Good afternoon. For the last two weeks the week keeps dropping on on devices like the iPhone, Android phone and laptop. I have to reset the router and switch off/on the devices. This is a major headache as I work from home 2 days a week. How do I request a new router or router to test the connection? Many thanks.

This is far more likely to be WiFi interference than a faulty router. Slow speed, intermittent dropouts, breaks in the signal, 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.

However, other factors should be investigated first. When this happens, what are the lights showing on the front of the router? Do you have any wired connections & if so, how do they perform?

In other words, I try to help you optimise your Wi-Fi connection. If you would like me to help you, please can you specify the make/model of TalkTalk router that you are using?
