Buffering After Upgrading From Fibre 35 To Fibre 65.

[keithabrown]

I recently upgraded from Fibre 35 to Fibre 65.  The problem I have is that when streaming or watching videos there is constant buffering. I didn't have this problem with Fibre 35.  I don't know if the problem is with the router or my PC.  I have cleared the cache and switched the router off and on but still have the problem.  Any suggestions how to resolve this problem much appreciated. Router is D-Link DSL - 3782. I have the problem using both Firefox and Chrome.

Hi Debbie

Only tried on PC up till now.  I will try watching one of the problem videos on my mobile and get back to you.

Hi Keith

Thanks for confirming. Have you tested on different devices or only with the PC?

[keithabrown]

Hi Debbie

Yes wired connection to my PC. I have already returned the old router, cables etc.

Hi Keith

I'm sorry to hear this.

Is this happening on wired devices?

Hi Debbie

Unfortunately the replacement router hasn't resolved the buffering problems when streaming or watching videos on certain websites. I think that in general pages are loading quicker but I still have the buffering problem as before.  There must be a different reason for the change since upgrading to Fibre 65. Someone has suggested trying a different browser.  I already have the same problem in Firefox and Chrome. Brave browser was suggested.

Hi Debbie

I installed the new router this afternoon and will update you with the result.  Hopefully the buffering problem will be resolved.

Hi Keith

Hi Debbie

Yes, the router was delivered yesterday. I need to liaise with my alarm company because when I install the new router they will have to reconnect all the alarm devices.  I expect to connect the router in the next day or so.  Once I have done it I will update you.

Thanks

Hi

Yes please. Trying a replacement router is a good idea.  It might resolve the problem.

Thanks

Hi,

Ok, would you like us to send a replacement router for testing purposes to see how the connection compares? We would also send a router returns bag so that one of the routers can be returned.

Thanks

Wired connection.  The buffering problem has only happened after speed increased.  No buffering ever prior to this change.

Morning,

I've run a test on the line which hasn't detected a fault and the connection stats look ok. Can I just confirm, do you experience the buffering when connected wired or wireless please?

Thanks
