Experiencing slow performance on broadband connections.
Experiencing slow performance on broadband connections.
Upgraded to 350 mbps from 100. Phone near router should reach about 360 by test end. Another room nearby averages 260–280 Mbps depending on distance and setup. PC in my room above the router usually gets 180–200 Mbps, possibly higher if conditions are good. I’m not sure how stable Wi-Fi would be, but it seems downstairs could work for the expected speed. No issues seen with others sleeping during tests. Can I get a Wi-Fi extender, or is this just an external problem?
Are you using a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network? The 2.4 GHz band is already busy and has only about 11 channels available. The 5 GHz offers more options, typically between 36 to 165 channels. Also, does your device support the 5 GHz frequency? Someone suggested powerline extenders, but those can be affected by interference. Consider using a mesh Wi-Fi system if you live in a bigger house or apartment with many rooms.
They work unpredictably. The outcome varies based on the house's electrical wiring. I’d skip them since friends who used them reported terrible speed issues. Edited December 31, 2020 by Sir Asvald Spelling
WiFi boosters reduce performance. Your problem lies here—WiFi routers work best horizontally, not well vertically. Moca works as a solid Ethernet option if you have coax close to the router and your device. If not, consider using Ethernet instead.
