  1. Why is my WiFi so awful on my computer only?


    This is my computer for reference: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FFVHF2J?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share For the past year, my computer has been underperforming when playing games like Fortnite or Valorant and really overall when it comes to network speeds. For example, when I play either of those games, every minute or so during a game, I spike in ping from my usual ping of 30 or so to anywhere around 150-1000 and then back down to 30. As you can imagine, this is extremely annoying and barely playable. I have tried resetting my modem I am unable to use ethernet since it has to be connected to anot

  2. Recommendation for WiFi usb / card

    If you have a desktop computer I would STRONGLY suggest a PCIe adapter rather than a USB adapter if you go with WiFi 6. The only USB WiFi adapters that I have seen thus far use a Realtek chipset which is reported to have some serious flaws. In my own personal experience, I have tried 2 of these and returned both, getting performance worse than other WiFi 5 adapters and constant disconnects even 10 feet from my WiFi router. If you go with a USB adapter, I would suggest a quality WiFi 5 adapter. One more note: Should you decide to go with a WiFi 6 PCIe adapter, I would suggest a WiFi 6e model. They actually cost no more, and they are one step up just in case you ever go to a WiFi 6e router.

  3. WiFi bars are low on my computer but my other computer WiFi bars are high

    Since the devices are in the same location and one device is getting a low signal, we would like to further clarify the concern with the following questions below:

    • The computer that is getting a low signal, is it connecting using a external WiFi adapter or does it have a the WiFi built in?
    • If you are using a external WiFi adapter, have you attempted to plug the device in another port on your computer?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you attempted?

    Regards.

    Why is my WiFi so awful on my computer only?

    Is AWS connecting to the internet

    I have scanned my network on my Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro and I fin AWS is in the list after the scan. Is AWS a part of the Microsoft network, I know AWS has been working for Microsoft already. So is AWS capable of connecting to my windows. Yes I have
    allowed everything in Windows Experience. Is there a switching it off in firewall?
