I have this strange problem in my home. My router is in the living room, using M1 fibre. When I go into my study room and connect to wifi, my laptop shows full signal strength. It is not that far from the living room and I have no trouble web browsing.

But my company VPN connection is very unstable and I cannot do desktop sharing or VOIP calls over the VPN. If I move to the living room, the VPN is rock solid. I don't understand why when wifi signal is full bar in the study room, the VPN is unstable? Anyone knows?

you need a static WAN ip address for your router
M1 ip address is a dynamic one, forever changing
sometimes good sometimes bad
thats why you sometime can VPN
