Actually op was told to provide us with the hardware info
Till he does that no one should be advising him.

I have skype and discord if you wish to discuss this further
No more spam till we have important information about hardware

hardware info can be important, but isn't going to solve the problem he is having unless his wireless in his machine is starting to fade, but he just bought a adapter so this isnt going to matter with his hardware, the hardware externally to the machine his MODEM/Router would be nice to know the age of them, if they are 3-5 years old, I would be all for buying new and having the ISP exchanging his old modem for his new. The router if its 3-5 years they burn out in AVERAGE around this time, so at this point I would tell him to buy a router. IF NONE of these apply I would start with exchanging the cables out and watching the modem, if it still continues replace the modem, then if it works after this don't buy a router, if it doesnt work buy a router.

If the cable was bad Internet as a whole would suffer not just a wireless signal.

Your correct there, I had issues with my cables and solved it by switching them out.

Ive also had issues were my internet became really sketchy, this was due to my modem burning out.
When my router went out, I have nothing, no wifi, no Ethernet... No internet.

Again I dont think you gents are catching what I'm trying to do, I'm saying make a simple cable exchange to test his cable/modem, to rule out both cable and modem being bad, then from there if it still causes issues then replace the router.

Go through all my post, every1 else is so side tracked, yet I'm the only one still trying to fix this persons issue. Nobody I mean nobody else in this thread has even gave him a remote effort in trying to resolve his issue witout spending money, yes tell me I'm the stupid one for not knowing my shit. Your right. I know nothing.

If he wants to add signal strength to his system, he would have to install a WAP or a antenna this is correct, but if you read this is happening with him sitting right next to his Router...... You guys are the ones who are way off topic and aren't trying to resolve his issues.


90% of the time Poor wifi speed is due to wifi channels being overpopulated. (Said this in my second post in this thread)

You're not the only one trying to help, If anything your 'help' is detrimental to the issue.

How are you "trying to resolve the issue without spending money" When you're telling him to buy a cat6 cable lol



He NEVER said it was happening when he was sitting next to his router... You need to learn how to read.

I go can on amazon and order a patch cable for 5-10bucks 5e or 6, they arent as spendy as buyin a new router.

Except there's multiple things to check before buying a cable. And no one in this entire thread has told him to get a new router, You're the only one telling him to buy something.
