Connection issues - please help

Hi New to the forum

Bit of background. I moved to plusnet about 6 months ago and it started quite bad, constant connection drops so I followed the advice on here and moved to 2.4ghz and I didn’t have any concerns until two days ago.

Like most I’m working from home at the moment, never really had a problem with both my partner and I on video calls. The last two days my connection is dropping constantly, neither of us can be on calls at the same time.

More randomly, devices that have never disconnected (tv, iPad) have started to disconnect too, it seems like if turn WiFi on one device, it boots another one off. In the case of the TV, if I reconnect it’s fine.

Not really sure what to do

Just to add

I’ve restarted the router several times, it seems to fix it for a short while then flares up again. Followed the diagnosis tools online to no avail

Re: Connection issues - please help

Have you checked the router logs to verify that the connection is actually dropping?
It could either be a router or line issue.

Can you post the information from the router ‘helpdesk’ page:
http://192.168.1.254 then click troubleshooting and then help desk.

Remove the serial number and your broadband user name.
