Try a mains reset of all of the equipment - modem/router, range extender etc.

Saw this on HotUKDeals earlier……

Actually I posted before is just for the one device so not a great deal afterall.

For my price range this seems to be the best, I can pick it up today from PC World for £99 so will probably do that.

I’ve just run a speed check and upstairs my speed is 1MBS! The TP Link can’t be working properly although the lights are on and I’ve connected it to my router again using the WBS buttons.

Does anyone know what could have happened? Just been kicked off a work Teams call about 4 times in half an hour so not ideal!

My laptop was getting 0.01mbps the other day.... I turned off 2.4GHz on my wifi NIC and it jumped back up to 35mbps.

Think it was just interference in the 2.4GHz range.

Few of the moaners on HUKD giving it the thumbs up so can’t moan for that price, a decent router is around that price and two ports on each.

Got a 3 year guarantee on PC World for the extra tenner as well so I'm selling it as that to myself ;D lets see how it goes.

This is the one I have

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deco-M4-Seamless-Coverage-Replacement/dp/B07NH1J543/ref=sr_1_2?adgrpid=66219058974&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnueFBhChARIsAPu3YkSiXqpQvrg1H1NWluJp5BVoyxs5B31odk5VNDjGuFiKou3rO8Lb1UgaAokaEALw_wcB&hvadid=334964552086&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1007415&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11902610495626878698&hvtargid=kwd-577236417748&hydadcr=4714_1741327&keywords=deco+m4&qid=1622823269&sr=8-2

Easy to set up, you set your own network name and passwords and once you've set up the "host deco" they pretty much find each other.  You might need to move the slave devices around the rooms to ensure you get the best signal but it should be fine for a town house (assume you have three floors) place one on each floor and you should be good to go.

There's an app you will need to download and you can reboot the device from there if you want, you can even set up a guest network if you have visitors (Covid-19 allowing, of course :) )
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.


If anyone is going to put a few fingers deep into my arse it's going to be me.

I guess it’s all the same app so if you notice anything slowing down or being weird you can run the network optimisation tool and it’ll make any adjustments if you’ve got interference.

WiFi still bit and miss in our house. It is actually fine for things like my sons’s PS4. It’s hit and miss on our phones and iPads (all Apple). When you looo on the settings there it says ‘weak security’ under our house WiFi. Could it be linked to that and how do you fix it?

Keep seeing online how it says you can change it on your router but have no idea what to do.

Could be the Apple devices are all running on 2.4GHz and the rest are on 5GHz, and you have interference on the 2.4GHz range. Or vice versa.

You can log in to the router and usually disable 2.4GHz (but only do so if all your devices support 5GHz) or you can try changing the channel on the 2.4GHz range.

Not sure what the low securiyt could be - unless you still have the default password which you can also change from logging into the router.

Weak security is referencing your encryption. When you go to your WiFi on you phone you'll usually see something like WPA/WPA2 PSK. Log into your router and where you change can change your SSID you should also be able to change your wireless encryption setting and the default password.

If your using the best possible encryption your router provides i wouldn't worry about it. It's probably just apple letting you know you aren't using the latest encryption standard out there.

Expecting booster pods off VM tomorrow..I imagine them to be pretty easy to set up.

Just a note to others who may need them or want them in future off VM.
The protracted conversation went something like..

Me: I have wifi outages..
VM: We have pods @ £5 per month extra..
Me: Piss off
VM: You can have them free for 3 months..
Me: Piss off
VM: You can have them free for 6 months..
Me: Piss off
VM: You can have them free for 12 months..
Me: Put me thro to disconnection dept.
VM: You can have the pods for no extra charge.

Cheeky fuckers..I'm sure they get a ton of extra dough supplying these to customers.

Edit: they even tried to renew/start a fresh contract with 'free pods'.

Having some issues with my fibre broadband. Openreach engineer suggested I get a TP Link wifi extender 1GB? 

My wifi network is currently split into two SSIDs, so that devices can connect to the 2.4ghz band and others can connect to 5ghz.

Will this still be an option with a wifi extender? Or would 2.4ghz and 5ghz have to be combined into the same SSID?

Are you able to split your SSID so you effectively have two wifi networks? One for 2.4 and one for 5ghz?

Didn't read the entire thread but here's my quick list of how to get good internet speeds over the entire house:

1) Have one of your router or access points as high as possible.
2) Check the 'sync' speed on your router settings; if they're NOT near what line speed you're paying for: disconnect everything else from your phone sockets if possible, in fact rip them all out for best results and just connect your router to the master socket if you really want best results.
3) Split 2.54GHz and 5GHz SSID's.
4) Download WiFi analyzer app and see what channels are free based on how congested your neighbourhood is.  Often the 'auto' setting will get this right but you should validate.  Select a channel with fewer other access points if possible.  (You will see channels 1, 6, 11 populated mostly) This only really applies to 2.4GHz band as 5GHz band using 80MHz channel bandwidth occupies all UNII1 frequencies anyway.  (ignore this if you're not sure what I just said)
5) Run speedtest either on a LAN connection or a 5GHz WLAN device located near the router to check for good speeds.
6) Convince anyone possible to connect to the 5GHz network, not the 2.4GHz network as it has higher bandwidth.   Leave the 2.4GHz network for devices that struggle with connectivity in dark areas.

