WIFI OPTIMISATION

[Chris1012]

I recently switched to Talktalk broadband and I'm having issues with WIFI optimisation and channel hopping causing certain devices to disconnect from the WIFI network. From reading these pages I understand that a Talktalk employee can disable this feature on my router? Please can this be actioned?

Ok, thanks. If you could give a couple of dates and times when you experience the problem we could ask our Product team to take a look to see if there's anything that could be causing the problem

Everything else appears to be fine, it's just the 3D printer that I can't connect to some of the time. I'm sure setting and fixing the wifi channel number would help, but if this is not possible in the router then a restart of the printer solves the issue.

OK thanks, do your other device appear to be OK, is it just the 3D printer that you're experiencing problems with?

Hi Chris,

The device is only a few feet away from the router. I had a similar issue with my previous ISP/router (SKY) and it was partly solved by setting the channel number in the router (it would still disconnect, but not as often). It's not a big issue since the device (a 3D printer) isn't used everyday and a restart makes it connect again to the wifi.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry, we are unable to disable wifi optimisation at the moment. Approximately how far are the device experiencing the disconnections, from the router?
