Try changing your wireless channel. Too many people (routers) on the same channel bogs it. All surrounding routers are on the same (default) channel, most likely channel 1, same as you. There are 11 channels.
Also; repeater. Then centralize the router. Your son is a wifi whore. Last edited by eDave; 06-14-2015 at 05:45 PM.. |

Wifi reception issues are a big pain to deal with unfortunately. Depending on the situation, a repeater could help in whatever room is in between the room where the router currently is and where his roommate can't get reception. If the roommate happens to be using a desktop computer, a powerline network could be effective as well and would completely work around the wifi issues. |

Those power line adapters work great. When I first read about them I thought it sounded like a stupid idea. But I've used them for several years and they work perfectly. It's an easy way to get a wired network connection to an area of your house with poor wifi reception.

how do they work? do they pick up the wireless signal from the modem or do you have to plug one into to wired network and then plug another into the room needing the wifi reception?
