Dude, I've got a pocket mobile modem. How am I going to make any adjustments?!
I wonder if you could help me . I've been having trouble with my Wi-Fi . In which somebody is broadcasting sound overlay on every video I watch and it's not just for videos. They're using AI to digitally manipulate and change the audio of everything I watch . It's very distracting they are also using a digital version of my voice and implanting in the audio of what I'm watching. I wear a Bluetooth headband just to get to sleep every night I have microphones built into every Bluetooth device . I also have just solved remote access to my PC . I do know that Wi-Fi is not just used for Internet it's also used in microphones that are wireless 2.4 GHz 5.0 GGHz . Is there a way I can encrypt the signal and shut out hackers and anyone listening in to me.
Thank you made my day better❤
It works.. thanks 👍
I understood that. My plan worked.
I started to follow a networking class, told my parents to tell the neighbour about what Courses I am taking, Then told them that I could increase their "mbps" which is their download speed, I went to their router, like 9 neighbours I think, made their connection worse. Just the download speed being 1-2 mbps higher
This is great!
I have a 5g router which should actually giving really good performance but somehow it loses connection sometimes. I hope this fixes that permanently and that it really ups the download speed a bit.
Nice video!

how to use other channels? if the ones that you are using my neighbors are using?
My internet shut down when i chose an unused channel from the automatic setting so switched it back.
What Is A Good One In The Apple Store?
Thanks ! But I can’t download the app. How should I know which channel they’re at? Also, im In the middle east so…?
Hmmm, why not select the "auto" function?
What app will work and show the channels for iPhone instead of android
Thanks Chris for the story and the guy that told his story.
Nice truck Chris.
Logged in to my router.
Tried my best, but could not find any option to change the channel.
From the app, I found that I am on channel 6.
No option at all to change the channel after I logged in to my router.
It is ALLO company.
HEY bro can u buy me a Gaming PC? (i subbed._.)
Do anybody want to give you love peace and happiness and joy and happiness and joy and happiness and joy and happiness and salvation and eternal life if u confess your sins
Do use wired connections if possible: no need to share channels, whatever…
quick question when i put the ip adress on the internet it leads me into a page( pdf sslide)
where it gives some information of my spectrum wifi and i cant modife it what should i do?
My router have sim card. 2 in 1. Router and hotspot. It will use the When i connected to my router's hotspot, it uses my sim card's, main package of internet. Which it is unlimited. You're right. This router is modified router. Hacked by the factory. So it is forever unlimited ! I think maybe my local telco detected my router's hotspot as smartphone. Wierd but true.
does this method work on mobile hotspots from phones? always on 5 ghz wifi 6
There are newer routers that automatically selects a channel for you.
Half the world uses hotspots from phone internet..and the few people l know that use a modem/router don't have half a brain, and it's far too mentally draining to explain anything to them, and their modem/routers are in a bad way, but l don't care, that's their hard luck for not listening to me when l tell em it's sus and l refuse to use their wifi..
In the 2.4Khz range, the only channels ANYONE should use is 1, 6 or 11 (or 14 in Japan). This will ensure that there is the least amount of channel overlapping, and minimum interference for everyone.
Is this App even available anymore? Can’t find it at all
reminds me of spinal tap "this amp goes to 11- why not just make 10 louder? because this amp goes to 11"
What about if seperating the 2.4ghz and 5 gihz band is that a good idea too?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
what if i'm using a lan cable will it matter?
You didn't talk about the Auto channel? Is Auto better or is it best if manually pick a channel.
Bro really just gave his router ip away😂💀
Great Tips!
What if i set it to auto
nothing but a GD ad.
If your on ethernet will it still affect it if there's like 10 other people with the same wifi channel?
The internet provider router you cannot get into it
This video is perfect for explaining to old people I'm not hacking them I'm literally just trying to make the wifi not trash. Thank you…
I already get decent download speeds id rahter sacrifice 100 mbps for 10 less ping
My net operator change my router password and I didn’t even know, now they making excuses and not giving me the password, is there a way to reset it?
My wifi is supposed to give 400 mbps. What i get is 15, they literally scamming the customers.
Nan and Nor gates to fail to open, they get stuck. Hence a reboot of power is needed
anyone know a wifi analyzer app for iPhone?
Which app did you use, none of the apps I downloaded would show the wi-if channels? Thank you in advance!
