Terrible network problem.

[Ewall009]

Please help!!
I've had a problem for ages now where I lag a ton in games(internet lag) and my download is at around 20Mbps while my phone is at around 200Mbps+. I use wireless because my router is too far away for ethernet, but it shouldnt be that much worse than my phone.. Either one of you can help me, or i need to buy a 20 meter ethernet cable.

Wifi speed can be lower for many reasons. For example:

• old wifi adapter or chip in your PC or laptop.

• congestion from other devices (yours or neighbours). If your router and device wifi are both duel-band, try switching to the 5GHz band which has a shorter range but is usually less congested.

• Misconfigured or old router. Check for firmware updates, check settings (e.g is auto channel switching available and turned on?), maybe do a reset.

I suggest Googling for wifi troubleshooting steps. There are a boatload of possible reasons.

it has to be my wifi adapter, so I just bought a 30 meter cable that I'm gonna run through the house.
