    Some of the issues mentioned:
    - router getting overloaded with processes since it's basically a mini-computer managing data flow (caused by having too many devices connected to one router)
    - router forgetting/too busy to update to a new dynamic IP address assigned by the ISP after the previous one expires
    - router overheating due to bad ventilation / dust
    - network noise (too many devices like microwaves/baby monitors/other WiFi networks at 2.4 GHz basically "talking over" your router. Solve by changing router setting to a less commonly used channel instead of 2.4 GHz)
    - bad software => firmware update

      It's a Catch-22 ... without an internet connection, I can't download a graphics card for my router. Without a graphics card, my router can't render images of the correct RAMs I need to need to download into the modem. Without enough RAM storage in my modem, the resolution on my monitor is too blurry to verify that I've provided my cc# and CSV without error to the company flashing helpful hourly pop-up reminders to buy their PC Speed Boost package so my CPU can become fast enough to render 720p tutorials I rely on to help with installing the router's graphics card _in the first place!_ You just can't win, this is costing me upwards of $500/week just to keep my PC in tip-top shape for hardcore competitive Raid: Shadow Legends guild raids. From what I understand, the OUYA never had these problems and I kick myself every day for not getting in on the ground floor when it launched instead of shovelling paycheck after paycheck into this moneypit PC.

    So to add to what Linus was saying, if you have a 2.4 GHz WiFi signal, try switching between channels 1, 6 and 11 as these are the only non-overlapping channels (i.e. something that's disturbing channel 1 will almost definitely disturb channels 2 and 3 and might even disturb up to channel 6 if it's a different 2.4 GHz WiFi signal set to a nonsensical channel like 3).
    Also as Scotty said; you cannot change the laws of physics. If you absolutely need to do something online, ensure that you have a wired connection to your router or even modem (assuming you don't have a modem/router).

      How to disable QOS? And what does that do?

    • @tiaxanderson9725
      @tiaxanderson9725 Год назад

      @@Average3djoe To disable your router's QoS feature you'd best check the manual or search the manufacturer's website (sometimes ISPs offer modem/router combinations and put their own software on the modem/router, in that case check your ISPs website or your ISPs community website).
      As to what it does; QoS attempts to give 'importance' or priority to separate data streams and divvy up your available bitrate. For instance if you're watching Netflix at 1080p it'll use about 6000 kbps so by enabling QoS the router attempts to, at all times, have 6000 kbps of bandwidth available for your Netflix stream.
      This generally means that you'll always have enough to watch Netflix, but if your connection is particularly poor that day you might experience a bad connection on other data streams (say uploading a backup to a cloud server).
      In turn, disabling QoS will allow each stream to just claim as much data as it can saturate meaning that while you're running a back up; you can't watch Netflix.
      All of this does of course depend on how QoS is implemented, how far it is automatically setup, how much can be chosen from pre-made options in a menu, and how much you'll have to configure on your own. On top of the network availability to and from various services.

      most likely problem is just bad cabling either inside your household or outside at the "tap". Could be something simple as just a bad/old fitting on a cable or that fitting just not being tightly connected. Rebooting the modem helps temporarily because modems have this tendency that when they are booted fresh they connect to the signal well but over time if the signal is bad they will disconnect.
      If you have a single family house, then the aerial or underground cables often go bad and just need to be replaced. Especially the aerial once because they're constantly exposed to the elements
      Has little to do with "lots of people on the internet". Lots of people using the net might decrease your speed, but not significantly. If you're having constant disconnects its most likely either your modem, or the cabling
      If the ISP is refusing to send out a technician to check on the issue, try this: disconnect your modem from power, call your ISP, and tell them you have no internet but everything is connected. The ISP will think that somewhere the signal was cut or something or something was unplugged and they have to fix it asap. So they'll send out a technician. The technician, once at your residence, could care less what you spoke about on the phone with ISP. His only goal is to make sure everything will now be working. So he'll check the signal levels, your modem, etc, and try to fix the issue if he can or if there is one
      Sometimes there is a problem, and the ISP can see it, but they tell you there is no problem. Not sure why ISP's sometimes do this. Probably to save money because sending out a tech is pretty pricey. This is why you have to disconnect your equipment because then the ISP wont see a signal coming to it and therefore in this case they absolutely have to resolve it (you can plug it back in after they schedule for a tech to come)

Information doesn't pass through the air more awesomely just because whats coming into your home is fiber rather than copper.

      Well they aren't exactly in the same band, but microwaves "antennas " are 600 to 1200 watts while routers are well below this in most consumer applications. It makes perfect sense that "noise" from a microwave would make it difficult to impossible for the router/device to hear each other. Though microwaves are generally designed as "sound proof" boxes.

      SheMakeThatBackMove Internet speed is typically measured in Mbps (megabit per second) which is different from MBps(megabyte per second). Download speed is the most important unless you’re uploading a lot. 10-12 Mbps is enough for regular internet browsing. For gaming and video streaming more than 12Mbps is helpful. Over 20 Mbps helps get rid of that lag but YMMV. If there are multiple devices say 3-4 people gaming/video streaming then 50 Mbps or over would be better. For some ISPs they’ll give you a certain package of let’s say 45 Mbps however, your connection can vary and can actually reach up to 60 Mbps on occasion (at least that’s the case for me) but again YMMV.

    There is another reason why your losing internet connections, that hardly anyone knows about... If your losing connections randomly or a few seconds to hours at a time, and if your using a cable modem with a TV splitter to connect your modem or gateway. The splitter going to the cable modem is going bad or is bad. Replace it and reboot your modem and router and it should run much faster and your connections will be solid. You might have one of those TV Splitters outside when it comes into your home.

    Important clarification: you should only set you router to channel 1, 6, or 11. Choosing another channel may seem tempting if it looks empty, but in reality the bandwidth of each channel means that you and your neighbors will actually have worse performance due to overlap. So, the best course of action is to switch to whichever of 1, 6, or 11 is the least congested.

    Buying a quality router helps too. I've found that the old adage "you get what you pay for" is especially true with routers. The old router I had seemed to drop the connection almost daily, so when I replaced it I did some research and bought one that was a bit more expensive. I've had this router (an Asus) for around 5 years and I can count the number of dropped connections on one hand. I went from a dropped connection almost every day to maybe 1 a year.

      Consumer grade routers seem to be "for rent" equipment. You rent it for 3 to 5 y, the Wifi goes out first and in 2 y, the router doesn't turn on.
      Now, you throw that into the trash and rent another router.
