Hello
I've been a student for about three years at my university and sometimes an issue comes up that me and my friends just don't understand. I'd like to add that we love playing online games from time to time, usually dota 2 on steam, and usually can play without lag. Sure the game might dc for a second after like a smooth connection time of two hours, but that is fine.
We live in hostels provided by our university and every hostels a four story building with three wireless routers per corridor, that is after every 15 steps or about 7 meters. One router between 6 rooms (3 after and 3 before).
Now what happens is that sometimes when me and my roomate start a game, one of us constantly loses connection while the other keeps playing smoothly. In that time we see that our laptops are actually connected to the wifi but we cant browse or anything. Sometimes it just happens for like 10 secs and then goes fine but other times we have to turn our wifi off then on quickly and that fixes it. And this at time just keeps on happening for one of us. Also, many times its fine for us but the guy sitting in the next room keeps disconnecting. Now when i say disconnecting, the wifi still shows that its connected but our game says connection lost and at that moment we cant even surf the web. Is there any explanation for this?
