Any walls in between the place you work with your WiFi device and the router?

router is in my room and mt parents laptops are located elsewhere, so yes.

Try the wifi when sitting next to the router and no other devices are wirelessly connected to it. Then introduce interference and walls.

When in doubt, re-format.

It may be the problem.

 

Try to use the device near the router and check the speeds.

If they are good, then it's your walls blocking the signals and speed.

I try to use my phone directly next to the router and it's kinda weird, my phone is a LG G2 , it connects then disconnects

Also check your Wifi-surrounding, maybe your access point is on the same channel as a lot of your neighbours are. That will slow down your wi-fi and decrease the range.

Try a Wifi-Analyzer app for your smartphone maybe, that should give you some information about that stuff...
