2.4 GHz Wifi Extremely Slow Since Installation of Smart Home Devices

Recently, I began the conversion of my house to a smart home with different things, such as wifi controlled lights, outlets, etc. 7 devices are constantly connected at all times, while all of the high end / high speed devices are connected to the 5GHz channel. When people come over, they connect to whatever channel seems to be available on their device. For some reason, even though a max of roughly 10 devices are connected on the 2.4 GHz channel, it speed tests around 0.65 mbps. Even if some device was limiting the router to G speeds, there is no reason the router should be this slow. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this may be? I am currently using a Linksys WRT1200AC with stock firmware, and the channel is set up to be the least crowded one in the area. The router is also connected to 600/50 internet, and the speedtests were being done in the same room as the router. Thanks!

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
