While I'm playing video games on my PC, once in a while my Wi‑Fi will seem to stress out, and then I will lose connection to my Wi‑Fi on my computer. But when I go back into my Wi‑Fi settings, I can't view any nearby Wi‑Fis, and it only fixes when I reset my entire PC. I have updated the drivers and it only happens to my pc

Has been working fine the last 1.5 years. Now has sudden disconnects. It is still connected to the wifi router bit it says wifi not available, when it works fine on my phone which is next to the PC.

How

A new device popped up on my network.
2.4 GHz, named Linux 2.6.x
I don't have new devices... Definitely nothing Linux based that hooked itself up...
How can I locate it to turn it off? Or put a camera so I can report this odd crap.

How worried should I be?
What do I need to do?
I don't do crime, so I'm not sure what crimes might be possible.

Thanks for your help!

Buenas alguien sabe si realmente existe el wifi de 1000 megas, para contratarlo

Hi everyone, I have two TP-Link Deco X50 units and a 1000 Mbps internet connection at home. However, the Decos are capping my speed at 100 Mbps, and I haven't been able to get anything higher no matter what I try.
I've tested the Ethernet cables, and there is no issue there. The setup is also correct. When I connect directly to my main modem's Wi-Fi, I can easily get 700-800 Mbps. The problem is definitely with the Decos, but I just can't figure it out.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have very bad WI-FI signal in my room, probably because my router is very far away. I got one Range Extender but its still pretty far away from my room and the connection is soooo bad. So i was wondering if getting one to put directly in my room will make my connection better, or would it be the same?

I recently installed a 900 Mbps connection, but I’m only getting between 300 Mbps and 400 Mbps. However, my son’s laptop does get the full bandwidth; his laptop has an Intel AX200.NGWG.NV Wi-Fi 6E network card.

I’d like to know if it’s possible to upgrade to that network card or a better one. What brand or model should I buy?

My computer is an Acer Nitro AN515-43 with a Ryzen 7 3550H processor.

I'm trying to connect myPS5 and my PC on the same home network. We have two networks, and I set up my PS5 differently from my PC. Both my PC and PS5 work excellently, but if I try to switch them, they won't work.

My PS5 is hooked to xyz, and my PC is hooked to ab. I'm trying to get my PS5 to connect to abc, but it says the connection failed. But when I try to connect my PC to xyz, it'll connect and work for 30 seconds and automatically switch back to abc. Can someone help, please? I'll provide more details if needed.

it just seems odd how both netyworks work fine but dont work when switched.

Hi all. I’ve recently built a custom entertainment unit in our lounge room and I need to connect a TV box via Ethernet cable inside a closed cupboard. I also need that device to double as a wifi booster or mesh system for better signal in the house but would like to keep it in the enclosed wooden space.

The biggest problem is that our modem is stuck at the front of our house in the garage due to the internet connection being unable to move so I need that wifi booster/mesh setup in the lounge to have an Ethernet input for the TV box without being wired to the modem.

Is there anything on the market that will work well in an enclosed space (approx 2m wide and 600mm deep) that will function as a wifi booster/mesh that also has Ethernet ports all the while not being directly wired into the modem?

I hope all that makes sense! Any advice is much appreciated.

I run a hotspot at home using Unifi cloud gateway, so the problem is with my voucher speed limits, on the 2.4ghz band my voucher speed limits are working perfectly, but my 5ghz clients are enjoying more than the prescribed speeds, say my voucher speed limit is 10Mbps, a 5ghz client can get upto 50Mbps , how do I fix this

So this is my literal first time getting into ROM stuff and I have successfully downloaded CRDroid v6.21 Android 10 on my Galaxy j7 2016 j710F, however, I can't seem to fix wifi problem, it isn't even showing me nearby connections but then some other times it works, idrk what's happening with it so I ask some kind soul with experience to help me solve it and I'd appreciate it.

here the situation : I bought all the equipment for my upcoming office (NAS, Firewall, Switch and AP), now my office renovation is delayed by 2 months and, in the meantime, we need to move in a temporary office that has no Ethernet wiring, only Wifi.

The AP is a Unifi, the Firewall is OPNsense.

Is there a way to use the AP as "Wifi entry point", connect it to the WAN port of the firewall and have the LAN work as normal, the Internet connection being then through Wifi on the WAN side of the firewall.

If I can not do it with the Unifi AP, can I do it with an OpenWRT or Tomato router (I have those laying around as well).

Mon imprimante Canon, MB 2 1.50 était parfaitement connecté à mon réseau wi-fi Livebox S ça a marché pendant un an et puis à un moment donné sur l’imprimante c’est indiqué qu’il n’y a plus de wi-fi. L’imprimante n’est plus connecté au réseau elle est indiquée non connecté par l’ordinateur dans la liste des équipes connectés de la Livebox. L’imprimante n’est plus dans la liste. Que s’est-il passé pas grand-chose, je ne sais pas à un moment donné en allumant éteignant la Livebox ou en faisant une autre manip j’ai remarqué un message voulez-vous vous connecter à la fibre de secours oui ou non j’ai dit non, j’ai dû réinstaller mon imprimante, je n’ai jamais eu ce problème sur les Freebox le système de sauvegarde restauration de la Livebox c’est un bouton qu’on active, il était activé, il y a un an peut-être avant que j’installe l’imprimante donc si j’ai bien compris le système de sauvegarde une fois qu’on a fait tout une installation, il faut aller sur sauvegarde, restauration, faire désactiver réactiver et à ce moment-là un seul fichier unique et Sauvegarder il n’y a aucun aucune sauvegarde manuelle aucun fichier qu’on peut remettre manuellement c’est juste activer. Et puis c’est tout si vous pouvez m’aider avec ce problème, je comprends pas pourquoi c’est arrivé donc j’ai l’impression que ça va recommencer à nouveau.

