Hey everyone.

Long story short; I was having connectivity problems with my wifi signal. It was picking up very weak signals; I was barely able to load YouTube videos on the lowest quality, and my ping in games would average around 300-600, and even spiked up til 3,000+. Everybody else's wifi in the house (same channel) works perfectly.

This led me to believe the issue was my wireless card in my pc. I replaced my TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Wireless 450Mbps with the TP-LINK Archer T6E AC1300. Unfortunately, the problems still persisted and my connectivity problems persisted. Unfortunately I can't cable my PC directly into the ethernet as the modem is on a different floor.

It isn't the location (e.g. my bedroom), because my phone and laptop's internet work perfectly fine.

Apologies for the mess of the story, I just really don't know what else the issue could be past this point?

Thank you for any possible suggestions,

lauren :)
 
Solution
Try adjusting the antennas so they are parallel to the floor since the router is on another floor.
Another possibility is your case may be blocking the signal as well. Try turning it sideways.
