Asked in another sub with very limited responses so i will try here.
I have one room in my house (at the opposite end of my current router room) That has extremely poor wifi connection. What is the best way to go about fixing that without ruining the wifi in my other rooms?
Do i need some kind of wifi mesh or will plugging in an older router work without interferance?

Me and my brother have moved into a new apartment and got at&t but my room is far from the router. What are some good extenders I can get
Just replaced my fiber optic cable because it was damaged and gave crap speeds. Now speeds are my contracted 350 mb/s symetric, but only in the exact room the router is in.
I live in a 500 sqft 2 bedroom, with masonry walls, and in my room, which is one wall away from the modem, I am lucky to get 100 mb on 5ghz and 70 on 2.4.
My router is a 6 year old wifi 5 device. The ISP woman told me 6 years is basically brand new (it is not). I asked a more knowledgeable rep and he told me that I do get a wifi 6e or even 7 upgrade for free. Will it actually help?
I live in an old house with a masonry fireplace in the middle of the house. The house is about 180 m2 / 2000 sq.ft. divided on two floors. The green dot is where fiber comes in.
Unfortunately I can’t run Ethernet between the APs.
Hi, my brother’s friend keeps ddos’ing our router and it’s starting to get annoying because he’ll do it every hour and we can’t use the internet for an hour or two. Would turning on the VPN in my router stop this because it’s starting to get annoying.
Update: He didn’t believe that it was against the law until I started showing him that it was and he stopped altogether. Now everything is fine
Hey Ya'll, I'm trying to find a better wifi adapter for my PC than the one I was given. It worked for a time, but then we got a new router, and it stopped working no matter what I tried to do to fix it. So I got a new adapter, an Archer T3U Plus. This worked for a few days, then i went and actually installed the driver- stopped working as well. Any suggestions? My operating system is windows 11, and I have a USB port, along with a 3.0 port on my PC. My router is also on the second floor of my home, and my PC setup is in the basement
Specs:
Processor: 11th Gen Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-11700KF @ 3.60 GHz
RAM: 32 GB
Graphics Card: 10 GB, AMD Radeon RX 6700
How can i fix this.
A few weeks ago i was working on my laptop and suddenly my network stopped working. Found that wifi was missing and all the settings were gone. I called customer care they asked me to do bios reset and it worked. The next day it again happened and is causing problems on daily basis i simply power off the laptop and turn it on (very irritating while i am busy doing my work). And today even the Bluetooth icon has gone.
What should i do?
So basically my PS5 has issues playing online games. Whenever I play games like Overwatch or Marvel Rivals, other players will freeze, teleport, or move around erratically. My own character doesn’t really rubber-band.
The weird thing is that I also have a PC that’s actually farther away from the router (still in the next room), and it plays the same online games with no lag at all.
I tested the PS5 with an Ethernet cable and everything worked perfectly. No teleporting, no lag, and even the PlayStation Store loaded much faster.
On Wi-Fi, my PS5 gets around 295 Mbps download/upload, uses the 5 GHz band, and has NAT Type 2.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be a PS5 Wi-Fi issue, a Spectrum router issue, interference, or something else? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've read through some of the older thread on here but haven't found anything really answers my question. So....
I'm a homeowner of an older house (1959) without Ethernet currently wired upstairs. We've renovated downstairs and I added Ethernet to every room. We're having issues with our doorbell cameras continually joining and being dropped from our existing wireless network. If I move the access point supplied by the ISP to one side of the basement, the doorbells on that side work and the other side doesn't. And vice versa. So I'm looking to find an access point that has a stronger signal/longer range/help with better connectivity for devices in our home. We have a number of devices including 2 computers, 2 phones, 2 TVs, 2 doorbells, 4 co2,mo detectors.
Our current internet speed is 3Gb supplies via fibre, and I've never had an issue with our Wi-Fi speeds.
Are there any recommendations on brand, or models to look for, or avoid?
I'm Canadian and would likely be able to get a hold of most available types from either Amazon or Memory Express.
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to optimize the Wi-Fi setup in my house. My ultimate goal is to create a single, continuous network that behaves as closely to a seamless mesh system as possible, without buying new hardware. I want devices to hand off cleanly as I move around.
Right now, everything is split into 4 separate Wi-Fi names:
Home (Modem 2.4G)Home 5G (Modem 5G)Tenda (Tenda 2.4G)Tenda_5G (Tenda 5G)I want the minimum of network names, but I'm torn on the technical functionality:
Option 1: Total Unified Network (Single SSID) : Give all 4 bands (Modem 2.4G/5G and Tenda 2.4G/5G) the exact same name and password (e.g., Home).
This seems like the only way to get a continuous mesh-like feel where devices roam seamlessly on their own. but my concern here is will devices (especially the TV) get confused and drop to 2.4G out of laziness if the 2.4G signal has 5 bars but the 5G signal has 4 bars?
Option 2: The Dual-Band Split (Two SSIDs) Unify the physical hardware devices, but keep the frequencies separate across the entire house.
