Connectivity problems with the network.
Connectivity problems with the network.
You're experiencing network issues despite using home plugs and a strong WiFi signal. The high ping in your games suggests a potential delay in data transmission, which could be caused by distance or interference. Your speed tests show a discrepancy between your PC and phone connections—what seems fine on one device might not be on another. Try checking the router's placement, ensuring it's centrally located and away from walls or metal objects. Also, verify that your home plugs are properly connected and not overloaded. Consider running a network diagnostic tool or contacting your ISP for further assistance.
Establish a connection between your PC and the WiFi network. Verify whether the device is your PC or the internet source. As an alternative, relocate your PC to a lower floor and link it directly via cable to the router to determine if the issue lies with the PC or the home wiring.
My device lacks a Wi-Fi connection, but I'll attempt to connect directly.
From a home plug perspective, Powerline Adapters seem effective under suitable conditions. However, older homes with outdated wiring can face challenges, particularly with newer high-speed models struggling to transmit signals through old electrical systems. Similarly, modern homes using inexpensive wiring may encounter the same issues. As @Mr_Argon suggested, consider testing a direct Ethernet connection to see if it provides comparable performance. If your phone supports 100mAh, I can confirm that a quality PCIe Wi-Fi adapter would likely perform better than a Powerline Adapter from the same location, which might be worth considering if the Powerline option isn't viable.
I connected directly via Ethernet and achieved 100 Mbps. The power line adapters are nearly two years old. Would you like suggestions for a reliable PCIe Wi-Fi adapter?
