Connectivity problems with Wi-Fi during Zoom or Discord sessions.
Connectivity problems with Wi-Fi during Zoom or Discord sessions.
Hi! I rely on my laptop for remote work via SSH. Back home in the Netherlands, I enjoy a solid 300 mb/s with four signal lines and everything works smoothly. Recently, after moving, I’m now experiencing speeds between 300-400 mb/s with just three connections and about six meters from the router. For regular tasks and browsing, the connection is fast and stable. However, when using Zoom or Discord, the link drops frequently and causes noticeable stuttering. Even short interruptions—like a 30-second outage—happen. Recently, during a Discord call, no web pages loaded at all, and my task manager showed no WiFi activity even though the browser tried to access a site. This is unusual for me, as I never faced such issues at home. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this? Also, using a wired connection didn’t help.
I think you're connecting via WiFi. Are other gadgets using the internet at the same time? If yes, are they also participating in calls? Could you tell me the router brand and your laptop's wireless card model? What settings are you applying on the router? Perform a network scan. Share a screenshot of the channel report (under ‘Analyze’) for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. This will clarify what’s happening.
