Okay so I saw my router box had a 5 ghz and a 2.4ghz setting was set to the lower ghz and thought if I can change it improve any performance and did a bit of re search. Then procceded to punch into google 192........ And it brought me to a menu typed in code on bottom of router & then followed some google example and disabled 2.4 and enabled 5 ghz (i did read that it might not work for some router or whatever) now the internet gone and 192....... No longer works when typed into Google so i can't get back to the page to enable 2.4 ghz again dick slap me for being a dumb ho

Plug your computer directly into your modem via Ethernet. Also make sure you're not too far away from the router if you're using WiFi as 5GHz doesn't go through walls all that well, and hence, lower range.

Yep. So 5GHz provides better data rates, but at the cost of shorter range.

Why not just factory reset router and set it up fresh? @Iamnotgod

Did you mean to replay the OP?

 

If you did mean to reply to me, that''s not going to work, I'm around 50 feet away and my house is made of concrete blocks, I live in Florida, the house is rated Category 5+

It's not a issue for me. 720p is top of what my phone does atm lol.

The router's web page, if you will, should be the IP address of the default gateway, assuming there's a connection to the router. To find this out, open up the command prompt and type in ipconfg /all, look for the adapter that's connected to the router, and then look for "Default gateway" entry.

Yes, sorry.

As for you, if you ever want to upgrade you could look at Power Line Networking, a pair of those and a hub or access point in the room you want would work well (so long as your electrical lines are not total garbage).
