Please Help! My Stream Disconnects Due To My New Portable Air Conditioner!
I just bought one of those portable a/c's for my sweltering cam room. You know, the kind you plug into the wall and use the venting tube pointed out the window?
Yesterday was my first day using it while camming. It immediately cut my stream.
At first I thought I might be too close to the a/c, so I moved my computer to the opposite side of the bedroom. It did the same thing.
I tried rebooting, unplugged the charger cord, etc.
I don't get it. I cam a foot away from my mini fridge and micro, AND TV with no problems.
I'm WiFi and there's no other way to cam right now, so I need to make this work.
Any and all suggestions would be helpful.
Thank You so much in advance.
Oh, edit to add. I have a laptop.

^^ Probably a fuse issue, can you find a different outlet outside of your area that uses a different fuse panel and then use an extension cord? Or you could unplug all of your electric devices from their outlets and see if that helps. Either that or your landlord is fucking around.

^It cuts the stream even when not plugged into the wall.
Edit: This is a very old and poorly wired house . If I run the micro and toaster at the same time, it blows a fuse in my room. ( Which is where they are located.)
I will try unplugging as many things as I can today, and see if that makes a difference.

It must be the router wifi signal then, the a/c must be interfering with the wifi signal just like sometimes when certain walls will interfere with routers. Do you have a way of either hardwiring directly to the router? Or can you purchase a wifi extender? If you are already directly connected to the router with a cat/network cable then I can't understand what it could be other than some kind of radio signal issue if your a/c has a remote but even that is unlikely since the bands are totally different.

^^Landlord has router in his room, and the cable comes right from the wall into it.. I can get a wifi extender though, and see if that helps.

I think I figured out the culprit. It's the interference from My microwave. I unplugged it before I started camming, and my stream stayed connected.
Whew!
