Re: Horrible signal to noise ratio
Attempted to move my router all around my apartment and unfortunately the speed got progressively worse as I tried. So I put it back to where it was before and unfortunately now the speed is much slower than it was before I moved it! My signal to noise ratio on my primary signal is 0 dB! Obviously you can't get any worse than 0 dbfor signal to noise ratio!I also noticed that my band on my primary signal has now changed to be B66, wherethis afternoon it was B2. I don't know if that change was what made things worse. You had mentioned that I'm very close to the 5G. How wereyou able to determine that and is there anything I can do on my end besides moving my router?Does the secondary single even matter? The reason I'm asking is it seems I'm noteven using the secondary signal despite it being there so iseverything relying on the primary signal? It sure seems that way because I get the feeling the secondary single is not even being used. I wish there was someway I could get them to have the point at the secondary signal and make that the primary one.Re: Horrible signal to noise ratio
This is my set up. It's in a window that is as high as the ceiling. And that window is facing the tower. As much as I moved the router ever so slightly in that window it would either make no difference or wouldmake the connection worse. The window is blocked so no heat can come through. And there are two fans one on the bottom and one on the top of the router. It looks pretty ugly. I tried to make it nice and neat but that only madethe signalworse. I will definitely try your suggestion though. Although any other location in my apartment is going to be further away from the tower and closer to inside the apartment complex which will be closer tothe hallway.Re: Horrible signal to noise ratio
I really hope so my friend. Right now as you can see in the attached picture my router is up in a ceiling window that is facing the tower which is the next street over. I don't believe it's a 5G tower though. That is why I cannot understand the whole signal tonoise ratio problem. I've got two fans running one on top one of the bottom. I even have ablack out shield on the window so the sun doesn't hit it and it doesn't get hot up there.Itlooks pretty messy and butt ugly! But when I try to make it nice and neat thesignal was even worse. If I move around my apartment like you suggested I will be going away from any windows and goingmore towardsthe hallway of the apartment complex. This will be going in the opposite direction of the tower. But I will take your suggestion and give it a try.Horrible signal to noise ratio
So my signal to noise ratio is really terrible. So much in fact that my Internet speeds can be 1 to 5 Mbpsif lucky. Looking through my gateway settings as well as the app settings I see that the signal to noise ratio is not where it should be. This is causing the connection to drop or even the modem to rebooton its own. As you can see in the attached screenshots thesignal to noise ratio is really horrible on the primary signal as well as represented on the app but the signal to noise ratio on the secondary signal is actually quite good. Unfortunately that's not being reflected because I'm still getting a terrible connection as I had mentioned. I'm also getting a crazy thing happening where I'm getting locked out of my gateway page(192.168.12.1) but that might be a different problem. Is there any way for the secondary signal to kick over and stay basically making it my primary signal? and by the way this cannot be a heat issue since I have a fan underneath the modem and a fan on top of the modem.
