I have fibre broadband, smart router with two disks. Problem is my signal fluctuates heavily even though I am close to the disk. What can cause the interference? How can I get a steady signal for my laptop?

You could download a signal analyser such as inSSIDer to try and see if there is anything else broadcasting in the area.

Hi @Wynman ,
When the fluctuations cause a low signal, do fast.com and speedtest.net show poorer performance compared to when a high signal is seen?
If there is no noticeable effect (e.g. the above or latency), it may be a non-issue.
I guess it's likely the disks form a mesh network or just act as repeaters so their signals overlay onto the smart hub WiFi signals. I would guess the SSIDs are all identical (or just one repeated) so you might just be seeing the multiple devices switching places when ordered by strongest signal (or a repeater hiccup). A WiFi analyzer app can be used to check for multiple devices broadcasting the same SSID which your device may float between.
My money's on non-issue. Good luck! 🤓
