router

I had FTTP installed yesterday. Existing set up is a BT broadband router, wireless for my TV in the lounge and wired connection to PC in office. Do I connect the LAN cable to the NTE plate or the router? The wireless signal to the TV doesn't appear to be as good with the Gigaclear Linksys...

Long story short - recently upgraded my Plusnet router to a TP Link AC2100 VR600. Worked OK for a couple of weeks but now I'm dropping connection all over the place and the wifi drops off with certain devices constantly. I added an AC750 mesh extender but that doesn't work particularly well...

Hi all. I moved over to Sky 9 days ago now. I have my own set up in a Draytek Vigor 130 and an ASUS RT-AC86U with Merlin installed. The day my Sky connection went live I sorted everything out and the connection was fine. 70mbps and all as expected. Yesterday however, on the morning of day 8...

I'm trying to set up a SFTP server on a cheap little N300 Mini Wireless Router (GL.iNet GL-MT300N-V2 "Mango"). It runs OpenWRT. Has anyone got anywhere with installing SFTP on an OpenWRT device? The aim is to serve some videos over the internet via the attached USB drive. Possibly culminating...

Hi. Apologies if this isn’t in the correct forum but wasn’t sure where best to put it. I’ve just recently changed to a new sky broadband package as my old one was very old and costly. They’ve given me a new hub and it’s all set up. I use a nvidea shield tv for most of my tv viewing but since...

Hi All, Apologies for another which router thread. My parents currently have Sky TV (not Q) and sky broadband. The router they have is the SR102. The wifi signal is terrible and they've asked me:facepalm: to sort it out for them. I've had a bit of a read around and can see that there are a...

So.... We have Virgin Broadband and have had various speeds with no issue, however we've moved from 350Mbps to 500Mbps and the speeds on speediest haven't changed, still showing around 300Mbps. Connecting my MacBook to the router directly gives me speeds over 520Mbps, the router should give me...

I've done a search but I'm not sure!! I have a Sky Q router which I would like to place in a different position to improve my wifi signal around the house. My Sky Q router came with a small length of lead attached to the plug. In my house I do not have a mains socket at the point where I would...

I have BT broadband and last 2 weeks it's been awful, even in next room. I have a BT Smart Hub, any ideas please. The wifi has been so bad, did wonder if a Smart Hub 2 would make a difference as we have older version but it's same amount of antennas. Thanks

I have Virgin Media and whilst it generally works well I am trying to run a 2nd WiFi hub and I think by doing this I have caused some sort of clash. I need a 2nd router as I need to have WiFi in my shed. I have a Virgin Hub 3.0 called “Office WiFi”. Thankfully when we built the house we put cat...
