Hi @Westhighland10 

 

Thanks for the Private Message.

 

I've ordered the replacement router, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

 

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

Hi @Westhighland10 

 

Please can you add your name and TalkTalk landline number to your Community Profile, I can then send a new router for testing.

 

Thanks

Hi @Michelle-TalkTalk 

 

The customer has the Huawei DG8041W, please can this be replaced before I start any diagnostics?

Hi @Westhighland10 

 

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 one can sometimes have a better range, but this all depends on your local area.

In other words, I try to help you optimise your Wi-Fi connection. The next stage involves sending out a guide to you 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.
