Yes. Go to the properties of the wifi adapter in windows. Go to configure. Go to advanced. Go to preferred band. Select the 2.4GHZ band. That will make it less likely for you to lose your connection due to something being in between the router and your antenna.
I was stuck with this problem for the past week or so which affected my work .. it's like the universe has sent your video on my feed 😀 Thank you for making this video 🙏
Oh man this video came at a fantastic time, I am definitely going to check these out on my network after work today because I'm not getting the speeds I should be.
Regarding 2.4 vs 5GHz, I recommend using Band Steering rather than separate networks. That way, your devices can negotiate which frequency to use based on signal integrity. You get 1 SSID, and most modern devices will be able to intelligently switch what they use depending on the signal quality where they are at that time.
On upgrading the WiFi card in the laptop: some laptop manufacturers implement a whitelist of allowed devices, like Lenovo does with some of their laptop series (not sure which models are affected). It's not impossible, but it requires some serious tinkering for countering that particular measure
do you have further information about it ? I use lenovo laptop and i want to find out compatible devices or whitelist parts if possible ? If you have information can you share?
I'm a network technician with a degree in Networking. Here is a protip for those using wifi: WiFi Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping wifi channels on the 2.4GHz spectrum. Try to use those channels.
Hey man, i love watching your contents because they are so detailed, not just reading stuffs from spec list. I was wondering if you could make a video on how to clean laptop which is infested with mites and also how can we keep mites away from our laptop. Thank you. Keep up the good work
I also got a brand spanking new router just last week to replace an old PoS wifi 4 only router, what a helluva coincidence... I never thought my shit internet get stream 1440p but holy shit a new router works wonders
Stable internet is way better than shabby signal. I bought mesh wifi orbs that only let me extend the 2.5ghz network. My wifi router supports 5ghz and my ISP provides 250Mbps, but it's far away from my bedroom. With these orbs, I get a stable speed of about 80-90 Mbps in every room, which is much better than sudden disconnects.
Me with Ethernet, hm yes I can feel the speed. But seriously, if anyone who use laptop near a router I would highly suggest to buy a Ethernet cable, it's cheap and super effective. (Cat 5e or cat 6 depends on your network plan speed) u won't regret it, ping drops like hell, no more lags. I bought a 20m cable and drill a hole though my room lol but it was worth it.
Don't buy CAT 5. CAT 5 maxes out at 100Mbps. Buy either CAT 5e or CAT 6. I would go with CAT 6 at the very least nowdays. Try to get CAT 6a though. Trust me, as I have a degree in Networking.
I found that after I upgraded my WiFi card that I couldn't connect to my previously paired Bluetooth devices or unpair them. I had to put my old card back in, unpair every device, upgrade again and repair my devices to get them to work. I got much better Bluetooth and WiFi speeds after upgrading.
Most important thing is to get routers with SMQ and other anti-bufferbloat features to reduce stuttering and lag in latency sensitive apps like multiplayer games or voice over ip. Makes a world of difference familly and roomates can stream or torrent while you are gaming without you rubber banding ingame!
I never have and I work on carpet, but I have a high risk tolerance. I don't think antistatic wrist bands are required, but they can help reduce risk when working.
Hey Acer nitro 5 R5 5600h or i5 11300h,which one for gaming and working? . Little bit confusing because Amd doesn't feature thunderbolt,killerwifi etc. And don't know a long term review of ryzen laptops?Which would give us consistent performance. Intel or Ryzen?
Tip 11: find a (way to switch to a) new ISP. Sometimes the offerings are awful and in some cases it's straight up impossible to reach more reasonable speeds (the case of my friend).
Wow!! I didn't know we could do this. Thanks I bought the dell g5 se after consulting with you on twitter. 3 days after the purchase it showed a battery problem and a hinge problem. Now my question is that should I replace the entire laptop or just the faulty parts. I am aware that Dell may use refurbished parts as mentioned in the policy and I didn't buy a new laptip to get refurbished parts. Also I can't wait for 30 to 40 days for replacement as it will be a loss to me as a freelancer. They will not give any compensation for that. What should I do?
Step 11: Line the inside of a paper towel roll with aluminum foil and create a cone expanding outward at the opening. Stick this on the antenna of your choice. You now have a high-gain, mostly uni-directional antenna.
Yes. This is any device you connect with wifi. For something like a desktop computer, you might want to consider whether you can just use ethernet instead.
Hey man, which would you recommend me to buy a gl65 i7 10750h gtx 1650 or a legion 5P i5 10300h gtx 1650ti ? Prices are expensive in my country that i can even buy some better options in other nations, so please propose the best lap between 2. Thanks a lot.
How well does your new WiFi router work with your Gigabyte Aero 15 XC? Are you seeing any of the wifi issues reported by other users on RUclips and Reddit? I have a 2019 Gigabyte Aero OLED which had the same wifi issues, and I had to change my router to get the wifi to be stable. I'm thinking of upgrading to the Gigabyte Aero 15 XC but don't want to face the same old wifi issues (and faulty CPU fans) again.
Just requested a return on my new Asus Zephyrus G15 today because of wifi issues. Was a hardware issue (checked by the Asus technician) Will still be trying this though xD
Recently I experienced several problems connecting to gaming servers (EA, Blizzards ecc.). I First thought that could be a problem of my laptop but now I have begin to ask myself if this could be a problem of the router, since after restarting it the connection improves a lot. If anybody has a suggestion I will appreciate a lot, thank you
I have fiber optic router for the whole house and for no reason both ps5 and ps4 (along with my 11 pro max) work best with 5ghz band I dunno why but its been that way for almost a year after we changed to fiber optic
Its all fun and games till you get "Connected, No internet" Im not sure where youblive jarrod but are you able to provide your wifi service provider? Rn I have optimum but omg they suck and force so much extra hidden costs and I want to change. I live in nyc btw.
#6 isn't always a good idea. my XT8 had way worse performance with the latest firmwares. had to downgrade to an older more stable version. fuck that shit.
Yes. I have a 1000/50 NBN plan. The home network is 10 gigabit though, my PC, NAS, and switches are all on 10gbe, which is useful for video editing with large files and copying 2TB of games to every laptop I test.
3:05 that has to be LAN speeds right?! You can't possibly have gone for the 1000Mbps internet plans in AUSTRALIA right!? As a fellow Australian, I will be very jealous if those are internet speeds...
Do you have any extra Wi-Fi improvement tips?
Download WiFi 69
@@artursilva6189 never heard of it.
Update wifi card drivers, sometimes OEM put outdated ones and the performance drops.

