Need help with my pc internet connection.

Big_Z_WSM

Recently i upgraded my internet, i also got a new router. My phone and my laptop connect to the new network just fine, they get 5 bars and fast. Everything is cool except my pc, my pc only gets 2 bars and slow as hell, sometimes it has internet sometimes not... Its very weird, all the devices are fine except my pc.

At first i thought it was the network adapter fault, so i plugged in a different one, and i still got 2 bars and slow internet. Please help me. is there anything i can do in the settings somewhere?

If you mean that you're connecting your PC wirelessly, I don't want to help you.

Cable is like $5 and guarantees a stable connection man.

You can purchase fairly lengthy CAT5 cables.

Make sure the router is in a decent spot, not too low and not to high.

Make sure there's no interference (certain things in walls or metals will interfere with signal, although uncommon, still plausible).

Try disconnecting other devices and then connecting your PC and see if you get a stronger signal/highers speeds.

Really, you're going to need a CAT5 cable to get desired speeds, wireless just isn't that great. They aren't pricy and again, they come in all sizes, so I'm sure you can order one that fits the bill.

Some networks have separate networks for mobile devices and PCs (laptops, desktops etc.). You can look into these settings by going to your router login and looking at the admin settings. Your channel may have high traffic, or your PC connection network may not be allowed to exceed certain parameters until you change it. Also make sure that your router is capable of handling the new speeds, as not all of them can.

I don't own a college degree in all of this, so some of the stuff here may not be entirely accurate, but I put what I felt I know. LobsterMts will probably know more on this subject.

If all else fails contact your ISP.