HomeHome 5GThis guarantees my TV stays on high-speed 5G, and my phone can still roam horizontally between the modem and router on the 5G band. The downside is my phone won't automatically switch down to 2.4G if I walk into a 5G dead zone.
Option 3: The Triple Split : Keep 2.4G unified as a backup, but separate the 5G bands so I can force connections.
HomeHome 5GRouter 5GLike this, I can force the TV to stay on Router 5G permanently, but the downside is I lose automatic roaming on mobile devices like phones and tablets.
Which of these three configurations is the best compromise for a large house when trying to get a "mesh-like" experience without actual mesh hardware? Will Option 1 cause my TV and phone to constantly drop to the slightly stronger 2.4G signal in the middle of the house, or are modern devices smart enough to stick to the 4-bar 5G band?
Note on House Layout: This entire setup (modem and Tenda router) is located on the 1st floor. However, the house also has a ground floor and a 2nd floor, so I guess vertical signal penetration would be a factor that need to be kept in mind for mobile devices moving between floors.
Appreciate any advice or experiences with similar setups!
i just got to my parents new apartment from college which offers wifi for us in the form of a Verizon network for each apartment. all of my family's devices work fine on it, its only my phone, laptop and steamdeck who have issues. The issues being that when im connected I often drop down to 100 or less kbps when i should be at 100 mbps. this results in heavy load time for everything which is bad because I have an online class coming up. does anyone know whats going on?
Hi,
Looking for some help/advice on my home mesh WiFi system because I'm not particularly clued up on it.
I have a Linksys mesh WiFi system which currently is operating a 2.4 and 5 GHz under the same SSID. My understanding is that this means that it is just sending both bands out and each device decides which is best to connect to, is that correct?
I have a device which I want to make sure connects to the 2.4 GHz network. Under the Linksys app, within devices it indicates that this device is connected to the 2.4 GHz network, but I have a sense that it is having connection issues. My question is, will splitting out the band's, so that this device has its own SSID for a 2.4 GHz band (with majority of other devices on a separate 5ghz SSID network), help with the connectivity for this device or will it make no difference given that the Linksys app says it is using the 2.4ghz band?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i'm a tenant at a house. My landlord and landlady are fine but they have a vile-nasty teenage daughter. I had a fight with her last week and today i found out that my iphone and my academic laptop couldn't connect to the wifi at all since i woke up. I thought may be it's a wifi issue since sometimes it happens for a few minutes, but when it didn't get corrected after many hours but i kept hearing loud anime streaming noises from her room, i took out another laptop of mine that i don't use much and could connect to the internet perfectly. I asked chatgpt what to do and after turning off the private network access on both, i could connect to the internet. I also tried to look up the MAC address to check if i'm blocked but it says i need to download the Spectrum app to check anything but i don't have the username/password. Do you think she blocked me or was it a problem from my end?
I just moved into a new apartment that offers WiFi through the media package. The office is closed and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set it up or what I need. They left no instructions. I know it’s supposedly a fiber network. I have a router and a modem if needed but I’ve tried plugging the router into every Ethernet port and none seem to be giving me WiFi. There’s an Ethernet port in the living room, and one in the bedroom. There’s is also this in the utility room. Any help is greatly appreciated :)
Affecting LG (& maybe others) using WiFi (LG WOWCAST)
I know there have been LOTS of reports about the audio dropouts and most have attributed it to issues with the software/firmware.
I think it may be an issue with the WiFi.
Does anyone know how to *continuously* monitor a WiFi connection? I know there are apps to check signal strength, etc, but nothing that continuously monitors it. The dropouts do not appear to occur using Bluetooth.
I am having a samsung 32inch tizen os tv , its wifi is not working. I take to a local repair shop and they said that motherboard is faulty and its gonna cost ₹3500. I am having a WiFi connection at first floor and i want to install this tv on second floor. Is there any way other than android/fire tv stick let me know
Every evening around 5:30pm our wifi connection starts crapping out particularly on our laptops and Smart Tv. I’m not sure when it goes back to fine the next day since I’m either asleep or already out. During the day it’s great but at night it’s terrible. It also is only bad on our laptops, iPads and Smart Tv. Our phones are always fine.
It’s not distance seeing as we live in a small apartment in the first place, and although I’m not sure I don’t think it’s the amount of devices connected, because we have the same amount of devices connected during the day and it works fine.
I read something about changing channels but I don’t know how to do that so I’m not gonna try. I also heard about ethernet cables but I want to at least try a free solution before buying something.
This has happened for years but I’m in my first year of uni and it’s starting to stunt my homework. I either have to hotspot or go to the library which I hate cause it’s getting cold.
Hello, does anyone know why does the Samsung Galaxy phones have problem with wifi? Like its not showing my wifi and its just a very weak signal...
My pc is in the same spot and my tv box too, but they show me the routers, even my neighbors routers, but all the Samsung phones what i have, its just not showing up the routers, or just very weakly... Can anyone has a method?
I might try to change the wifi antenna on the phone, but idk...
Thanks for anyone who have an explanation for this problem.
