Sudden WiFi Issues with My Gaming PC

Since I got my gaming PC, I've been using network adapters to connect to WiFi. About three months ago, my WiFi signal started showing three bars, but I didn't think much of it since the link speed remained at 866 Mbps. However, yesterday when I powered up my PC, the WiFi dropped to two bars with a fluctuating link speed of 270 to 520 Mbps. I'm frustrated because this is making it nearly impossible to download games due to constant connection losses and horrible speeds compared to what I used to have. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

It sounds like there might be some interference or perhaps your router is acting up. Have you tried restarting your router? Sometimes that can help reset your connection and improve the signal. Also, check if there are any other devices nearby that could be causing interference like microwaves or Bluetooth devices. If the problem persists, it could be worth checking for any firmware updates for your router.

GamerDude3000: Yes, I tried restarting the router before posting. No change unfortunately.
