Recent problems with my connection

Pages: (1/1)

Dodger:

I've been having problems with my connection from my new desktop location. It seems to be connected for like 10 minutes then go out for a minute. The signal strength here is on average 40-48%. I get 54 mbps (max possible speed) then it would go down to 48, 36, 24, 18,12,11,5.5,2,1(ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!1 mpbs!) then bam connection out (it lost network signal). I made sure my network was secure and it is on a static channel and the ssid is broadcasting. I can't move the router from its location but i can move the desktop to a new desk. Any ideas?

Wireless is unreliable like that. Try setting up a long Ethernet cable.

General Nick:

The 54mbps/48mbps/etc. is just showing how much the wireless connection can actually handle at maximum with the signal. It's in no way shape or form showing your actual speed unless you're going to 5 mbps.

You're better off with a really long ethernet cable.
