $16 and peaking at $29 on May 9. The total market capitalization of BRC-20 tokens surpassed $1 billion on May 9. Bitcoin core developers are considering taking action against BRC-20 tokens and ordinals, which they consider network spam.

Bitcoin Plummets as Binance Halts Withdrawals Due to Congestion

Bitcoin and Ether prices are down due to BRC-20 meme coins congestion, with Binance suspending withdrawals twice over the weekend. The congestion is causing chaos on the Bitcoin network, with some blaming meme coins, but others saying they should not be conflated with altcoins like Ethereum or Solana. Paul Eisma, head of trading for XBTO Group, said that Bitcoin's decline and congestion are "growing pains" and that the path for Bitcoin is not straight. He also said that crypto is still in its formative years and subject to the same headwinds that have afflicted other early-stage technologies throughout history.

Binance Halts Bitcoin Withdrawals Due to Network Congestion

Binance temporarily paused Bitcoin withdrawals due to network congestion issues, but later resumed services. The backlog of unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions in the network's mempool totaled around 395,000, driving up transaction fees. The rise in congestion coincides with a steep rise in the number of inscriptions made through Ordinals, as people use the protocol for minting NFT-like assets on Bitcoin to create and trade fungible, BRC-20 tokens. Meanwhile, crypto exchange OKX said Bitcoin deposit and withdrawal services were working fine, despite high transaction costs.
