Why the decline?


Have you tried moving the wireless router to a different location, or a different longitude and/or latitude? Just raising the router up, plus or minus turning it on its axis, can resolve some signal issues.

The conditions attached and I wasn't convinced by the lack of logic. More a placebo. You know what we all think of firmware upgrades.

No, it performs extremely well when it is working and not at all when it isn't. That's why I think it is something external. I am in a see how it goes phase now.

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to just stick in a wire and be done with it ? :hu

I mean if it’s that finicky why all the bother, life to short to be messing with thing like that.

I’m not a Wi-Fi fan and never will be, it’s so simple to hard wire everything, I got seven USB hubs and ten printers on about 50 feet of cable all working in complete harmony.. :fl

Id personally just disable the 5ghz and use 2.4ghz if it is just the ipad you are using wirelessly. If that is the only device that has to be used wirelessly hardwire everything else and just sandbox the thing to 2.4ghz.

No, it is performing well at the moment, gives me a range of 50 feet plus on 5G wandering around in the garden with a facetime link or anywhere in the house or garage. Never had a router that performed as well as that. So see how it goes. It is just the initial auto connection that plays up from time to time.

Epson 3880. Canon Pro 9000,
There are some parallels between your modem performance and our signal performance here.
I now have a modem that I KNOW works, and delivers good speeds. Then out of the blue, change of weather, wind, or no wind after a gale, full moon, no moon.........OFF IT GOES..........AGAIN, slow as a wet week, or refuses to connect a tablet, or one of the computers.......
We just gave up. I hard wired everything as TheHat is suggesting, but I bought a compact mobile modem and use that for my tablet almost exclusively.
Comes a point its all too hard, technology just is not relyable, its signals are subject to toomany things we just have not found out about yet IMHO

My wife uses an IPad too and she sends anything she wants to print to the desktop computer, and I am darn quick about it too.. :hugs

Got any droids in there?
