I have PlusNet Hub One router. It runs at 866.7 Mbps but from time to time drops to 144 Mbps
When this happens the only way I have found to get back to 866.7 Mbps is to reboot it by switching it off and then back on. Not convenient.
My PC has Killer Wireless n/a/ac 1535
Advice appreciated please.

Hi there,
I'm not sure I follow you. Can you run a speedtest for me at www.speedtest.btwholesale.com?
Cheers,
Anoush

@Gandalf i think he means his WiFi http://www.killernetworking.com/products/killer-wireless-ac-1535
Supposed to be rather good , but of course it still depends if you have a decent router

Since posting here my Network Connections (Right Click Windows Box bottom left hand corner of screen) has stayed at 866.7 Mbps.
I did the speedtest - Download Speed (Mbps) 64.54 Upload Speed (Mbps)16.6 Ping Latency (ms) 25.8
I would think these are acceptable figures?
So I when the Network Connection speed drops to 144 Mbps again, I will redo the speedtest again to see if that is a factor in slowing things down - i.e. is the loss of speed to do with my fibre connection or is it something else, maybe the router or my network card?

@peterb diagnosing wireless issues can be difficult, and depends on who else is broadcasting WiFi locally, Have a look at the support pages to improve your performance, and download a WiFi analyser such as 'inSSIDer' to see who else is broadcasting, and change your cannels to the least used.
But also consider a better router if you want better WiFi! If you have invested in a decent Laptop, then why scrimp on the router.

Changing from 866.7 Mbps to 144 Mbps is probably switching from ac to n wifi, 144 Mbps is full speed for 2-stream 20 MHz n wifi. The difficult bit is working out why it's changing - you could set it so that the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz networks have different names, then you can explicitly choose which band to connect on, ac wifi only uses the 5 GHz band.

For a while has been running without problem but in the last two days speeds have dropped. I noticed it because slow file transfers around network and when using VPN disconnections have occurred. The only solution seems to be to re-boot the router. Anyway here are some figures which might shed some light on what is happening.:
