Tbf this is the universes way of punishing you for using your computer and console on wifi
Oh to have possible cable access
Gotta make it happen it’s a huge improvement, even if that means running a big cable taped to the wall
you can get extra wide duct tape and make a channel in the corner of your ceiling and wall to run lots of cables as well
Powerline ethernet to the rescue!
My rule is if the device doesn’t move much (or at all), it should have a wired connection.
Basically my phone and my watch are the only devices in the house on WiFi.
Where is the red spot on the toilet?
I’m literally studying this for my next exam…
… this is a cry for help
Perhaps it would help if you studied the actual exam material instead?
Ahahah, I meant this as in “this subject”
You have an exam about why my neighbor’s WiFi connection is better than my own?
You can do a degree in anything these days
Oh cool, where can I get a degree in shitposting?
Your neighbor is on an older router that does 2.4ghz, lower frequencies penetrate walls better
That’s a rough approximation but yeah, pretty much
Wired + Mesh Wifi is the best combo. House not wired? Try powerline Ethernet. It does degrade the more you have so I only have it for my computer and PS5.
That’s what I have. My house is quite long, so I’m guessing my landlord ran a cable from the front wall in the lounge through to the office/bedroom at the back upstairs. As a result, we have two mesh nodes hardwired to the router, then a wireless one in the middle to just fill in any gaps. I’ve never had better wifi.
Sounds like you might have lead paint or thick cement in the walls.
I would just add another node using a powerline near your most popular spots. I would limit it to 2 max.
I wish I knew more about networking.
Today is the day to wish no longer

i mean this isn’t really a networking thing, it’s just waves being blocked or reflected such that different areas have different coverage.
it’s like trying to read an optician’s letter poster in a house made of glass of varying opacity.
It just goes to show ya that you don’t need your router when you’re stealing the neighbor’s wifi.
Based on this image, the router is unidirectional and is simply pointing the wrong way. This is why you shouldn’t use something like a Ubiquiti Nano as a router. :p
Don’t use the isp’s router/modem, it’s terrible in general.
This will seem counterintuitive, but if this is your actual layout, move your wireless AP to either where the bed is or where the xbox is, assuming there’s power and wiring in either spot for it.
It’s not, it’s just a stupid meme I stole from somewhere else.
Dude am typing this on my neighbors wifi XD. Btw they left the 5ghz band public so have been using it for the past 1 year or so. Lol its quite fast too!
I’ve been doing that for 6 years when I didn’t have internet connection. I was 8 when I got a first smart device, Android tablet. One of the first things I tried was connecting to Wi-Fi of all neighbors. 2 of them had the ultra-secure password “12345678”. I remember the first website I visited was Wikipedia.
However, I have tried to not spend too much data. I only watched videos in low quality (240p) and browsed the web. For downloading large files (which I considered anything above 50MB at the time) I’ve used public networks. Usually at the bus station or a nearby pub.
Sometime later I got access to even more Wi-Fi networks using the convenient “WPS WPA Tester” app. Like a third of all networks used one of the default PINs.
Why is the neighbor living in the Harry Potter closet?
