So this is an interesting problem.
I recently upgrade my graphics card. Before I upgraded I was able to use my dlink ac3200 router plus an extender to get amazing range into a separate building from where my router is set up. After I installed a new graphics card the extender didn't seem to have the same affect.
I brought my pc into the same building as the router and could connect no problem. Also other devices all of a sudden no longer connect to the extender. My Xbox 1, my samsung galaxy 5, neither will connect to any network in the other building.
Now i bought a new extender, same problem not the same range. I've currently got my pc right beside the router and for a day or so I was able to connect wirelessly to the router. NOW all of a sudden my PC doesn't detect any networks. It will only work if I have it hardwired in.
Much confusion going on.
The graphics card I upgraded to was the ASUS gtx 970 mini.
My onboard network adapter is Ralink RT5390R 802.11bgn
I have the most recent drivers for both.
I'm checking the firmware for the router now.
Most confusion part is that it USED to work just fine. Then out of no where it stopped giving me the range.
I've looked into changing channels on my router but don't know which channel to switch it to.
Thanks for your time.
Edit: Firmware is all up to date.
