See thats better but mine didnt last

 

Take it it's the 5g connection it's offering 2g and 5g what did you use ?

 

Yes 5g

 

Two iPads two iPhones a MacBook Pro Apple TV and smart TVs and still giving 100 mb + will monitor it see how it goes

 

Hope it stays stable for you mate

 

All I look for is it to be able to stream from YouTube on my iPad to my Marantz music steamer and the old 150 feed would drop out stall etc a long call to virgin and then good for a week then back to stutter and stall. Have a virgin moby sim in iPhone put it off wifi to 3G it plays to the Marantz perfect. So Deffo something Amis with their wifi.

So wifi is still dropping is there anything i can do about it

 

Plus only getting 30mb on wifi now was getting 186mb

 

So the two biggest causes I had when I worked for faults, the device can't support quicker and other things are using the bandwidth.

Disconnect everything from the route and test the speed with a single machine wired to it.

Full speed? then you have ruled out VM being the issues.

Next connect something you know can support quick speeds, like a laptop with an N rated card.

If you aren't getting the speed, then you can look at the channel, distance etc with the router. If still no luck, try and borrow someone else's router, put the router in modem only mode and use the route to test the speed. If it works ok, then call VM and have a new router sent out.

Very rarely the router is the cause, normally PC or settings.

 

Cheers pimmo downloaded a wireless anyliser app to check what channel i was on and other people near me its more the fact is disconnecting and reconnecting

 

Mine is still laggy when gaming and watching stuff on 'Kodi'

Just done a speed test, 2.79mb download

Made my daughters xbox wired now fine 153mb

 

So you know the service is ok, the router could still be faulty.

 

I think the router was jumping from 2g to 5g mate as i told my phone to forget 2g and its not dropped again

 

your phone was jumping not the router, most new phones have the ability to detect if the network is poor and switch, I had to disable that on my phone as whenever I got to more than a certain distance from my router, it would jump to 4G. turning it off the connect was fine.

 

Ok cheers for info mate

 

I had that. iPhones certainly give issues with this.

They especially do not like it if both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks have the same SSID, as I used to have (macs and PCs were fine)...the iPhone (6S) just would have a paddy connecting and jumping between them. Now my 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks have separate names its resolved the issue; can still switch between them though, but seems to prefer being on the 2.4GHz.

 

Which is odd, as the 5g should in theory be the cleaner connection.

 

Best using the vm superhub in modem mode and buying a decent router, massive improvement and no dropping or cutting out, im getting a nice steady 208 mb on wifi with mine now.

 

.....

 

show off!!!

I'm getting 2 meg wifi and 20 meg wired. I've been told it's due to an 'upgrade' in my area. Should be finished by 27th, so we shall see

 

I thought that.

But I guess with Apple, they have to be different for the sake of being different.

 

From the day i upgraded my kids keep moaning about getting kicked from xbox
