Hoping someone can help;
About a year ago got new fiber to the home internet with a Pace 5268ac. I now notice that the wireless performance is very strange. I'm hoping I can get some input as to where the problem lies.
It seems as though the connection completely drops for 10-30 seconds every few minutes. With buffered video it usually causes few problems, but when doing things like FaceTime, Skype, or calling via AT&T Wifi it causes the call to fail completely, it's maddening. Additionally, webpages sometimes hang loading completely.
I am wondering if buying new AP's (Ubiquiti) will solve this, or if there is something else wrong here than just the crappy wireless system in the all-in-one pace. Interestingly, I haven't run into any of these problems on my wired desktop, although I don't use it as much as my wireless devices. Possibly it's the router/ modem part? Further symptoms are listed below.
1. Calls from the bedroom furthest from, the router (Where I usually get 7-9mbps) cut out and drop every 5-10 mins.
2. Calls from the basement (Where I usually get 30-40mbps) drop every 20ish minutes)
3. Places in the house get seemingly random speeds. Example: On my deck I get between 2mbps and 60mbps randomly.
4. When browsing the web, sometimes sites will hang and take over a minute to start loading unless I disconnect and reconnect.
5. I pay for 100mbps, get 120 when right next to the router.
