On my phone my router can output 1080p videos no problem with all the people living in the house connected in an completely different room. In that same room my pc sometimes struggles to output 720p youtube videos without lag, barely does 400 kb/s while my phone can do over 1.5 Mb/s in the same room. Any solutions? I use an usb 3.0 antena.
#How do i improve my internet connection?

u mean a USB 3.0 WiFi dongle?
hushed charm
u mean a USB 3.0 WiFi dongle?
I think so
stable hemlock
if so, get a small usb extension cable, and put the wifi adapter on the end of it
and locate it better

Very Cheap one, 7 euros, i would suppose its causing problems

like 3 to 5 foot extension
there's probably too much shielding metal near it riht now
move laptop

Ethernet, getting closer to the router, checking drivers for your wifi card in your device, etc

My room is like 6-7 meters away, and the router is connected to the tv box we have ( that's what i think because we always had trouble reconnecting when unplugging the router, shutting it down without unplugging is fine but with is not)

If not and if you pay for it and nobody else uses it just put it in your room or in a cupboard

Ill do the bios when its sun outside, i really dont wanna brick the pc
edgy lantern
If you want to brick your PC download free Robux, ram and always use developmentental / experimental versions of your stuff thats not stable and still in beta
Updating bios every week ain't going to brick it unless youre doing something wrong
But if you brick your PC from a bios update you just don't deserve to use technology

dont touch the bios. its easy to ruin pc

Yea i agree, but the motherboard is kinda old, like supports 9th gen intel

Yea that's what im worried about

Updating it is completely harmless at most it'll make your hardware run unstavly but nothing brick worthy, messing around and tweaking stuff in the bios is for sure though

any i-series, even gen 1 is not old

Im not sure how smart it is to overclock a celeron in itself

I mean old CPUs have alot of overclocking headroom + they're piss easy to cool

i've seen ppl where it gets stuck halfway. or a poor update makes pc worse. updating firmare is the ABSOLULTE DEAD LAST RESORT imo

the metal of the computer might be shielding. like i said, buy a USB A male to USB A female extension cord (5 feet / 150 cm)
hushed charm
I think i could just upgrade the cpu to an 9th gen one that my motherboard supports but i planned to use ryzen for school i plan to go to, i don't like the "never discount" policy with intel
edgy lantern
That isn't going to do much for your internet honestly
So how are you currently connected to the internet?

What stunner said + even 4th gen is still usable nowadays even in somewhat heavy games

check in the system tray the wifi connection, it might show strength like a small bar graph. try before and AFTEr using an extension cord, or better WiFi dongle

Well i just wanna run youtube lagless, im watching all my other stuff on either my laptop or my phone, i just wanna have a decent connection that i can fix without having to constantly buy new stuff, atleast 720p lagless
stable hemlock
use this, do a before and after test
and note the bitrate AND the jitter
before = current location of pc
after = new location of pc, or with extension usb cord
hushed charm
Bruh ill just settle with a better dongle
stable hemlock
fine. u can still use the speed test site above to compare quality

that's not old. intel core solo is old
my intel haswell is old
