I've had this gaming tower since Dec 2014, and since then it has treated me great. I moved once in that time and it was still working fine in my new place. I moved one last time, and now the internet on it seems to be completely screwed up... It'll connect, but it won't hold the connection long. Sometimes it can't find the proper wireless to connect to..

Screenie shows how sporadic the wifi can get.

All my drivers are up to date, so I'm kind of lost as to what the problem could be!

Thanks!

How i fixed mine, well to start off my router was in the basement, my pc is in my room all the way upstairs, I fixed this by getting a network extender for 200$ (There's some that are way way cheaper) It brought me from 500 kb/s to 7 mbp/s
Where is your router and where is your pc located? if they're farther away try getting a usb network adapter if your pc doesnt have a network card, or you can get a network extender. If those dont work your router could be using to much space and you might have to take a few of your devices off the internet to see if that helps.
 
I had this very problem for a while in my old place, the router was in another room and signal was all over the place, ended up getting a powerline setup since there was no other cable line where my PC was. Walls and appliances (most especially the microwave) can disrupt wifi signal, if possible you could get an extender but that increases latency if you play games.

Also ensure your router is set to 20/40Hz, that extends the 2.4GHz range further.
