Hi, I'm new and I don't know if this question belongs to this thread or this site in general, I say sorry in advance.
So, I have an issue: I can't get a decent wifi performance even though I should have everything in the right place.
My flat looks like this (it's not accurate, but you should get an idea).
I am not an expert in wifi, but I downloaded an instrument to analyze the wifi signal I get in my room and the result is this. I keep reading EVERYWHERE that a SNR which is >30 is really good, and mine is around 34.
STILL, in my room, the wifi is anything but good (even though my connection is stable at 10+ mbps):
sometimes it just stops working,
Netflix keeps stuttering every 5 minutes/the quality drops to 144p (same thing for YouTube),
it takes an eternity to load the router wizard (both in the old TP-Link I had, and in this new Netgear - which is really strange).
it takes an eternity to load websites in general.
For these reasons I tried and bought an extender, but, as you can see, the situation on the SNR level is not changed (tho the disconnections are fewer now - but Netflix and YouTube still don't work properly).
Having no knowledge whatsoever about this stuff, I am now completely discouraged and desperate, because I can't seem to find a solution, or even understand the cause!
Is it normal that the wifi strength is so low even after few meters? There's nothing blocking the way...
If the SNR is good, why I keep having a shitty wifi? (keep in mind that the moment I get closer to the router, everything starts working perfectly fine, 1080p and quick in loading.)
In my home we have a single router (FritzBox 3390) which covers THE ENTIRE HOUSE! (3 storey, much more than 3 obscenity removedblocks of concrete).
Could you guys please help me? I don't know what to do.
If you need any more details, I'm more than willing to give them to you.
