Wifi Crashing
Blocked/Unknown Phone Calls
Now My TIRES!

In response Serah Oceane ♡ to her Publication

Tire, maybe a plug - can take a pic If you need an opinion. WifI - Can happen - I troubleshoot (and modify routers). For the basics feel free to ask me a few questions - I would bet a few things (may be old, may need an update, most likely there is another nearby router using the same channel). 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, both frequencies?

I have someone coming out tomarrow for the tire, just had to alter dinner plans no big deal just having delivery tonight instead.

Tell me more about the router, I started having this issue only recently this week and last. Connection bottoms out anywhere from 10 min to an hour. I reset and/or unplug everytime.

It sounds like there are conflicting signals. I guess my first question - do you know how to access the settings on your router? (most are 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). Under the wifi settings you will have seperate tabs for your 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless. For 2.4Ghz you can really only run 3 channels (3, 6 and 11) - 5Ghz there are more channels, it is faster, the distances are shorter than 2.4Ghz transmission signal. In those settings some routers can tell you the channels used near by, There is also an applicaiton for phones (Android has Wifi Analyzer)which will tell you the nearby signals. I recomend finding out what signals are near by (if any - ie an apartment or condo the channels will be flodded with noise - in the woods it will be quiet - NO I DO NOT WANT YOUR INFORMATION PLEAE DONT POST SPECIFICS - I am sure you would not, but worth to mention. Anyway - try to choose a channel that is open. Out of space to type, so ... stopping here

I live out in the woods, no one close enough to interfere with signal, so what would create interference/connections issues then?

I would still check a wifi analyzer (please do not post your specific channels you are using). Find the strongest, test 2.4 and the 5Ghz. If you have a second device - does that reset also (phone, laptop, Game console, etc...)
