Do you have the extender in your room? Shift it to a spot with stronger signal, likely near the center. I’d probably need a better Wi-Fi adapter—those budget USB ones aren’t reliable. Could you install a better Wi-Fi AP? A mesh system might work if running cables isn’t an option.
I checked about adapters and mesh options. For your setup, consider a standard USB-C to USB-C or USB-A to Ethernet adapter depending on your needs. Mesh adapters are great for reliable connectivity—look for ones with strong range and stable pairing. Since your device is in a power strip, ensure the adapter supports power delivery if needed.
Use a Wi-Fi extender to place it centrally, away from your PC. Consider the size of your space. Check if other Wi-Fi devices function properly in the room. Try using a different Wi-Fi adapter if needed.
I relocated it twice now, it appears the connection quality dropped. First in the kitchen and then between the router and my room. The kitchen is near the router. It's a two-story home covering 2,205 sqft. I mainly use my phone and PC, but the speed shown on my phone isn't consistent and doesn’t show any issues.
Are you using a gateway from Xfinity or do you have your own hardware? The reason I asked is because I’ve heard some of the latest Xfinity gateways are designed to support Wireless AC, which could provide a stronger signal range. If you opt for additional services, they also provide their own extenders. Be aware that these can reduce your bandwidth significantly. Keep that in mind.
