Nostr Web Client

I'm the new apartment now... Still unpacking and rearranging things .

Desktop computer is connected via wifi (instead of Ethernet) because I prefer the location next to the window...and the Ethernet port is in a dark corner..... But the wifi keeps dropping ☹️

It's an old computer that only has 2.4ghz band...I set my router to only use 2.4 band and also changed windows settings to use 2.4...

Any other thoughts? Someone with the same model computer had same issue and said getting a new WiFi card fixed it.... Any thoughts 💬#asknostr

In the meantime, 60 minutes of yoga.

I am not sure how, I never had to do it, but lot of time it happens that frequencies are full so basically your neighbour can interfere with your signal. You can - somehow change the desired frequency of your wifi but I am affraid I can’t help with that.

can you run an ethernet line without crossing any doorways?

We found the top of a door frame a good place to secure a long ethernet cable. There are other creative ways to incorporate into wall decor. In an office with a drop ceiling, just run it through the ceiling.

I have been doing this for 9 years so I have experience running long Ethernet cables. 😂. It's in another room... About 20 feet to get to the door, then up and over and around the corner into the room with the computer (another 25 feet)

... That would be a pain and could be unsightly... If I owned the place I would do it

.. but don't want to tack it all in place if I end up moving again...

We painted abstract designs on the walls (broad lines and rectangles in earth tones) that incorporated cables stretched across the wall nicely.

Yea, lots of good wifi cards on Amazon or Newegg,makes a world of difference and should get you on 5ghz

Assuming your PC has USB, you can get an inexpensive USB wifi dongle, just check the specs. Not all support 5g or better.

That was actually the recommended solution (not a WiFi card) because it's a. All in one Dell Desktop and supposedly it's an ordeal to get the back cover off....
