Hi guys, I think I'm kinda stuck here (excuse my language).
[Moderator note: profanity removed. Family friendly forum.]
I am currently living in a private accommodation (studio flat) and we are all sharing the same wifi network (EE Broadband UK), I believe that there is around 8 people but I'm not sure to be exact.
The problem is, I get strong 5 bar signal but I'm getting terrible Wifi latency, the ping spikes up and down, sometimes its at 40 (which is a blessing) but at most of the times it is at 200 - 300 - 400.
And unfortunately, my landlord is somewhat of a funny guy because he wouldn't let me use a powerline adapater to connect to the router. (I was going to connect my powerline adapter to the router secretly but unfortunately the router is locked away in the staff room.)
On top of that, a guy living above me is using a wifi extender and from I've heard, an extender can sometimes mess up the wifi signals and connection even more.
So what do I do? If I had the choice, I would have happily set up my own Internet in my own room but I doubt the landlord would let me...
But I am thinking about buying a better/more expensive/stronger wifi adapter, but will it reduce the latency significantly? Or should I not bother?
(P.S. I'm currently using a 150Mbps Wireless N Nano USB Adapter
TL-WN725N, its a small thing but I still get 5 bars but I dont think it supports 5GHZ and neither does the router)
currently speed checked at Latency:155 / DOWNLOAD Mbps 3.16 / UPLOAD Mbps 0.66
