Welcome to the forums, @jackieherbertva . Which router do you have, and do you use a laptop/desktop, or just wireless devices - which ones?

I'm not great at tech, but it's frustrating as I never had this problem previously. Thanks for replying.

Right, so you are on Fibre, not ADSL, and sounds like you still have the router in its default state - which doesn't work very well, especially if you have a mixture of 2.4 and 5GHz devices, which I suspect you do.
I can't find the detailed instructions for sorting this just now - I know they exist, but I was on ADSL with PN, and had no need of them - I'll have a look in the morning, unless anyone beats me to it.

This topic has been moved from ADSL Broadband to My Router.

@jackieherbertva when did you start experiencing these problems, or have you always had them?

See here for splitting the bands https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/2-4ghz-and-or-5ghz-best-practice/m-p/1351966#M840
Many use a BT Smarthub 6 as they are much better devices and are available cheaply from auction sites. See here for more info and link to how to set one up. https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Using-A-BT-Smarthub-An-Update/m-p/1795292#M24601

Thanks for that, @Baldrick1 , I'd forgotten I was supposed to have posted the band-splitting instructions.
