It sounds to me like Lew and his wife either have poor wireless adapters or they're on a shared frequency as their neighbors.

Log in to your router to see which channel you are broadcasting and if it's the same as neighbors, change the channel.

Also, connect to 5ghz whenever possible.
What is shared frequency?

Here's our modem.

We have Cox communications and as I said was able to get 100 mbps when connected with Ethernet cord but only rune 40-45 through wifi.


I might have to get my wife on this and let her post under my account as she's the tech one here. If you see posts about lewdog liking guys and telling you that I've been with men, please disregard these posts.
Once again, check the router's WiFi channel to make sure it isn't on the same channel as a neighbor.

Use 5g and check your wireless adapter, as it may not be current.

There are only a few channels in which WiFi is broadcast. If you and a neighbor are on the same channel, you may have speed and convectively issues.

Log into the router to check.

Both your modem and router are capable of considerably better wifi transfer rates than that.

It could be your device(s) hardware isn't capable of more than that. Or your router is configured incorrectly.

Not sure I am in the right spot but found a 802.11 USB Wireless LAN card window that I can select these options.

Adhoc support 802.11n (this is selected)
Country Region (2.4 GHz)
Mulimedia/gaming environment
Radio On/off
Roaming sensitivity


I might be in over my head here.

I'm lost. I don't know how to check any of that.


I am going to get my current wife on this task tomorrow.

2.4 is generally slower than 5ghz because of traffic, which leads to slower speeds due to congestion.

Lewdog's "current" wife and IT professional checking in. I've got us working on the 5g, however I'm stumped on where to find if we're running the same channel as neighbors. HALP!

Lewdogs "current boyfriend" saying hello.

Don't go to his pms please, they are private for a reason.

Log into your router using the IP address, which should be on the bottom of the unit.

Generally speaking, the User Name is Admin and the Password is Password.
