Program not responding fast enough - vb.net

Question

To get started I created a program at work to read our network tools and store the retrieved data to our database. No problem but the way I set it up originally was every tool had its own instance and was hard coded for each tool.
Now I was tasked with making the program more user friendly so I can send it to other places. So now I database the IP address of tool and location on assembly line so I can cross reference while the code is executing.
On the new program I created an array of my Tool Reader class:
Dim TB(50) As ReadAtlascopco
Then I run through this loop on form load:
Private dict As New Dictionary(Of Timer, Label)()
Private Sub CreateTimers()
For i = 0 To IPCount
TB(i) = New ReadAtlascopco
' timer(i) = New Timerarray
Next
For i As Integer = 1 To IPCount
C = i - 1
timer = New Timer() With {.Interval = 250, .Enabled = True, .Tag = i.ToString}
AddHandler timer.Tick, (AddressOf timer_Tick)
' timer.Interval = (100 * i)
label = New Label()
label.Name = "label" & i
label.Location = New Point(10, 10 + i * 25)
label.Font = New Font("Sans Serif", 9, FontStyle.Bold)
label.AutoSize = True
'label.Width = 100
'label.AutoEllipsis = False
label.TabIndex = i
label.Visible = True
Me.Controls.Add(label)
dict(timer) = label
TB(C).ipaddress = TBData(C)
TB(C).StartConnection()
timer.Enabled = True
timer.Start()
Next
Then I go through the timer tick event. Everything works great up until this point. Once I go through the tick event it starts lagging and I miss data.
Is there a way to speed this process up?
Here is the tick event:
Private Sub timer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim Stop_Num(50) As String
Dim Line_Name(50) As String
Dim t As Timer = DirectCast(sender, Timer)
Dim s As Integer = Val(t.Tag) - 1
Param1 = TBData(s)
CWE(s) = False
If Activestat(s) = True Then
Dim SQL1 As String = "SELECT Stop_Num FROM TBL_Added_Boxes Where(IP_Address = N'" + Param1 + "')"
Dim output1 As String

Using cmd = New SqlCommand(SQL1, cn)
cn.Open()
Try
Dim dr1 = cmd.ExecuteReader()
While dr1.Read()
output1 = dr1("Stop_Num").ToString()
End While
Catch ex As SqlException
WriteToErrorLog("Error pulling data from the database in reguards to torque box info (Stop Number).", ex.ToString(), "Failed to retreive Torque controler Info .")

The class that is being referenced is one that I created and is working but like I said everything is slow. It seems to hang for 3 to 5 seconds in a single tick event.
As of now I only have 21 tools setup and it will take about 15 to 30 seconds to cycle through all.
