I’m having trouble with my internet connection. A wierd one -.-
→ Ok, basically the router is at the front of the house and my laptop is at the back of the house. I had a perfect connection where ever I went. Say a 4/5 Bar connection wherever.<—
NOW…
I’ll use the game I play for example (Not the games fault, videos stop loading to) I’m on my bed which is the longest distance from router (It used to work fine) But now I get 1-2 Bars when I’m here and my game disconnects every 4-5 seconds which makes it unplayable… But the wierd part is, when I move it from the start of the bed, to the middle (closer to router) I don’t disconnect as much, then at the end of the bed - 3 Bars…
I then move the laptop onto a desk at the end of my bed (closer to router than bed), I get 4 bars. But it’s very touchy - If i rotate the laptop 90 degrees… I lose 1 bar of connection and sometimes disconnect.
I have completely rearranged my room so that I get a full 4 bars (I did like laying on the bed though, But i’ll dc if I do)
What would the cause of this be? And how can it be rectified?
This started happening about 1-2 weeks ago, I thought it was the game at first after a big update was released. I however noticed that no one else had it and videos stopped loading to meaning it was my connection at fault.
The router is in the same place and has never moved. Was kind of hard to explain this so it may be confusing
1st: the bar number isn’t accurate, it’s changing all the time, depending on your environment (= other people running wi-fi connections in your area)
2d a wi-fi connection isn’t a mobile phone, it doesn’t change so easily (like losing the signal or getting a weaker signal when moving the connected device a little bit)
3rd: change your channel in your router, you might get better results
4 stop wasting your time moving the furnitures in your room ;D
Well, even if I ingore the bars thing. I still notice a terrible connection and the other laptop can’t even connect when in my room. I used to use that one while mine was getting fixed. So there is defintely a problem
is your neighbours close ?
do they have wifi ?
are they using the same cannel as you ?
you can find out with this program " NetStumbler "
then you can see all wifi net around you and what cannels they are using, and switch to one not used
