Water DEFINITELY interferes with ALL forms of radiation. That's not debateable. The "amount" (whether appreciable or not) sure is. You'd need a mighty big fish tank right in the way I would imagine.



Sounds like he has concrete walls to me. That or he's living on the first floor of an old apartment

Is there not a wifi router that is good in high interference areas?

Doesn't matter, the interference is on the receiving end (your computer).

Running cables is the sensible choice, but if you run them too long you will need some sort of signal amplifier in-line.

Why would you upgrade from a 30Mbps modem, to 60Mbps... then settle for 30Mbps ?!

I have Ethernet cables running over the carpet to my room :p

A lot of young bucks would not think of this but if someone trips over those cables and hurts themselves they might sue you. This is particularly relevant if you have elderly visitors. If I must run cables accross the floor like that I secure them along their length with duct tape.

To be precise, the first part is hidden under the carpet near the wall, only the last section (the aisle leading to my room) is over the carpet. And no, I don't have many non-regular guests going to my room ;)
 
An option, if necessary.
Don't want to be stepping right on those cables. Not just a trip hazard, but it's the fastest way to break them down.

Merged around 4 of your threads... please get your thoughts together first to combine very similar subjects... Its best for everyone involved.

Thanks.
 
How does what PC equipment a forum member has, have to do with poor WiFi signals?

The thread now looks like a jumbled mess of multiple topics just thrown together randomly.
 
Don't mess with ma' threads brah. THey're seperate because they're seperate subjects. You're not helping me. Plus the forum is dead. More threads=better.

No, more threads is not better.

More QUALITY threads is better.
 
Three were not separate subjects... one was. That was my fault, as I said.

Because the forum is dead doesn't give you free reign to create many similar thread subjects as possible. Your wifi speed, and reception should have been in the same thread.
 
I know other forums I visit have a lull as well (TPU, OCN, [H]). As was discussed in some thread about this already... there simply isn't anything being released or out. X99 isn't for mainstream, the new Nvidia GPUs are gone for all intents and purposes... etc etc (see other thread that covers this in the forum feedback section).

EDIT: In fact, it was you that started that thread that has all the answers to the questions you just asked about forum traffic...:shrug: :screwy:

Linus forum is a little more...well... not niche like we are. They are pretty elementary. What we do, there isn't a lot of us.