The above is good for anyone.  The below is for those that want to extend their WiFi.

7) Buy a pair of powerline adapters.  Don't fall for big numbers!  If your broadband is 100Mbps, there's zero point buying a 1000Mbps adapter.  Mine are all TP-LInk 600Mbps. Pair them, plug one in near to router, connect ethernet cable.
8.) Pick up an old router from facebook marketplace; most people have an old one sat around anyway.  Situate this and the other powerline adapter as far from the router as possible but in a useful area to make best use of the additional coverage.  Look online for how to configure your spare router as a non-DHCP access point.  The Sky Q Hub or the BT Hub One are both fine.  It may need trial and error in what order you set the wireless name, remove IP setting, and turn DHCP off.  You do want the wireless SSID names to be the same as your router to ensure seamless movement around the house!  (note: a small switchover period is normal)

That's it.  Sounds complicated but really isn't and is in my opinion by far the best way to 'extend' WiFi signal - way better than boosters and the like and costs less too - plus you can simply move it any point later.  I have my extended WiFi in a log cabin at the end of my garden with 30Mbps download speeds - that's due to the AC mains cable distance.  But really that's good for most things people need.  The Sky Q hub has been set up as an access point for about 16 months now without skipping a beat. The powerline adapters should be problem free but can reset on power cuts.  Just something to be aware of.

...

All decent advice, one thing that is often overlooked but really fucking helps is if you've got things that don't move, put it on ethernet. The power line adaptors and a switch make this a piece of piss and it takes things off the wifi that don't need to be on it.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to be posting this.

But I'm having big issues getting Disneyplus to work on my Google Tv & also on my Samsung S20 - via my Wifi.

On Google TV it used to work and now suddenly it won't load - I have tried troubleshooting to no avail, spent hour scouring forums - it just will not work.
- Clearing the app cache/data
- Removing the app and downloading it again
- Restarting my wifi
- Unplugging Google Tv for a bit

It works fine on my TV if I used the app downloaded onto my actual TV - just not on the app on Google TV.

On my S20 it won't work when I'm connected to wifi - but it will work when I'm using my cellular data ... but strangely enough, it works fine on wifi on my sister's iphone when we are sitting right next to each other.

There's absolutely zero issues with the strength of my wifi - everything works from every corner of the house - except farkin' Disney!

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Lots of stuff online about issues on Android. Sounds like you've tried all the stuff I'd normally suggest, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/DisneyPlus/comments/e2g3k8/disney_not_working_on_android_heres_what_i_did/

As you're paying for it, I'd log a support ticket with them (must be an email somewhere at least) and get some help from them.

Yeh I have tried everything - and I honestly cbf contacting Disney to sort it out.

Just gonna bin my subscription.

Paramount just became available in Australia so I'll sign up to that instead.

They've got the A-League rights as well as the FA Cup - and they will be making a big play for the EPL rights for next season when they go to auction again in Aus.

Moved into our new home (LE19 2RG) and found out we can't get fibre (Virgin can't dig 14m underground and openreach website says it's not available). This means i'm left with either ADSL or 4G/5G mobile broadband which i know will be crap. Me and the mrs both WFH so need decent speeds. If anyone can help that would be much appreciated

We had everything setup with Virgin but they told us they can't install as they are unable to dig 14m underground (why tell us it's available then?!). I guess it's because our house is the furthest one from the cabinet and the lady said it stops after 36 which is ridiculous. How can we move into a really nice house in a lovely rural area and have shit internet?

I've been searching everywhere tirelessly for an adequate solution but to no luck. Has anyone else had this issue when moving home and if yes, how did you overcome it?

When in the house we tested the mobile coverage on our devices, i'm with o2 the mrs is with EE. From my phone I have internet and can go on websites/instagram but it's pretty slow, for the mrs, EE doesn't work at all. I ordered 2 sims from vodaphone and three and will test them out tomorrow to see how they work. If they both fail then i'm back at square one...

You can probably get better speed on satellite but it's expensive, will have small data caps and the latency is very high (so hopeless for gaming, and not great for VOIP/Teams/Zoom etc).

It might be worth taking it up with Ofcom. My mum and her partner are in a similar situation and Openreach are quoting something like £90k to install fibre to them and their neighbours (about 10 households). They can get a grant towards it from the government but the total amount between all households comes to about £30k. They have lodged an appeal with Ofcom to get it done or force Openreach to do it, I'm not sure on the exact details.

Had a look at this and it does look good, but priced at almost £500 upfront and £89/month it's not cheap! It definitely seems better than ADSL though..

Happy New Year reds,

Quick update - I have purchased the TP Link AC 1200 Dual Band Archer MR600 V2 and now looking for an O2 sim.

There seems to be conflicting information whether a normal phone sim works in a 4G router, some say yes and some say only a data sim will work.

On the O2 website, a phone sim with unlimited data is available for £30/month (12 months) but they also have a mobile broadband sim with unlimited data available for £34/month (12 months).

Has anyone tried a normal sim in a router and can confirm if it works?

Thanks

Have you looked at Sky Mobile? They use the o2 network, you get to keep any unused data each month in a piggybank and their sims definitely work in a 4G router.

Looking for unlimited data as it will run everything in my house. Had a quick look and can only see 50GB on their website..
