Quote from: tijara33 I also went for the option of a better router as it gives me much more flexibility. Sorry.
Hello,
I hope you do not mind me coming in on this question, I am thinking of changing the Technicolor router which is supplied, can you tell me which router you bought and how much difference it made, I have a tablet which is purgatory!! to use and I am trying to get the problem sorted, I got a "wifi analyser" app and I found channels 1,6 and 11 crowded yet PlusNet say these are the channels we should use , I found no less than 5!! ISPS using the same channel 1 on my tablet .
I got several of these "apps" and they recorded the same problem , channels 1,6 and 11 all in use.
Thank you.

Only too happy to help. I'm using an Asus RT-N56U, dual band router. As an OAP I'm no IT geek so I was delighted at just how easy it was to set up. It's situated upsatirs & I'm typing this downstairs on my latop, 2 rooms displaced. I lose virtually no speed on the 5 Ghz chanel & very little on the 2.4. As with all routers, positioning is important.
I've been using it, trouble free, for 18 months & find it to be in a totally different league compared with the Thomson rubbish.

Depending how you want to use them, they need a wee bit of setting-up, not a lot, and the ones I've used perform happily 7*24 without issue.

One thing to consider when setting up a multiple WiFi AP implementation is if you make the SSID and pass-phrase on all APs the same and turn off their DHCP services, clients will automatically and transparently roam to the best AP, whilst retaining the IP address assigned by the primary router.
In my set up, I can roam around the house with the iDevice or laptop and remain connected with no discernment of which AP I'm associated with.

My father has an earlier model which used to drop out but a firmware update sorted it.
I'm now looking for anew router as my tp-link keeps dropping the 2.4Ghz signal for no reason.
