Hello! We live in an apartment building, and we are already exhausted with the Internet, at home we usually use 1 or 2 laptops or 2 phones, have already changed 3 routers and the same problem is constantly the same. At first, the speed is normal (the provider promises 30-50Mb / s), but over time, the speed begins to gradually drop, pages even start to open with difficulty, the online speed check shows 2-6Mb / S, I sin on the fact that neighboring Wi-Fi is jammed our router, since it still works tolerably during the day, but hell begins in the evening, if you connect the cable to the laptop, the Internet works just fine, the channels have already been changed several times, I update the firmware constantly. I want to change to a 5Ghz router. Can you advise some powerful, not very expensive (within 6k) router or a solution to this problem, what kind of amplifier can you supply?
Answer
Hello. There are a lot of nuances in your question. For example, is the cable speed from the router normal in the evening? It's just that the speed can drop in the evenings due to the load on the provider's network.
Regarding the fact that the speed is low due to interference from neighboring networks. May be. Are there any new Wi-Fi networks in the evening? Are there many of them? It's strange that changing the Wi-Fi network channel does not affect the speed of the Wi-Fi Internet in any way. If possible, put the router in a different place.
On the choice of a router with Wi-Fi 5 GHz support, I wrote in the article the choice of a Wi-Fi router with 802.11ac (5 GHz). Inexpensive models. Also, your devices must support networks in the 5 GHz range, or they will connect at 2.4 GHz.
But I cannot guarantee that this will solve your low Wi-Fi speed problem.
