Just got a new router and spent around 4-5 hours re-connecting all of my devices (cameras, smart plugs, echo’s, bulbs…you get the idea, the woes of living a modern, somewhat lazy lifestyle). This was not fun.
Things are just as bad, if not worse than before. Thinking I’d fixed the slow inconsistent speeds, I am now noticing that Alexa is talking to me like a stranger, my smart plugs are not turning on or off and most of them are coming up as unresponsive!
I’ve decided to test throughout the day and keep a log of the speeds.
Next day and ALL devices are now offline, what a waste of a day yesterday was! Speeds are better in the day and painful in the evening, for the first time it was hard to get through a full streamed TV show.
My conclusion is that as much as the service to the line is always coming up as OK, it always will because the fault is not with Openreach. The service has now become unstable and intermittent...it wasn't 2 weeks ago!
When working, the Talk Talk extender now moved to my studio helps, but this now moves the problem to my living room (where the extender was)! I've been with Talk Talk for so long and always had the odd problem every 6 months or so, this time it's stressing me out!
Should I have to pay extra for further wi fi extenders to now give me the service I used to receive?
