Your slow connection might be due to signal disruption from nearby sources.
Your slow connection might be due to signal disruption from nearby sources.
The connection keeps fluctuating between high speeds and low performance, making pings extremely slow. It seems interference might be the main issue, but other factors could be involved. Check if devices are nearby or if there are any new changes in your network setup.
Please share your PC or laptop details, including Wi-Fi card type and network setup. Let me know if any other devices are impacted.
Launch Task Manager and examine your network usage. Resource Monitor, also included in Windows, can help under the Performance tab. Does it continuously flood with data? You might also try Wireshark; its monitoring doesn’t slow until you stop connecting. In Wireshark, navigate to View and select "Show Network Addresses." This displays website names. You’ll be able to identify which requests are sending traffic from your Wi-Fi and possibly block them. NextDNS.io serves as a useful DNS provider—enter your login and it logs all device requests to websites. It works on Android too, with the RethinkDNS app on Android offering similar visibility and allowing local blocking of domains, IPs, or apps.