Truth
Using WiFi Analyzer was a great suggestion. I changed my WiFi channel and my speeds are much better. Thank you, JT.
Great to hear!
That router looks like it’s searching for the one ring to rule them all.
Me : Dad I think we need this router....
Dad : We dont need this weird 4 legged UFO
I've used powerline adapters before, and they're very handy. But I haven't thought about that combined with Wi-Fi extenders, that sounds excellent.
Jarrod's first tutorial video !!
It's good to see your channel diversifying. 👍👍
Keep up the good work !!
Straight to the point ! Love you Jarrod
I found the WiFi Mesh to be Pretty
Useful Over Router & Extender.
It doesn't even have Antennas on

We will need a time stamp for this video.
Very helpful. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. I find wi-fi (6) mesh works great. Although expensive
Any tips for peoples who have 2MB connection? 🤔
Do we need to wear some static gloves and all while opening laptops? Or that static burning is a myth

I was hoping you'd make videos related to wifi.... 👍👍👍
Any chance you'll start reviewing wifi and modem devices?
Same as all of your video : awesome
Great information. Who knew. Who knew.
Nice shirt 🔥🔥🔥
Step 11: Line the inside of a paper towel roll with aluminum foil and create a cone expanding outward at the opening. Stick this on the antenna of your choice. You now have a high-gain, mostly uni-directional antenna.

Does this apply for PC aswell man? The router is about 12 metres away from my pc walls interfering to. Thanks
Yes. This is any device you connect with wifi. For something like a desktop computer, you might want to consider whether you can just use ethernet instead.
What a thumbnail! Video is good as well!
You can also have poor results if you have connected your router or access point with Cat5 cable since Cat5 is only rated 100mbps.
I have cat 6e between the router and the AP, and both have 10gbe ports, ethernet is not a limit here.
Man. The memory that you used to upgrade your legion 5 pro. Did you add it or switch it with old one? Please i need answer🙏🙏🙏
hi, i shouldn't be asking this question on these comments but is the asus g15 with a rtx 3050 and an amd ryzen 5 5600h good bc i wanna buy i lol
