Hello everyone, I usually try a different internet provider and router, but now I have two services and the issue keeps happening. I can restart the router right away and everything works perfectly—no drops, no slowdowns, nothing. But after a couple of days it starts acting up, with buffering, loading issues, and Wi-Fi dropping. It’s happening with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I also have an echo dot and several smart bulbs connected to my network. Just trying to explain what’s going on and get your help. Thanks!

Do you rely on your ISP's router or your personal one? Which model do you have?

What configurations are available for the WiFi on this gateway? Where is it stored? Ideally, it shouldn't be hidden in a cabinet or basement. It must be placed high up in a central part of the house to ensure good wireless coverage. Consider using a tool like WiFi Analyzer to run a wireless survey and assess the activity in your 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Are you residing in an apartment building or another densely populated area? Your description suggests possible interference issues.

You're asking about Wi-Fi settings and network apps, but your location is described as an attic with a studio. The app recommendation should consider your actual living situation.

The wireless survey is about how we collect data remotely.

I’ll handle it by using my old laptop since my main PC lacks Wi-Fi.
