So,
Just moved from talktalk and I'm immediately finding a difference in internet. The speed appears slower and the range is really bad. My phones WiFi signal even dissappears in house. Never had that before.
Never seen Netflix buffer before and it's started doing it today.
Does anyone know if there should be any difference in speed (I just have basic like for like broadband) and if it would be better to change the router?
I have the two latest talktalk routers and a belkin n wireless f5d8636-4v1.
Help...
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Welcome to the forums.
I've never used this device but here is an independent review which rates it at 2 out of 5 http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/plusnet/1403635/plusnet-hub-zero-2704n-review

With the feet tucked in you can also mount the router to the wall to get it out of the way.
I wonder what else they got wrong in the review

True you can do that, but if you want anything other than the mains supply plugged into the back of it ( such as phone lead/ethernet cables) your stuffed

Hi
can I ask which router you switched to as I am having lots of problems with the 2704n dropping out.
Thanks

I have tried the hg633 on both 2.4ghz & 5ghz. It works ok but I do notice the signal is not as strong as the dsl-3780 although the dsl-3780 only transmits on 2.4ghz.
The dsl-3780 has a stronger signal and consistently shows a higher download speed via its own Web page and several speed apps I used.
Nothing scientific here but there does appear to be a difference.
Browsing Web pages is smoother with the dsl-3780.
Had a few drop outs but I've put it down to plusnet system testing my connection as a new customer???
(neither router was locked down)
On Another point, I never once lost connection from talktalk in 4 years and the speed was better.
