Hey all,
I'm at ropes end and really need some help/insight.
Built a new tower few months back and it's been running like a dream. Over the last week my wifi connection has gone for a crap. The modem is upstairs but directly above me, only 5 feet away separated only by the floor. Up to this point I was using a D-Link DWA-130 usb adapter and the connection was reasonable. I was still getting an average of 18ms, 75mbs DL and virtually no packet loss. All of a sudden over this week my ping rate has been shooting up to 500+ms and a packet loss of 700-1000+.
Thinking it may be my hardware I purchased an Asus USB-AC56R wireless adapter. After 4-5 minutes ... same deal ...
The biggest issue is it only seems to happen to this one device. Phones, laptop, ipad, xbox1 ... all fine and no issues. I can shut down my PC and do a restart. Once connected I have no issues whatsoever, perfect ping DL speed and almost 0 packet loss. You can almost time it once connected, 3-4 1/2 minutes after connected .. the issue starts up again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks guys
