TheEther thanks for quick response.
1. when i wired computer to the modem the speed was wayyyy fast
i installed netgear wifi analytics app and tried to see the signal.. the dignal strength stays 4% and teeters between -50dbms and -60dbms.. i am in the same room as the modem router and chose the best channel it suggested
what do i need to do to make this better
Is the wired computer slow going through the router?
-50 dBm to -60 dBm is a decently good signal strength, but that's at odds with a reading of 4%. It's possible that there are other sources of radio noise that could be interfering with Wi-Fi. Baby monitors, 2.4 GHz cordless telephones, Bluetooth and microwave ovens for example. Can you switch to 5 GHz?
