Slow wifi is usually either a distance problem, a congestion problem, or a hardware problem. Let me break these down.
Distance: wifi signal degrades fast through walls. If you're more than two rooms away from your router, consider a wifi extender or mesh system. Mesh systems like Google Wifi or TP-Link Deco are worth it for larger homes.
Congestion: if everyone in your area uses 2.4GHz wifi, you'll experience interference. Switch to 5GHz if your router supports it — it's faster and less congested in apartment buildings.
Hardware: routers older than 4-5 years often struggle with modern demands. If your router is that old, it may be time to upgrade. Look for WiFi 6 routers — they handle multiple devices much better than older standards.
Also check how many devices are connected to your network. Every device sharing bandwidth reduces your speed. Disconnect devices you're not using.
