Fibre optic upgrade POOR WIFI

Chris632 — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 18:35:14 GMT

After upgrading to fibre optic the WiFi within my property is very poor compared to the old broadband. Two rooms 'poor' reception and also failure to connect (mobile) on entering the property, outside areas no signal whereas previously good signal, on driveway, shed & garage. Has anyone else had the same experience and how was it resolved.

I can help a lot with this. Which make/model of router were you given & what Full Fibre package are you on?

Slow speed, intermittent dropouts, breaks in the signal or no signal on some or all devices or no internet access might be caused by Wi-Fi interference from other local networks, which can also lead to a permanent reduction in speed. No ISP can be responsible for your local environment; this is mainly a byproduct of the popularity of Wi-Fi.

Generally speaking, the 2.4GHz band suffers a lot more from interference than the much faster 5GHz band, but the 2.4GHz band can sometimes have a better range; however, this all depends on your local area.

In other words, I offer a free, impartial analysis of your Wi-Fi network and will try to help you optimise your Wi-Fi connection. The next stage involves sending out a guide to help you get me some important diagnostic results so that I can analyse them for you and recommend changes to your router configuration to solve them.

I only send this out to people who request it.
