Internet connection and speed problems.

[XYMan]

Hi there,

 

A few days ago I have changed my router's channel from 6 (which is the most common channel everybody in my apartment building uses) to 9 (just a random channel) and since then I noticed that every time I restart my computer I have to uninstall my uhm... internet receiver's drivers and re-install them (Qualcom something. It came with my Asus motherboard and I've just been using it ever since - for more than a year). Now I'm not sure if changing the router's channel made that problem occur but I thought to myself what did I do recently since this problem started to happen.

 

I tried changing it back to 1 and 6 and tried a bunch of them, that didn't help. And recently I've been noticing the actual speed has been degrading also.

 

The wifi on my phone works just fine like always so no problem there, I guess it's a problem from my computer itself, but I can't keep re-installing the drivers, I need a solution so I don't go crazy.

 

Did anyone experience this problem before? Would love some suggestions.

 

Thanks.

My uncle tried this before and his internet started disconnecting and stuff when he moved to a less commonly used channel. He tried ringing up the ISP but the service was unhelpful so he just reverted to the settings before he switched channels.
