![]() Almost all offices these days have IT people on staff, maybe one of them can give you some advice. Ask around work and/or whatever people you hang out with to see if any of them or knowledgeable enough in home networks to take a look at your setup and see what might be the best solution. Mesh router systems are probably a better solution than the router he has now, but they tend to be expensive, and it still might not resolve the issue.īefore spending a lot of money on a new router, I would find someone to test out your landlord's internet service to find out if it is robust enough to even supply you with the levels you need. So just be aware that upgrading the router to Wi-Fi 6 from 5 may or may not resolve your issue. Even the Sun can cause major interference, not to mention cellular towers, overland electrical lines, other neighborhood houses. Plus a lot of interference comes from outside the house as well. Every time someone moves around in the house, or whenever one device transmits, or when someone runs an appliance, et cetera there can be interference. It might work well one minute, then not at all the next. You can move the router around a bit, or you can move the ATV 4K around a bit and hope the signal gets better, but it is like trying to tune in TV stations with a rabbit ears antenna inside of a house. So with all that interference, it will be hit and miss to get the Wi-Fi signals to work effeciently. Trying to deal with all the radio signals bouncing around the average home these days is a royal PITA. ![]() I'm an Extra Class amateur radio operator (highest available license). Because Wi-Fi is using 2G and/or 5G radio frequencies to communicate, all those other signals bouncing around the house can have an effect on them. Walls, floors, ceilings, insulation, household items (especially metal ones) can all interfere with radio wave propagation. The household wiring system also creates interference. Darn nearly every modern electronic device these days uses BT and/or Wi-Fi to communicate, and they all create electrical signals which can interfere with radio waves. ![]() If using Wi-Fi then they can be a huge issue. If using ethernet, or the solution I suggested in the past, then distance and terrain is not an issue. I still think your issue is most likely the location of your ATV 4K in relation to your landlord's router.
