First, I did the standard reset of my modem/router combo then a reset of my computer. I uninstalled the usb adapter completely then reinstalled it. got to the point where I was sure what to do and decided to do a FULL windows 7 reboot and still after that NOTHING IS WORKING!!
After spending around 3 hours on the phone with my internet provider just to hear them tell me over and over that its me not them, the connection is fine you need better carp**!! uhg.. anyway, I have a very new computer, built it myself only 3 months ago… so its not that.
I started with a NETGEAR 1100 little crappy usb adapter. I then got a wifi extender to see if that worked.. it didnt. I then i upgrade to a netgear 3100. It worked for a while then completely stopped working. Then I got a very strong usb adapter called POWERLINK Hermes 1000mW High Power Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n.
I now get full bars…. when I am connected to the internet, which at one point was only for about 10 minutes at a time.
There is no doubting that i am far away from my router, it has to pass 2 walls and maybe 20 feet, I would say this is the reason why, but I cant, becaues for 2 YEARS I had perfect internet, no problems no nothing.
IThen I did something which at the times seemed to fix it completely… I put my wireless adapter up on my window where it could sit and instead of passing the 2 walls it has to pass through one, and a window. So for the remainder of the day I had perfect internet.. just 100%, then the next day it was bad again.
I have a modem router combo from my provider call https://qwest.centurylink.com/internethelp/modem-c1000a.html I have VDSL and 7.5/1.5
Now, This problem is only in my room, most wireless connection have trouble connecting down hear but only slightly. Not as bad as my pc.
Hopefully I provided enough info, if needed I will post more.
