Your internet is running slowly and seems to be behaving oddly.
Hello, I’m trying to figure out why your internet behaves strangely after moving into a new apartment. Pages load slowly or freeze sometimes, but when they do respond, everything works fine. YouTube and calls run smoothly, though there’s noticeable lag. The issue seems consistent across different networks (WiFi 2.4GHz/5GHz and cable) and devices. Your setup includes an xDSL connection, a shared modem with unknown specs, and a C20 router for your PC and laptops. Could something be interfering or the hardware not being stable?
IP conflict issue, consider assigning a fixed address to all gadgets—Windows updates for several devices simultaneously. Someone might be hijacking your Wi-Fi. Slow DNS performance can be improved by using 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1. Would you connect to the primary router via another device and then link a wired connection to your PC?
Consider using double DHCP settings; if issues arise, turn off smart routing on your second device.
- I dubt it is an IP conflict or I would have bigger issues lol - it's been happening for few weeks, so no, can't be - this actually sounds plausible, any good monitor tools or do I just check MAC addresses of all devices? - already on 1.1.1.1 - no, it's --- ISP modem ---cable--- my router ---wifi/cable--- my device It's a modem from ISP with 4 ports, 2 ethernet cables running to my apartment and 2 to other. I only use one of those cables for my wifi router.
DHCP problems may lead to slower web browsing. You might want to switch your router to an access point so it depends on the ISP for address assignment. This method helps you see how many devices are connected via https://angryip.org/download/#windows
You probably have two sets of NAT. Since the "ISP modem" is in a different apartment, it seems like a modem/router combo that supports multiple connections, which is only possible if the ISP offers several IP addresses. Double NAT might not completely disrupt your internet, but it can create issues for certain services. Test connecting your devices through the ISP's gateway to see if the problem continues.
