Poor connection quality and erratic performance, leading to complete service loss
Hey, I see you're facing some internet issues. The adapter you're using seems to be struggling with connectivity, especially in your current setup. You mentioned trying a USB 3.0 wireless adapter but it only works briefly. Since you're in an area without fiber, you're relying on Wi-Fi from a distant router about five miles away.
You're considering alternatives like a longer USB cable or upgrading to a better adapter or PCIe card, but there are some challenges. The distance and obstacles might affect performance. If you want a stable connection, a wired option could be more reliable. A PCIe wireless card would offer better range but is harder to set up. For now, the best choice depends on your needs—if speed matters most, look for a high-performance USB 3.0 adapter with good range or a dedicated Wi-Fi card. If you want a long-term fix, consider moving closer to the router or using a wired connection. Let me know what you think!
It looks like using a cable to boost your USB Wi-Fi dongle’s range might impact your network speed. Purchasing a 20m Ethernet cable could be costly. For a budget-friendly option, consider a range extender. I use a TP-Link RE205 and it performs well with simple installation.
With a USB extension, there should be no noticeable change when connecting it straight to the port. If delays become significant, the device will cease working properly.
It seems the connection might be affected by the change in location. The router could be experiencing instability when moved between floors.
