That's not the router, at least I hope that's not the router. That's the cable modem
-
@dashrender yes, just a modem. But so much better than the comcrap one.

I gave William an ER-X and an unifi AP a while ago. Not sure if this is what he is using or not?
-
Lots of devices on wifi slow it down, too.

Also you could try changing the channel. On android they make wireless apps where you can analyze the wireless channels and then pick one that is by itself. That has some good results for people and its free/quick. Might be worth a shot. Something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en

@dashrender not using it. This is at her aprtment.
-
I know this was already said, but the Ubiquiti AP by itself might fix it. It has made a considerable difference in various places I have installed it.
-
@rojoloco Agreed!
-
@aaronstuder Yeah, this will work if you cannot run cables through the walls.

I visited someone's home tonight that had two Unifi APs, one at either side of the house. Though one half the house had horrible connections. Turns out the second AP had no power. Reset connections, tada! AP back online and wifi is awesome!
