Windows 10: Why is my Wi-Fi signal strong with fast connection on my Mac Laptop, but very poor on my...

So I am very simple-minded when it comes to computers, so please explain in laymen's terms if need be. Clarification:The internet that I have is being used by many people so it was my first speculation that this was the issue, but having all devices that used my Wi-Fi other than my laptop turned off completely, the same situation occurred: Slow and poor internet speed/ connection on the windows computer, and the opposite on my apple laptop. For specifics, both devices are on the same floor as the gateway router, and approximately 24 ft away from it, so I am quite certain that it isn't a lo

Wireless headphones interfere with Wi-Fi signal on laptop

I have Medion MD 84299 wireless (not Bluetooth) headphones and they work totally fine.

The problem is that once I turn on the headphone’s base station, Wi-Fi signal on my laptop becomes poor and download speed goes from 70 mbps to 2 mbps.

Is there a way to fix this?

 

PC connection issue (Wi-Fi)

I have 2 PCs hooked up, both running Windows 10. My PC in the living room is connected directly to the cable modem and I am using a portable Wi-Fi adapter (Netgear Genie) for my PC in the bedroom. Everything was working fine until a few days ago when I lost my Wi-Fi signal in the bedroom. The Wi-Fi icon disappeared from the taskbar. So I thought it may be the adapter. So I moved the PC into the living room and connected it directly. Well....nothing. There is still no signal. The wi-fi in my house is still active because I'm able to use my cell phone and tablet. So...any suggestions? If what I wrote is unclear let me know. Thanks.

WI-FI signal low qulity on laptop

I have Lenovo Windows 10 laptop. Two weeks ago I started having problems with my Wi-Fi connection – the signal quality on my laptop is very low. It's ok when it's connected to my home Wi-Fi network and close to router, but if I move the laptop just
1 meter from the router, the signal gets so weak I cannot open any sites. Also, before I was able to see the whole list of available networks and now I can see only my own (sometimes other appear, but only for a short while). It’s same when I take the laptop
somewhere else. At work it barely connects to WI-FI. My phone (and everyone else’s ) can connect to the Wi-Fi at home and work.

Something happened but I don’t know what. Three days ago I updated Windows (update 2004) hoping it would solve it, but it worked normally for only about 10 minutes.

So far I have:

• Ran the troubleshooter – it cannot find anything wrong
• Ran Lenovo hardware scan – says everything is fine
• Disabled and enabled the device – doesn’t work
• Re-installed and updated the driver – doesn’t work/there is no update for the driver
• Changed power plan settings to maximum performance - doesn’t work
• Tried „ipconfig /release”, and “ipconfig /renew” in Command prompt. It says “no operation can be performed on Wireless Network Connection 2 while it has its media disconnected” and directly under that is says “no operation can be performed on Local
  Area Connection while it has its media disconnected”.
• Tried netsh winsock reset, netsh winsock reset catalog,
  netsh int ip reset reset.log and similar in Command prompt. – doesn't work.

The connection is so slow. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
