internet woes

I currently live in an apartment so that means my cable connection was shared with everyone else in the building. I tried one of the 5G wireless connections and for the first months had near identical service.
Then I swapped to another 5G wireless router.(still hardwired to the computer, just wireless to the apt.) We live close to a Cell Tower so the signal was. ok.
Then it started degrading. I would have to click several times to get a link to activate. Often an error message would pop up saying no secure connection. Clicking the same link again zipped me right through.
So I spent some time with the router location and improved the signal strength from 3/5 bars to 4/5 bars. Since then, the missing connections, seem to have been cured. One click and I'm there....but CONNECTING to games has suddenly gotten difficult. It's like I have NO BARS... Odd
 
They need a computer forum, like the one I suggested for RD / OT :coffee:

So no FTTP ? bummer Dave.
My place has 26 units and NBN (500/40) is 90% + speed 24/7 using NordVPN through the router ( 100% without )
Wireless sucks, dropouts, sharing, latency :censored:
I disable both wireless and blue tooth on my 2 sim towers ( USB tether tablet for sim dashboard )
All bluetooth & analog audio via Creative X5 :love:
