New router - low speed

[Silvio Andres]

Hi everyone, 

I received my new router last week, and it's constantly performing under the 1 MB - 3 MB speed that I should get ( it's around 0.7) . I've tried restarting after a break of 30 seconds, up to 30 minutes, and I've also tried with the test socket, but nothing. 

Can anyone help, please? 

Thank you very much. 

Regards.

Hi Debbie,

The engineer solved the problem, and everything is back in order. Thank you for your help.

I have to be honest, if it wasn't for you I'm not sure when and how the problem would have been solved. It was really hard to deal with many people from Talktalk, proof is that it's been 3 weeks without (or with extremely slow) Internet and only today the problem got solved. I won't complain, because I have the feeling it'll just be more troubles. So my final feedback is:
OCE Debbie 6 out of 5;
BT engineer 5/5;
TALKTALK 1/5;
Talktalk's complain team - 1/5;

Take care!
Regards

Hi Debbie.

The router is connected at the new test socket the engineer put yesterday. He told me that my issue, from what he saw is
with the broadband, and that my line was fine. He checked my connection (I think he used the term at the green box, but not so sure), and said that unless the issue won't be raised as a broadband issue he couldn't solve it (quite frustrating, frankly, considering it's the same engineer....) . And this is why it's not working, he said.

Hi Silvio Andres

The line is not showing in sync. Is the router currently connected at the test socket? The line test is detecting a possible fault towards the property.

Thanks

Hi Debbie,

Thanks for the answer. No, it's not switched off, it is on.

Hi Silvio Andres

Is your router currently switched off?

Thanks

Debbie

Hi Debbie,

The engineer has just left. Said that the line is OK, but the issue is with the broadband. So basically I'll need a broadband engineer.

It's the same person who does also broadband, but cannot do anything unless the issue is not raised as a broadband issue.

Can you please help to arrange another appointment?

Thank you

Hi,

This morning my Internet was very slow, this afternoon I can't access Internet at all. I just tried to restart the router, but nothing changed. 

Can someone help me, please?

Thanks

Hi Divsec, thank you for your suggestion, I didn't know you could do this. However, I've tried to split the SSDI as suggested, and used Internet for some time, but I haven't seen a big improvement. It's good to know, anyway.

Thanks

Hi @Silvio Andres have you tried Split your router's SSID (wireless network name) . This often helps, but always remember WiFi will always be slower than wired.

[Silvio Andres]

Hi Devsic, thanks for the answer. I test the speed with the Wi-Fi. On the service status page I can see my speed, lower than what it's supposed to be. I've run connectivity checks in these days, and the result has alway been that no issues were found, but I should check my home set up. I followed the steps suggested in the page, but all seemed OK.
Last week my Internet connection was intermittent and Talk Talk sent me a new router, which worked relatively well so far, except for the speed.

Thanks!

Hi @Silvio Andres , are you testing wired or WiFi?
