Here are my symptoms, what is the likely cause(s)? Windows 7, globe ISP, globe supplied router. I do not have a direct line of sight to router, but am using a super powerful half parabola antenna that the adapter says is getting a 80-90% signal strength and quality. Alfa radio with
10Dbi antenna, so I am getting the signal bounced off a wall or not directly in line of sight.Frequent adapter d/c from router requiring restart of adapter driver (disconnect usb and reconnect). connection frequently restored after reconnect.
Ping times sometimes good other time crawl to unusable connection or no connection. No discernable reason. Like from 63 ms, to 300 ms or lost packet.
Occasional ping replies of: (paraphrased) your assigned ip not reachable OR general failure
Occasional blue screens of death (win7), requiring reboot.
restarting router is of no help, shared connection and don't have router reset capability, since don't have password to router.
I am sharing router with one or two other users, one of whom is a gamer and keeps changing the position of the router antenna to get better connection for HIM, but no good for ME.
I dont think this guy is smart enough to set the router to limit my mac address speed, but I could be wrong.
ALso was blocked from using a proxy checker that pings proxy ips and got no replies, then suddenly it is working again for no reason.
I get the feeling someone, either another user or the ISP is screwing with my wifi connection.
I pay for this connection but I am not the primary account holder.
Any help appreciated. Is Jeff still around? Thanks.
