Posted: 24 Oct 2015 05:49 PM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20151024174923AAYb6Np Okay, so I ve been at my first year of college for a couple of months and I ve noticed something peculiar with the wi-fi. So whenever I am on the wifi, the internet is INCREDIBLY slow, and I don t mean a tad bit slow, it is so slow I can t get on Facebook or browse the web or anything. I left a Youtube video to load and it had not even loaded after I left it for 4 hours. The only reason I m able to even ask this question is because I m on the ethernet, but I d like to not always be tied down to an Ethernet port. It also says I have a five bar connection to the wifi. How I know it is not the internet itself is because I ve been in the same room with people and they can browse the web and do whatever on the wifi but I can t. Also, I m even able to browse the web 10X faster on my phone than my computer. And my computer is 2015 HP Pavilion (And yes I know HP doesn t make the best computer, but it should be able to browse the web!). /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: Internet slow as hell? Posted: 24 Oct 2015 04:27 PM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20151024162719AA43hKq Our internet today is running slow as hell, everything is taking ages to load, when I try to visit a website it takes a good 10-20 seconds to load and on youtube when I'm streaming the video is buffering even on 144p, before today the videos would never buffer for me, I have tried restarting the modem but the same problem persists, went to control panel and I noticed the speed of my Wifi network is 5.5 mbps, usually this is close to 100 mbps, what is wrong with my internet? There is no router, internet is directly from the modem which I have restarted several times, and still everything is slow, don't think there's any malfunctioning devices and no internet cap either /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: My iphone 5 can't update to the new ios 9.1 public beta 3?

If I were to have utorrent downloaded on a external hard drive, could I then use a different internet connection to download torrents? That way nothing is on my computer when I arrive back at home. Would that work, or am I just not understanding how it works? /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: My internet says that my battery is drained or something like that?

Posted: 24 Oct 2015 01:08 PM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20151024130818AAxJ3Tl Our laptops and cell phones will connect to the link sys wifi but we don t have internet access.

It works fine once we enter the above stuff. I can t figure out how to do this on my cell phone and I m using a LOT of data at home because of it. Is there anyway to completely fix this issue?

Posted: 24 Oct 2015 12:08 PM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20151024120804AADirf9 I am a college student living with 1 roommate in an apartment. We have TWC cable and Internet and a belkin $30 router. We ve lived here for a year and a half and have never been impressed with the quality of our wifi but it s been getting increasingly worse since we came in August. We are constantly having to restart the router and videos take hours to buffer. My roommate (who has a Lenovo laptop and some sort of android phone) seems to have less issues with the wifi than I do (I have a toshiba laptop and an iphone). Most days I can t seem to connect to the Internet on either of my devices if she s home. So my question is, would a better quality router fix this problem or is it another issue (i.e. My devices or the provider) that I need to address? /////////////////////////////////////////// Question: UK Computer can' t find my wi fi?

Posted: 24 Oct 2015 06:24 AM PDT https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20151024062417AAfy0R4 It was all working fine yesterday and then I woke up and every time I tried to connect to the wifi on my phone, it would disconnect and tell me it was unable to connect. So I clicked forget network and tried to enter the password again and it keeps saying "Incorrect Password" when it s right. I got my MacBook out and tried to see if it was affected too. It also kept telling me that the password is incorrect but it s right and I ve tried way too many times. I went downstairs and the computer is working with the Internet (not Apple, connected via Ethernet). I don t want to reset all network settings and lose other passwords. Also, when I click the information button at the side of a network, no information comes up. The IP address doesn t show and neither does the Router or DNS or Subnet Mask etc. What should I do?
