Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 83GS:
WIFI speed drops down drastically at random times, even though other devices get good speeds and connections just fine (router is using WIFI 4 if that helps):
i have tried reseting the router, reinstalling drivers, restarting and reseting my laptop:
the issue started to appear after i began using another router (Livebox 5, WIFI 4):
i didn't install any new drivers or software:
unfortunately, i don't really know how to capture footage of it, since it's spontaneous:

are you using Vantage?

#

okay, so its not Network Boost

#

check if you need to update drivers for the wifi card

#

or you can try splitting SSIDs (to 2.4 and 5) if the router allows

#

why?

#

use 5G

#

its not a maybe, 5GHz band allows for higher speeds

#

dont connect all devices on one single SSID

#

it can get congested

modest jasper
#

ok, changed to the 5GHz band, will try to download something and see if it fails

#

also updated drivers, they we're a few months out of date

versed otter
#

how did you update drivers?

modest jasper

#

well aware of it

#

just wanted to know the process

modest jasper
#

might go have a look at the wifi cards manufacturers website to see if there are any newer drivers

versed otter
#

people usually go with driver booster and that breaks everything in the process

#

this is explained in #1020285176531669012 btw