Router is within arms reach, drivers and computer are up to date, Insperion 15 3520, everything else on the network including other computers work fine, tested on three other wifi networks and mobile hotspot. I'm out of ideas. Wifi kinda just... stopped working for this computer a few days ago and nothing I've done has been able to get it back. I'm sorry to ask, but does anyone have any ideas on what I could do, or is this computer just lost? Thanks.

ResNet keeps randomly disconnecting me from WiFi and I can’t figure out how to get it to, 1- reconnect consistently, and 2- stop disconnecting. And since it’s an Xbox it can’t use the the regular campus WiFi

Hello everyone!

For the past couple of months I've been facing the same issue over and over again and I am at my wit's end. Every couple days at best, and hours/minutes at worst, my Wi-Fi driver completely dies and malfunctions. I notice it when I am suddenly disconnected from the Wi-Fi and try to reconnect from the quick settings, but find the Wi-Fi option gone. I then open the Device Manager only to find my driver with a yellow caution icon, and one of 2 error codes every single time. Code 10 or Code 43.

A quick specification of my hardware and software parts:

ASUS TUF F15 (2022)
Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz driver/card currently at latest version 24.60.0.3 but has been facing the same issues for quite a few versions as well.

I have tried a multitude of different approaches to fix this:

- Deleting the driver and restarting the laptop

- deleting the driver and installing a newer version and restarting

- entering safemode with networking

- deleting all other wi-fi drivers from my machine to try to limit conflict.

- checking the event viewer.

- resetting network settings

- sfc /scannow

- DISM commands

- power plans.

- Not allowing windows to turn off this device

Every single one has failed. Sometimes it works for a few days and I'd think i finally fixed the problem, then it falls apart again, other times it doesnt even decide to work at all, or only for a few minutes.

Not only that, but sometimes my bluetooth, which isnt a single driver but insteand an entire category in my Device Manager, disappears as well and so i cant even use bluetooth anymore.

N.B: Ethernet works fine, I'm currently posting this using a wired connection.

Please if you have any idea why this happens I'd appreciate the help. Whether it may be Registry stuff, hardware problems, a specific setting, anything.

Thank you in advance!

My RG477M would detect my phone's hotspot fine, but every connection attempt got stuck at "Obtaining IP address" → "Connecting..." → then failed with "Network disconnected." This started randomly, no settings changed on either device, and it used to connect fine before.

Fix: Toggled Airplane Mode ON for 10 seconds on the phone (the one broadcasting the hotspot), then OFF, and reconnected the RG477M. Worked instantly.

Probably phone's hotspot radio stuck in a bad state.

I didn’t change anything, no setting on my phone or tablet nor my router settings. Suddenly my WiFi stoped working on my phone and tablet ONLY, my pc wa still connected and my parents phone were able to connect no problem but for me I didn’t even see the network show up in the list. What could have caused this? And how do I fix this? I’ve never had anything like that happen to me.

I recently moved into a new place by myself and my internet setup plan was to have my pc connect direct to my modem and forgo wifi entirely, letting my phone stay on mobile data. The computer part works fine. However, I get pretty much no cell service in my apartment, so it looks like I need *some* kind of wifi for it. I don't want to splurge on a high end router for literally just my phone. But I'm also a little worried about the <$30 things available at Walmart or online. I'm not worried about range or speed. My apartment is fairly small and I just want to watch a YouTube video every now and then on my phone. But I've had some bad experiences with cheap electronics just flat out not working or breaking in a matter of days.

My question is, would I be fine just using a dirt cheap router just for my phone? If not is there a more specific recommendation for what I could use

Edit to add the answer: My own setup is the problem here. Multiple people pointed out to me that I should *not* be plugging my computer directly into the modem. And that even if my Modem had a spare Ethernet port, my computer and router could not share. Not only is it a privacy concern, it also just will not work. I did not know this, and once I reconfigured my computer so it was plugged into the router and the router was plugged into the modem, the very old router I had got for free but discarded for not working no matter what I tried started working. So I guess the answer to my question is "Yes, but".

The Office is about 40 feet from my router with other rooms and electronics in between. We have a very good Wifi but the signal is weak in my office. What are my options to improve my signal without moving the router?

Ok guys, I have read the 'wiki' notes and can't find the answer, I know nothing at all about Wifi, and if this is too lame for your sub, I understand, whatever, just delete my post if needed, don't want to unset anyone.

With that said, here's my deal. I will temporarily be un-housed for about 3 months. I will need to be able to connect to the internet for about an hour or so each day to do some work stuff. I will be nomading it for this period of time, and so expect that my only practical option will be connecting by Wifi at public spots like coffee shops etc.

I have never used Wifi before, not even at home, never even had the internet on my mobile phone before, I don't live out of my phone like most people do. Whilst I have heard that there are risks with public Wifi, I don't know if there are any measures that I can take to fairly protect myself, or if that's just not a practical thing for an average person like me without techy skills etc.

I would just like to be able to walk into my local coffee shop etc, open my laptop and do some work for an hour or so. Is this a realistic expectation, and if so, what measures do I need to take to protect my info etc.

Any advice appreciated, thank you.

For probably about 2 or 3 months now my wifi has been very inconsistent and not working right. It'll randomly disconnect, be connected without internet, etc. Think is, I live with 2 other people and neither of them have this issue. I've tried restarting the router, motem... I have no idea what the problem is.
