Router is broadcasting a very weak signal
I posted this in the Network forum - but did not receive a good response. Hope it's OK to post it here for a better response. I use COX Cable and pay for 100Gbps. That speed arrives at the modem (the router is separate as of now). When my computer is only three feet from the router, I can only get about 15 Mbps. My COX specialist spent almost two full days trouble shooting this issue. He changed the router/modem five times (brand new right out of the box) and got the same poor results. He did a great job in troubleshooting - but with no success. No one in my neighborhood uses HAM radio. Something is squashing the router signal but we can't find the source. The COX tech went way over the line in what COX is responsible for - but finally gave up. He told me COX Cable is only really responsible for getting the signal (100Mbps) to the router - which it does. He said no ISP is responsible for the signal coming out of the router. So, I'm on my own. Hence this plea for some ideas on how to fix this problem. I should also note that hard-wired, I get a great signal to my computer. Hopefully, someone in this Forum can help me out. Thank you in advance!!!
