My wifi router is on the 1st floor of my home. My Pc is on the second floor right above it, as well as another pc that was moved closer to range so we can play together.
We played the game fine, no lag, no slow downs, no nothings. The next day I was playing CSGO with great connection. Then when the second Pc was unplugged, moved to a different room, then back, it all went to hell. Now neither Pc's can connect but all phones can.
The next day still no change, so I tried using a USB extender for my wifi adapter to try different spots. Nothing
I've reset my router, tried different wifi adapters, and disconnected everything and still can't connect to Internet.
My ps4 also cuts out of wifi every 10 minutes
Please help, I think it is a problem with range but it's so confusing to me as I don't deal with networking problems much

Yeah if your only receiving 1 bar that's pretty bad reception. Try a more beefy router and then if you have to your could try a range extender.....

How many bars of reception are you getting? Range extenders in my experience have always caused me more issues. Since you are literally above your router you signal should be fine. Maybe you have a bad router? I would personally give each PC a static IP and see if that fixes the problem. If not go to Walmart get yourself a router. Try it out. If it fixes he issue great! If not return the router and look into other options.
