Why does my Wi-Fi connectivity worsen in the evening on my hand held devices only?
Between the hours of 5pm and 9pm, the Wi-Fi connectivity of my hand held devices is horrible while my laptops have no problem at all. My family and I don't do a whole lot other than stream music in the evening and have to either stream music from my laptop or switch to my cell network data on my phone. My wife's iPhone, my Android and my iPad all experience connection issues while I have no problem with laptops. Outside of this time frame there are no problems. I don't understand why I'm having connection issues on portable devices and no issues with laptops. I use Charter internet and a Netgear WNR3500v2 wireless router. I'm not a heavy internet user and generally only stream music.
There's a free app for your Android devices called Wi-Fi Analyzer. You might want to download and install it.
I suspect that there are nearby Wi-Fi installations, probably from your neighbors, and they start interfering during those hours and your laptops are better at dealing with it. Wi-Fi Analyzer will help you see what exactly is going on.
Probably due to being the peak hours. A lot
of internet providers really slow down during
the peak hours because there are so many
people using the internet.
- Will an iPhone 4 set off a hand held metal detector? I dropped my white iPhone in the snow today, and we couldn't find it after searching for hours. My friend suggested that we look for it with her hand held metal detector tomorrow. Will it set it off or is it not worth our time?
- Why would Apple make FaceTime only compatible with iOS devices? It doesn't make sense what if someone has an Android! Then FaceTime is useless to the person with the iPhone who wants to video chat with the person with the Android. Someone please tell me why Apple did this, I know it's a stupid question but its bugging me
- Why does my laptop keep losing Wi-Fi connectivity? My laptop, a Dell Insprion, keeps losing Wi-Fi connectivity, and keeps showing the Wi-Fi connection as 'limited'. Wi-Fi on other devices like my iPhone works fine, while the laptop has problems. I looked at the power settings too, as it is sometimes set to switch off Wi-Fi to conserve power, but it does it even when plugged in. Also, it had no problems when I used it with the Wi-Fi in US for the past month. I'm in India now.
- What is the best (affordable), camera to record Football that's held indoor? I first was going to use my iPhone 7 and transfer everything to "iMovie" that's already installed in my phone for a highlight tape, but i was considering getting an actual good camera like a canon or Sony. Any suggestions? MUST HAVE GOOD QUALITY FOR INDOOR
