I am in a public building (ie. library) with wifi. I am trying to to pinpoint why a wifi signal keeps dropping...or find a why to work around it. My boss often uses the wifi and recently she has encountered problems with the wifi just dropping off and internet not loading.
I have determined that it is issues with the wifi signal, and not her computer that has caused the problem.
While surfing the internet on a laptop I also had Wifi Analyzer app open on my tablet. Dropped internet page loads coincided with signal drops on the WA app. I then noticed there were two different signals from the router (different MAC addresses) and found a link (Connect to Wi-Fi access point with specific MAC address) on how to get her computer to access the slightly slower but much more stable MAC address signal.
I also saw that there were other wifi signals nearby in the same range dropping in and out.
Besides having a dedicated landline....why other things can I do to help troubleshoot this issue? Anything else I can tweak? I'm an enduser and I know there are ton of variables on this problem.
THanks for your help! :)
