Various Issues and the Methods of Linksys Router Troubleshooting:
Older version of adapter drivers
Your computer’s wireless adapter performs better if the drivers are updated. Wireless adapter’s compatibility with Wireless – AC, N, G, A or B standards should also be taken into consideration. Get in touch with your hardware manufacturer for complete specifications of your wireless adapter. You can also check the connectivity of other wireless devices that are included in the network. The router should not be troubling you if all other devices have good wireless connectivity to the network.
Distance from the router
The distance between your wireless adapter and router can impact your internet speed. A general rule is that if you double the distance between the router and client (or device), the efficiency decreases by one-third of its original strength.To obtain a strong signal, remove those objects which lie amidst your router and system that may be hindering wireless waves.
