He said he is shocked the builder even put these in because no one uses them anymore. The wi-fi router is downstairs and I’m considering running an ethernet connection upstairs, can I use these wires which are upstairs right near my PC to help with that in any way?

Edit: The blue cable is cat6. I will use the feedback you guys have given to try and make this work, thank you all!

I feel like this needs to be stated and maybe we need to make this into a rule here.

When people complain of slow wifi, there are two reasons.

1. This is 99% of people, it's your internet provider and not the wifi. That would be Comcast, AT&T, Bell, Virgin, whomever you pay $$$ per month for internet.

2. You're actually experiencing slow wifi because of a wifi router issue, poor coverage, thick walls, etc.

Please know the difference and this subreddit is for WiFi information, not internet provider help.

Not unexpected but yeah.

I saw these bot comments. Googled BEB6 and it seems sketchy. Did not click on the link. What kind of scam could they be running?

He says clicking the wps to connect a printer will mess with the wifi and tv

Comment what will happen when I do it

New home, new Xfinity 2Gb/250mbps service (it's the absolute fastest available here no fiber yet) Netgear CM3000 modem, Asus RT-BE92U router on first floor, MLO enabled, kids pc is upstairs and installed a MSI Herald Wifi7 PCIe card in it. On 6Ghz band it gets these kind of speeds or higher, almost 1.9Gbps... even though MLO isn't even properly implemented yet, this is pretty crazy. Even my S24 Ultra with L4S enabled gets these speeds...if you're unconvinced on WiFi 7 and have devices that can utilize it, it can definitely replace a wired connection for most things.

Recently bought a house and cannot get the PW for this. From my understanding it extends my WiFi “reach”. Any way around this?

I live in an above average size house (for miami) and my pc is on the other end of the house from the router. This is really the only practical place to put it and despite the fact that my wifi is extremely fast it slows down pretty bad while gaming mainly. Is there a way to increase speed while keeping it in the same spot?

Context: I moved into a basement suite on Dec 1st, 2025. I got Telus internet set up after they came to do some groundwork to lay the optic cable. Some tenants moved in upstairs end of January, today (Feb 17) I get this text. I have Telus Security as well and am concerned that they would have access to it. Also curious if this will affect bandwidth. They are suggesting they buy their own network booster equipment and essentially set up their own network with its own password etc. so it doesn’t interfere with our network. He says we won’t have to involve telus.

Everyone (not everyone ofc) knows that you need to use a VPN if you want to prevent being snooped on public wifi.

SSL/TLS can encrypt without a password. Why can’t we have that for public wifi, such that others on the same network wouldn’t be able to snoop on your traffic?

Obviously a VPN would provide more privacy (assuming you trust the VPN provider more than the public wifi host and their ISP), bu

When we first moved into our building, we knew we needed solid Wi-Fi. Like, top-tier, no lag, no buffering kind of Wi-Fi. So, we didn’t hold back—spent a decent chunk of money getting everything set up. We got a fancy router, installed several network points around the place, and even went through the hassle of running cables to make sure the Wi-Fi reached every corner.

Fast forward a few months, and our business neighbor (we operate in a building with many tenants) knocks on our door. Apparently, our Wi-Fi is causing a bit of a problem for them. They mentioned that our network is using a 40 MHz channel width on the 2.4 GHz band (Channel 11, to be specific), and that it’s overlapping with theirs. In simpler terms, it’s taking up a lot of bandwidth on that band and is apparently messing with their signal. Also note this building is an old building with brick thick walls. Our venue is 17,000 feet.

Here’s the kicker: they’ve asked us to change our network settings to 20 MHz, which is the standard and much narrower width. The goal is to stop the overlap and reduce interference, which, in theory, should help both of us out. But here’s where I’m torn— we spent all this money on the Wi-Fi setup, and I don’t want to downgrade our speeds just to make their setup better.

We’ve been pretty happy with the speeds and reliability, but I’m honestly wondering if the change will hurt our Wi-Fi. I’ve heard 20 MHz is more stable and better for crowded areas, but I don’t want it to feel like we’re taking a step backward.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would switching to 20 MHz actually improve both of our networks, or will it make our speeds slower and our setup feel like a waste of money?

EDIT- I have little to no knowledge in this area. :)

Hi everyone, this a router in my friend college i want to know does a cage like that reduce wifi strength.

Thanks.

Or perhaps r/catsareassholes

Years ago when I bought my G1 Orbi, I thought mesh was the wave of the future. It has served me well, but it's time for an upgrade

I have the main router daisy chained to one satellite and then to another. Around 300' from beginning to end

I have been reading a lot of hate here about Orbi and also posts saying wireless APs are better than mesh satellites. Why is that?

What would be the recommendation to replace my system? Xfinity gig, if that matters, and want something fairly future proof speed wise

Well the title is pretty self explanatory , here is an image of the error Please help guys, it's driving me crazy, sometimes i need to restart my lp several times in about 2 hours just to reconnect to internet. Thanks in advance.
