Hi there, very happy my new PC arrived. Every started up fine, except that right away I noticed my wifi wasn't listed on available networks. In fact, I live in a tower block with about a billion different routers, so I was surprised to see only about five listed. I had to set up the machine offline before troubleshooting.
I live in a flat with a very dodgy layout, so we have a wifi booster. I moved the PC slightly closer to the router (it's halfway up a flight of stairs so not really possible) and it just barely connected, but kept cutting out with barely 100KB/s download speed. I ran Windows troubleshooter on the wifi with no results.
To make sure it wasn't the wifi extension, I moved my whole setup to the living room, as close to the main router as possible. It's actually usable now with a decent download speed, but I still have only a 1 bar of signal despite being basically next to the router! Very frustrating, if anyone knows why this is please let me know. For now I'm going to install any essential updates and some single player games whilst connected, but I can't keep the computer here much longer for space reasons.
I should make clear - this is not a problem with my wifi. I have a Mac Mini, Windows laptop and smartphone and they all connect fine. I checked for driver updates for the network card and of course they were all up-to-date. Please let me know if there's any more info I can give. And yes, I did remove the packing material from the tower first 😅.
