I have 100mb virgin broadband package, for a start, I have not once seen speeds like this on speedtest, even when I didn't have many problems with the ISP.
The house directly next door to where I used to live with my Dad (I'm 19 atm) became available, and my sister really wants to live here, but she is under a contract having recently moved in to another place, so I said I would live here so that she could move in later. I use my PC A LOT - and I use the internet A LOT. When the internet goes off, I get super bored and have nothing else to do, having recently finished college and looking for an apprenticeship. I bought a wifi extender because I am literally, as far away from the router as I could be in this house (the router is still next door for now), at first it was ok, understandably I have lower speeds but it worked fine and did so for 2 weeks. But this week, I've been getting about 4 disconnections per hour, random ping/packet loss spikes, going from around 30 ping to 5000 and 50-90% packet loss before either losing connection or returning to normal.
To clarify, this issue isn't because of the distance I am from the router, because my dad experienced the same disconnections. (What I mean by that is, I am still on my network, but there is "no internet".)
And again, this setup worked fine for 2 weeks and now has made doing anything other than browsing the internet undo-able or frustrating.
Ty in advance.
