ISP provided a shitty router/modem all in one, has great speed over ethernet cable but terrible speed over wifi.
I want to buy two more home base like things I can run ethernet cable to and extend the range/get better speed away from the router
Are those a thing? Any recommendations?
I’d like to do the mesh thing, otherwise I’d have to buy a whole new modem and router.
My PC has extremely slow downloads (around 4–7 KB/s), and apps fail to launch or install properly. Minecraft downloads are also extremely slow.
PC specs:
RTX 3060
Intel i5-9400F
16 GB RAM
Modified/debloated Windows installation
What I’ve tried:
DISM and SFC scans
DNS flush and Winsock/TCP-IP resets
Checked DNS, ping, HTTPS connectivity, and proxy settings
Started BITS successfully
Tested Cloudflare downloads
Tested in Safe Mode with Networking, with the same slow speeds
Findings:
Other devices on my internet work normally.
PC is connected via Ethernet to a Wi-Fi extender.
Ethernet link reports 1 Gbps.
Ping works with 0% packet loss, DNS works, and HTTPS returns HTTP 200.
Downloads still time out at roughly 4–7 KB/s.
Problems started around a Windows update. My surge protector was also switched off and back on while the PC was running around that time.
I’m out of ideas. What should I test next to identify the root cause before reinstalling Windows? This just started happening a couple of days ago.
im getting a device that i do not want my family to know about right now and im planning to connect it to the wifi through my computer's hotspot
Hi There,
i am wondering how you guys prove the user experience after a deployment or analyzing a existent WiFi-System. I am an external consultant for networking... Usually I start with RSSI measurements with ekahau or hamina, well NICE and GREEN, but it says after that nothing about the Real live... -> Companies IT-Internals tend to fully ignore the user experience. Usually my prove is: "...walking with my smartphone having a teams call while leaving the campus. ..." Do you have a ritual like this?
Hi all! I'm going to sound so dumb because I am not tech savvy at all. We are trying to put up some cameras just to feel more secure now that we have a new baby. We do have a few gamers in the house so we opted for like high speed wifi I think? It looks like the router (or maybe modem? I really couldn't tell you) only lets us go down to 5ghz? And it also seems like every camera ever uses 2.4. What kind of options do we have? Do we have to pay for a second wifi plan just for the lower one for cameras? Any ideas or advice would be great. I've seen Walmart has extenders and repeaters but I don't really know if those will help at all
So had front porch built, Tapo D130 doorbell installed. Connection is really bad. RSSI is -80. One red dot connection.
Tried tp-link extender, but couldnt make it work, app couldnt even set-up the doorbell, once extender removed, all connected on 1st try. Returning it.
So how do i go about the next step ? Buy 1 nod (deco ?), connect to modem and hope it will have a bigger wi-fi coverage than vodafone modem ? If not, buy a second nod and put closer to the doorbell ?
