Internet connections problems

[denisio78]

Router is in the same room. When I am at other peoples places and want to use their wifi , it works fine with this laptop. My other laptop works fine with this wifi aswell.
So what the hell can this be..

See attachment on post#8 and look at all that ORANGE - - that's massive interference and will be very specific to the location where that snapshot was captured.

I thought this experience was so interesting, I created this post

(see the attached PDF)

I read it now couple of times and makes sense. But now I changed my channel to nr 3 and now there comes up that im in channel 3+7. Why the +7?
And still its jumping from -44 to -95 every 3 seconds...

 

[DelJo63]

Re +x; not certain myself, sorry.
re -44 to -95; obviously the reception is vacillating, but the root cause is difficult to say.
most likely (imo) are outside interference or the wifi router itself

 

[denisio78]

So whats the next step I should try?

 

[DelJo63]

I am afraid there is no solution in THIS location; there is just too much interference for 2.5ghz wifi.

Verify your pc and router can use the 5ghz and move to that band OR

opt for a wired connection. Sorry.

how do I verify this?

Per the spec sheet http://www.pace.com/documents/products/int/gateway/c2300.pdf
The router only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n - - you need 802.11 n/ac so this would need to be replaced

BUT WAIT;
What make PC is your Windows 8.1?

Sorry what do you mean with this?
What brand? Acer Aspire V7-581G

GREAT NEWS:
That box has the Atheros AR5BWB222 Wireless Network Adapter and it is DUAL band {2.4 & 5}ghz. This says you can replace the modem/router *IF* it is DUAL BAND also and that will allow you to abandon the 2.4ghz and move to the better 5ghz.

Tweaks for efficient TCP

login as admin
run regedit
find the key:

• HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
• find or create the subkey SackOpts (case sensitive)
  
• SackOpts: set DWORD to 1

Then look for/create the subkey Tcp1323Opts:

• set to DWORD to 3

These improve network traffic and ergo performance AND stability

 

[denisio78]

Damn this is difficult to understand. very much noob in this

 

[DelJo63]

THEN just punt and enjoy

 

[denisio78]

Punt?

 

[DelJo63]

Quit, give-up

 

[DelJo63]

Awe heck - - I can do better than that;
The two files will apply the SACKopts and Tcp1323 changes

1. save these two files on your Desktop
2. rename them both by removing the trailing .TXT; this leaves the file extensions as .REG
3. then right-click on each and -> runas admin (give the password)

Logoff and logon again.

 

[denisio78]

I TRIED NOW 5 TIMES TO DOWNLOAD THIS.
I click on the link and it takes me to a direct download of the file.
When I check my downloaded file it is a text document that when I try to rename it , it does not have the TXT ending just the REG ending.
When I try to run this, it will just open as a text document.

What am I doing wrong??

 

[DelJo63]

:giggle: common mistake - - you're using the procedure but
you have extension names hidden in the windows preferences.

perform the download to your Download\ folder
go to that folder
top left->Organize -> folder & search options
click the View tab

I suggest these be [x] enabled

• display full path in title
• (*) Show hidden files, folders & drives
• Show drive letters
• Launch folder in windows in separate process

clear [ ] hide extensions for known file types << this is the real issue

 

[denisio78]

Ok! everything applied and when it started we were straight away online!

Hope this now finally solves this. Thanks for your patience and help.

Lots of respect!

 

[denisio78]

Pfffffff and here we go again. Still no internet connection. Worked that once and thats it again.
Gonna call my provider and let them send someone here to sort this mess out and I am not paying. Tired of this s****!

 

[DelJo63]

When you have failures, go to CMD and

• ping 8.8.8.8
• ping google.com

good results imply issues with the browser,
bad timeouts / not found imply the network

 

[DelJo63]

Some basic info

• version of windows?
• anti-virus program?
• running as admin or limited user?
