Obviously dealing with internet :(
Way too many APs near me, I have Comcast as my ISP and constant drops/disconnects due to wifi interference.

Anything I can do to mitigate the issue? Thinking a router / wifi card upgrade is necessary but I don't don't think "throwing money at it" will solve the issue.

Looking to you pros for some advise - currently hardwired ofc. I prefer wireless so that I can get steam link and give that a go ;)

play around with the channel your wifi connects to.

log into your router and change the channel

Grab a wifi scanner app on your phone, Figure out what channels people are on & try to find a good channel to change to.


Another option, Is increase your power output so much.. That they cant interfere with your wifi :P

Use power over Ethernet for any computers

For Wi-Fi only devices scan and see what channel everyone else is on and pick and empty or low use channel
