The thread discusses a user experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues exclusively on their Windows 10 PC, despite no problems on other devices and attempts to troubleshoot through changing channels and security settings. Contributors suggest potential interference, advising the user to use a wireless analyzer app to check signal strength and channels, and recommend renaming the router's radio bands for easier management.

So, I made a thread like this a while ago which was basically the same problem but I found a solution to it, which was a firmware upgrade on the router, but this time there is no firmware upgrade and I tried many things to try to solve it. Once again, this is only happening on my computer (Btw I am on wifi not ethernet) and not happening on any other computers, tablets, phones or anything else in my household. I already tried changing wireless channels and 2 and 3 seem the best but they still arent very great. I have also tried different security settings, and nothing seems to help. I don't want to pay for inSSIDer or any of those paid programs so I am trying to do this manually. I made a thread like this 2 days ago but now it is happening on windows 10 so I am posting this here. I thought windows 10 would post it but no.

When you troubleshoot, if you don't know what is wrong, you can take the route of eliminating other things to narrow down the possibilities. If you put your computer on a wired connection, you would establish the system is capable of preforming the way you want. You may have some malware running in the background causing problems or something else. I can't tell you how to put your system on your wired network, but you or a friend should know.

If the system runs OK on a wired connection, then you know for sure it involves your wireless connection or some component of it.

But once you find a place when the system operates as expected, you can then build back up to where it starts having problems, then you know what is wrong...

As long as they each have their own port you can have as many as you want using the ethernet.

You can have as many devices as your router has LAN ports.

If you want it fixed, stop putting up roadblocks. Disconnect the other system. You may have a situation where the two 5G radios are interfering or even duplicate IP addresses.

And information helps. One of my suggestions would have yielded the info below. One is for a 2.4 G connection and one for a 5 G connection.

An image from 'Windows 10 constant lag spikes (Happened on 8.1 too) (Not fps lag)'. Wi-Fi connected at 144 Mbps with no data vs connected at 650 Mbps with active data transfer.
