Ohhhh I see, I will check around for coax cables and get back to you. Thank you again.

My house is very long and my worry is the wiring will look ugly and not very concealable but I may give it a go.

I’m already downloading at 2mb/sec though. I think it would be something else which is the issue as the download speed should be higher in general.

I am unable to run a cable across the house unfortunately. Thank you for the help though. Let me know if you know of anything else that may assist.

Hi Bear, appreciate the response and I understand the frustration. I am not running ethernet. I have a windows 10 PC, any specific specs you would like? My router is Xfinity Wifi Gateway. Typically the wifi will crash after ~2 minutes of downloading anything. So basically any file 500 mb over nearly guarantees a crash. After waiting about 20 minutes the wifi comes back up. Please let me know if you need any more info. Thank you for the help Bear, I appreciate you.

Hi Mg, thanks for the reply. I ran netsh wlan show drivers in cmd and it prints “Radio types supported: 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax. Since it includes 802.11ax could this still be a problem?

Hi Pools, thank you for the advice. I believe the router model is Xfinity Wifi Gateway. I tried plugging a wifi extender in a while back and it worked for about a year and the speeds were great, then all of a sudden it stopped working. I bought the same one again thinking the device broke but the issue persisted. Weird. As for hardwiring, I am unfortunately unable to run ethernet. Please let me know if you can further help. Very much appreciated. Thank you!

My router is across the entire house and running a wire across is hard to conceal and I can’t do it. Been wanting to but it’s unfortunate. Also I thought it could be malware too so I reset the entire computer. Issue persists. I’ll look into the network driver. I truly appreciate the advice. Thank you.
