ADSL Broadband - Issues with speed

[#1]

Hello All,

I was recently given a hub one router by Plusnet because my previous router (2704n stopped working). I have noticed since the change that the speed of our internet is slower. Sometimes when we use the internet through the tv it freezes a lot now, and if we download an application onto the iPad it takes a long time for it to download. This never used to be a problem with our old router. I have spoken to a Plusnet technical person who tested the line and did something to try and make it faster but it has made no difference. Can anyone give me any help or suggestions as to what I can do now? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Kind Regards

Greg

Assuming that this is a wireless problem try splitting the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, see https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/2-4ghz-and-or-5ghz-best-practice/m-p/1351966#M840

Or use instructions below:

Navigate in a web browser to 192.168.1.254.

Click Advanced Settings

Enter your Hub admin password when prompted (unless you've changed it, you'll find the default password on the settings card)
Continue to Advanced Settings.
Click on Wireless.
Click 5GHz tab.
Change 'Sync with 2.4Ghz' to No.
Change the name of the 'Wireless SSID' - I added a '_5' on the end.
Save the changes.



You can then select which one you want per device.
