Tbf this is the universes way of punishing you for using your computer and console on wifi
Oh to have possible cable access
Powerline ethernet to the rescue!
Also possible to do if you have multiple coax outlets in your building.
Gotta make it happen it’s a huge improvement, even if that means running a big cable taped to the wall
My rule is if the device doesn’t move much (or at all), it should have a wired connection.
Basically my phone and my watch are the only devices in the house on WiFi.
Don’t use the isp’s router/modem, it’s terrible in general.
Use it as an access point for better coverage if you don’t have to pay for it separately, but not as the primary router
I’m literally studying this for my next exam…
… this is a cry for help
Perhaps it would help if you studied the actual exam material instead?
Ahahah, I meant this as in “this subject”
You have an exam about why my neighbor’s WiFi connection is better than my own?
You can do a degree in anything these days
Oh cool, where can I get a degree in shitposting?
Your neighbor is on an older router that does 2.4ghz, lower frequencies penetrate walls better
This will seem counterintuitive, but if this is your actual layout, move your wireless AP to either where the bed is or where the xbox is, assuming there’s power and wiring in either spot for it.
It’s not, it’s just a stupid meme I stole from somewhere else.
Where is the red spot on the toilet?
Why is the neighbor living in the Harry Potter closet?
Wired + Mesh Wifi is the best combo. House not wired? Try powerline Ethernet. It does degrade the more you have so I only have it for my computer and PS5.
That’s what I have. My house is quite long, so I’m guessing my landlord ran a cable from the front wall in the lounge through to the office/bedroom at the back upstairs. As a result, we have two mesh nodes hardwired to the router, then a wireless one in the middle to just fill in any gaps. I’ve never had better wifi.
Sounds like you might have lead paint or thick cement in the walls.
I would just add another node using a powerline near your most popular spots. I would limit it to 2 max.
It just goes to show ya that you don’t need your router when you’re stealing the neighbor’s wifi.
I wish I knew more about networking.
Today is the day to wish no longer
i mean this isn’t really a networking thing, it’s just waves being blocked or reflected such that different areas have different coverage.
it’s like trying to read an optician’s letter poster in a house made of glass of varying opacity.
Really good analogy.
