Hello everyone,

At my gfs house there is a network and 3 computers are using it, 2 laptops through wifi and one stationary pc through cable.
The problem is, on stationary pc internet works good or generally much much better than on laptops. Through wifi there are often problems to even access webpage, very high pings in online games etc.
Also, one of the laptops is about 5-7 meters from the router in straight line and it often gets 3-4 bars of signal. If anyone could help me resolve the problem, I would be very grateful.

EDIT: I have checked for overlapping channels in inSSIDer, it doesnt seem to be an issue, not many networks around, here you have screenshot: http:// the network is called: "Magiczne Internety"

It's possible, because your router quality isn't good enough, the router cant take too many device (High Traffic). I assume the internet are not stable when you use it to download in P2P server. The only solution is to buy new better router

According to my ISP, this is 20Mbit. Router is some no name, it says only IDU-100, it's provided by ISP, which is rather small, local company.

Definitely your router cant signal 20Mbit on wifi, but sure can transfer 20Mbit on Ethernet (Ethernet can take up to1Gbit).
The solution buy better router

The thing is, when today only one laptop was working, the other and the stationary pc were turned off, the internet through wifi was working flawlessly, as soon as the person using stationary turned it on and started it using as usual it all went to hell(internet was working fine on stationary). It seems like the router prioritises connection via ethernet, which is weird, is it even possible?
