Re: Tablet keeps losing connection

Hi there,

 

It sounds like it would be worth you setting the router to connect manually to a different wireless channel. Usually the higher ones are least congested (i.e 11-13)

 

We have a guide on how to do that here https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/getting-the-best-wifi-signal/

 

let us know how you get on and I'll follow things up with you if we need to.

Hi

 

I think you have misunderstood; wireless connection to router is fine, internet is the problem
