Unstable wifi

[dst6se]

Hi !

Is there anyone else how has problem with the wifi card !

When I do a ping I lost a couple of pings every 10 second , and if i try to do a filecopy or somthing else over the net, the communication got interupted and I lost a lot of pings.

I have tried to flash the latest 20151215 image, but still the same problem.

Found another driver from novemer instead of may , and then the wifi got a little bit more stable , but its still slow and I lost a couple of pings, with that driver I got a lot of bluescreens.

I Also tried to connect to another access point , and its alot more stable !

Im using a cisco AP2700i, I have a lot more devices on the same net with no problems .

 

Some tips ? , or may I have a defect hardware .

Is the nic integrated on the motherboard , or is it possible to change the nic ?

 

Thanks Danne

I don’t recall having any issues with mine and my airport extreme router.  I’ll do a double check tonight.

It seems to be interference between wifi and bluetooth , if i turn of bluetooth everything seems to be find , if i turn on bluetooth and only the keyboard I only lost some ping , when i start the mouse , i lost a lot of pings !

I’ve read about similar problems in laptops (good ones too)…it’s usual and not limited to “cheap” devices, but there may be factors that make it worse, like the particular chip, or environment (too many wifi routers from the neighborhood transmitting at similar frequencies and channels) or even power management settings (for both the router and the device).

You may have to experiment a little to find a working compromise.

Yes , but in this device you have a budget realtek chip that there seems to be a lot problem with interference, I found a lot of problem on the net with that wifi/bt card !

It is a known issue with these “cheap” devices. Many android TV boxes are the same. You can run one device and wifi, perfect…..3 BT devices and wifi……nothing really works like you would expect.

Honestly though, I had a lenovo laptop with a cheap Realtec combo chip and never had any issue, I upgraded to an Intel solution and problems never stopped since, with the smallest interference causing disconnection.
