content: Hi there! I have a absoutly lousy Internet Connection on my PC.My PC and Phone uses the same Internet Provider, and my Mobile Phonehas absolutely no troubles at all with the Internet Service.The PC comes up with the message 'SECURED CONNECTION-NO DATA' - whenit drops out - what does this mean? Im using a 4G to Wi-Fi Router and have reset it on many occasions on the actual switch on the deviceand it still haven't resolved this issue.I hear theres VPN and BRIDGE configurations, I only want to use my router, one computer at a time,is there a setting that would make my service more reliable?On a different topic, because I find my Mobile Phone more realiable, I tend to use it for Internet more often than the PC.I've noticed thatwhen Im dealing with a selling site, I tap the icon saying 'See Postage Details', and it directs the screen to a totally irelavent site.Whatcauses this?Thanks Simon.

content: Few potential culprits.The cellular gateway might just not be getting all that great of a signal, especially if it's low down in a house and on a table or the floor. Might want to try moving it higher up.The wlan end of the gateway might be a load of old shit, cheap 802.11 solutions often are, sometimes if it's old and cheap it'll get grumpy.I know what a VPN is, it won't help you here, exactly what BRIDGE is I can only guess, but it's not going to save you either. You might also check the wlan card in the PC in question, if it doesn't have an antenna (full size card), the antenna has fallen off (mini PCI/PCIe card), or it's just not very good (either), those could also be culprits.Also check your service plan, home internet via cellular is quite uncommon for a good reason, that shit's expensive, and they love to cut you off and throttle you, if you're hitting a data cap this might be why.

content: You have not given us enough detail to diagnose your issue with any degree of accuracy.Your PC and phone use the same provider, and your PC is connected via a 4G to WiFi router, this does not tell us (a) how your PC is connected to the router, we can assume it's WiFi, but making assumptions is not a good idea when trying to diagnose a fault.We also don't know how your phone is connected when you're at home, and let me say at this point, if you're not comparing the phone internet to the home internet with the phone at home, then you're not comparing apples-to-apples. The only time my phone is connected to the internet using mobile data is when I'm on the road, if I'm at work or at home, it's connected to the internet via WiFi which in turn connects via GPON fiber.So - let's start by getting the details right and make sure you're comparing apples to apples - if your PC connects to the router using WiFi you'll need to ensure that the WiFi connection is good and has a strong signal before proceeding with further testing.Personally I avoid WiFi unless there is a need for mobility - I'm typing this in my bedroom on a laptop over a less than perfect WiFi connection, but my desktop downstairs has a gigabit wired connection to my router.

content: The same thing happened to me here last night. My iPhone was working fine, but my 5G home broadband has become very slow and unstable. They are all from the same Internet service provider - Optus.
