What’s your first step when Wi-Fi becomes unstable?
I’ve experienced random drops and inconsistent speeds without clear error messages. Before replacing hardware, how do you usually narrow down the cause? I’d like to understand common troubleshooting ...
Some details might help.
- what router do you have?
- how big is your home?
- what are the interior walls made from?
- Do all devices have issues or just one?
- How often are the drops happening?
- Do they happen to wired devices or just wireless?
- if just wireless, 2.4ghz, 5ghz, or 6ghz more common
- What fixes the issue?
Do all devices have issues or just one?
If just some devices, it would be helpful to know which ones.
It also would be good to know if ipv6 is enabled in the router and/or enabled in the devices that have connection issues.
