Power changes affecting router functionality
Hey there, friend. Your concerns make sense. The lag you're experiencing could indeed be linked to power fluctuations in your home. Since your connection is wired and you're using a modem/router, unstable electricity might affect performance. It's worth checking your power supply and outlet stability. You might also want to test the connection during different times or with other devices to see if the issue persists. Gathering more details about your setup could help confirm the cause.
Reach out to your internet service provider and let them know about the significant data loss you're facing. They should investigate the issue.
You might also consider a Smart UPS, which can help maintain stable power.
It seems like the issue lies within the internal connections. As a DSL specialist, you know these systems are very sensitive to disruptions, particularly from power sources. If there are phone lines running alongside your power cables, it could cause significant problems. Contacting your ISP won’t resolve it. The quickest and most affordable method to locate the fault is to use an AM radio and scan between 500MHz and 900MHz. Notice heavy static—this indicates interference strong enough to affect the signal.
Consider using a different iron model. It might be the particular one that makes too much noise, or perhaps other high-power devices in the same outlet are causing problems. I’ve noticed that my AC unit works fine with the surge strip for DSL, but UK wiring setup differs from others and phone wiring is farther away.
You're looking to compare electrical fluctuations with internet speed using a multimeter. Consider recording various metrics like voltage changes, signal strength, and download rates. Possible experiments include testing under different conditions or equipment setups.
