Have you checked what the wife designed to receive? Not all wifes are B|G N compatible. Frequency can also be a problem, if wife is only designed for a rate of 2.4 G cycles a second then 5 G cycles a second will be problematic.

So your wife keeps going down on you and you're on here complaining about it?

Sheesh!

The secret lies in power lines, however we all know who has the real power in any STW marriage.

Have you read the manual ? That might help you locate the on/off switch.

Have you got a physical connection?

Perhaps yours is a public hotspot?

Maybe you could implement some kind of pay per use system, and use the income to support a second better wife just for you?

OK, back to basics here.

Insert Tab A in to Slot B. You don't need to worry about Spot G yet, not until you've got the basics sorted out.

Try turning the TV off, I often find I have a better wife signal without other background electrical interference.
Once you have uploaded any info required its best to turn it back on or you can get loads of unnecessary traffic/spam

If all else fails I could pop by and give it the once over. I charge by the hour but these things only usually take a few minutes

Your Wife has probably caught a virus. You need to be careful of interfacing with public Wifes, never know what you might pick up...

Never skimp on servicing 😉

We can attempt to make it last longer but sometimes it just starts working all too quickly and can't be made to stop again. Probably just lack of practice with the tools.

Tbh, the problem usually seems to be user error rather than a problem with the wife.

😆 😆
This thread made my wife make an unusual noise, it normally whines, and when it doesnt whine it moans but it actually seemed happy for a brief moment.
Wipes away a tear STW has some great comedians

Classic STW thread, nearly lost a contact lens wiping the tears away! Genius! 😆

Have you got kids? I'm fairly sure it's the kids causing my wife to disconnect, as it was much better before they came along.

Every time I've had that problem this has sorted it, look round the back you will find a small hole where you have to poke something small into it ,you might find some resistance,just keep pushing,you will probably hear a small noise at first then it should work just fine, should achieve similar results in all rooms in the house!!!!

Have you just tried kicking it?
Or placing it next to a radiator??

I´ve had to skip most of this since I´m trying not to spray beer across the keyboard and screen. I will be back later. Carry on.

Don't ask the TV man to service it! It may not turn out as expected 😯

has her socket got a deep groove? If so, you have found the right wife.

Throwing a load of cash at it will have suprisingly good results, but only for a short while!!!!

Yes, but be careful here. You need to be quite subtle and can get away with it only once or twice, regular cash outlay can have very poor results leading to serious failure and regular outages.

There are two possible three times a year where targeted spending will have desirable results, anything outside of this is a tad risky...

Carry on everyone. This is great stuff 😆

If your Wife isn't turned on, my model has a hole at the back you need to push something in while locating the button at the front at the end of the groove. Usually lights up like a Christmas tree. NB. Might need a friend to help if you have small hands!

There's a very good app on android called wife analyser. You can use it to check wife strengths, plot wife performance over time and even compare your wife to other wife's in the neighbourhood. If that's too complicated then there's a simple colour coded dial, when it's green your wife is good to go.

If you want to eliminate user error, try and borrow a friend's wife and see if that works any better in your house?

Good idea FF, in fact you could extend the idea. Speak to the other guys on the street and organise a really good test by putting all [your] various wifes in one house and test each in turn, in several rooms (need to be quite scientific about it). For best results make sure the others are turned off otherwise the interference becomes unmanageable.

The one that performs best in a variety of positions is the model you want.

You could always just get rid and replace it with a newer model. The more up to date ones tend to be better looking, slimmer design and less hassle to operate.

I had a similar problem, once a month for a few days it became rather irratic.
Turns out it all it needed was a coil fitting.

Wife noise floor is too high the only solution is to remove the noise or replace with something that operates on a wife frequency you can work with. There are more modern wife types available, better more attractive options out there but it will involve some investment. However it may only last for a while as there are constant advancements in the wife field.

Thing is, even if you get the latest model, with constant use and regular servicing, they still start to look a bit dated after a few years and you'll want to upgrade again!

If the situation doesn't improve I suggest you go back to using a dial up connection.

Alternatively, run two in parallel. This seems to work quite well for some people, although when things go wrong the costs involved tend to be quite significant.

How's the socket access? If access is a struggle you can get an electronic device that'll help get you started and maybe try an off the shelf lubricant.

On the subject of Android apps you could try Wife Hacker, and see if you can just gain access to one of your neighbours poorly secured wives.

Try placing a bunch of flowers near your wife. That may improve the signal. Doesn't always work and may invoke a full in depth scan.

I've got a couple of old wifes in the attic - they've been up there a while but they should still be serviceable if you want to give one a crack.

Check to see what protocols are supported, streaming video websites could be a good method of doing this.
