    this place still nuts lol

    Very quiet now mate. I tool a bit of a break after we won 55 cause it all felt a bit weird. Think a lot of people did the same.

    Superhub 3 by any chance. Our WiFi was always non existent with that router. That's why I ended up with the router I've got.  Didn't realise you were going over the roof so that rules it out.  Guess it's either drilling or powerline adapters unfortunately 

    Power line adapters are wank. Tried a few. Think our official line at work is to advise not to use them at all. I think it is the SH3. Complained to virgin loads of times but they don't want to know. Think they k ow we don't have any options.

    Can u no do what us normal people do and drill a hole through the outside wall, run it up the building then back inside the outside wall. Added bonus easy to hide wires.  

    It would have to go over the roof. The room I want it in is in on the opposite side of the house. Plus I've only ly got internal cat 6. Would only last a few years externally. It doesn't always bother me it's just some times the WiFi strength is non existent. It's apparently a known problem with virgin routers.

    You are indeed correct, however that kinda takes away from the whole fault finding that goes amateur enthusiast is all about. 

    Theirs a reason that myself an my 2 oldest boys can pin point faults in a pc very quickly and it's by using almost old skool techniques. 

    Fwiw I very much doubt that the likes of seasonic, super flower, evga, Corsair etc etc, the biggest PSU manufacturers in the world all throw in those testing clips because it's literally the easiest thing to test before u start ripping a full pc apart.

    Likewise imho best way to trouble shoot a pc is by removing the full mobo and using a piece of clean cardboard to troubleshoot.

     

    How did the poster get on with his pc?? @EatDolphins

    Still haven't properly looked into it. Was going to get a new WiFi card but never got round to it. Still thinking about running a cat 6 data extension but I can't be arsed and don't fancy drilling through 2 ceilings.

    Easy fix would be to use homeplugs.

    Basically allows you to run Ethernet via your powerlines, so no need to drill etc.

    No idea why your wifi is running so slow though? how is your WIFI connected to your PC? Built into motherboard, PCI-E card or USB dongle?

    It's built in mate. I've actually got a power line adapter in my daughters room about 6 feet away from the PC. Her room is a bit of a black spot. They don't work very well anyway. I was thinking of maybe buying a plug in dongle.

  6. Looking for a bit of insight. Got a new PC around 2 years ago from advise on here. I dint know why but WiFi speed is very slow. In the same room as a my PC my phone will get upto 120mbps. The PC will get an absolute max of 7meg. I've thought about making an ether net cable or data extension but that would involve drilling holes all over the house. The only thing I can think of is either there's data hungry programmes running in the back ground or the actual WiFi hardware is poor. Any advice? 

     

    Also drops completely quite a lot.
