    Question My PC is having connection issues, any advice?

    Hi everyone, I live in a flat with my brother and I struggle to get a consistent connection to our internet without trailing an ethernet cable through the entire flat. I have tried using a TP-Link powerline and I also use a PCI-E network adapter but both fail to sustain a good connection...

The devices in question: Two Firesticks, one desktop computer, and one laptop, all on a WIFI network connecting to Spectrum internet. I had no problems until… Just over two years ago, I...

    [SOLVED] Why is my WiFi suddenly working poorly on my computer?

    My WiFi is usually very fast on my computer, usually 80-100 Mbps. Occasionally it will drop heavily or cut out altogether, but that's to be expected and usually I'll just reset my router and it'll be fine. A few days ago the speed dipped again, but the usual solutions aren't working. I have...

    [SOLVED] How to get WIFI direct from Router ethernet port??? ( can it be done)

    Our internet provider sells service that claim higher speeds but then we find that is only for the ethernet. They don't even try to adjust the router for the wifi speed to work at capacity. They sell a plan that has 7M down and 0.5M up. We wanted to upgrade to the 20M down and 2M up and found...

    Question Internet sometimes cuts out for a few seconds / Wifi is extremely slow

    I just moved into a new place, and thankfully, the internet here is a lot better than it was in my parent's home. I usually get a consistent 90 Mbps download as well as 15-20 Mbps upload. The problem is, it just cuts out completely 3 or 4 seconds, sometimes longer. The frequency of this seems to...

    [SOLVED] Why is my 2.4GHz less than 10 mbps when 5GHz WiFi is faster?

    About a month ago, we were told to upgrade to the Xfinity XB6 Gateway from the XB3 model due to our decrease in speed and intermittent internet disconnection. As soon as we replaced it with the new XB6 Gateway, there was a sudden increase in speed and "less" intermittent disconnection. To cut...

    [SOLVED] Can I connect 2 routers together without lowering speeds?

    My internet setup is slightly weird. Our home is attached to our business that has a 90Mbps connection via modem. That modem leads to a router in the business and a router in our house. Since its split in 2, the connection gets cut to 45 at our router in the house. Both these routers are fairly...
