I need some trouble shooting tips to help me figure out whats wrong. First of all this is a Toshiba P755-S5120 laptop Windows 7 64 bit
I have been having trouble with a weak wifi signal and poor connectivity. Here is a test I did: My back bedroom is about 3 rooms away from my router in the back of the house. In my room I have this laptop I'll call #1 and another laptop also I'll call #2
Both laptops used to get full bars/excellent signal strength, now #1 has 3 bars and fair strength and very poor speed and connectivity while #2 still has a great signal and does great on speedtest.net getting 45-50 Mbps download which is great.
If I run the speed test on #1 it is variable from 3-20 Mbps download and sometimes looses connectivity and won't even complete the test. The problem has been getting worse over time.
If I take my lappy next to the router it is much improved but still doesn't get the speeds that it should. I also tried plugging in a network cable directly into the router (no wifi) and it still is impaired.
Do I need a new wifi card in my lappy? Would this effect it also when it's plugged in with a network cable?
P.S. I have already reinstalled the correct driver for the wifi and that did nothing for it
