Very slow wifi

In the past week - our internal wifi has dropped off horribly - it can't maintain three users - just browsing internet - no video...
For one computer to watch iplayer - need to turn all the others off...
This wasn't true last week....
We've two windows 10 computers - they don't appear to be updating / downloading - but I'm struggling to think of anything else.
Is there a way to measure wifi speed - i.e. from router to computer - rather than outside world to router?

by neighbours.
Then choose channels that are not / least used.
Assuming you have dual band router, ensure the SSID's are unique too.
5ghz band currently is far less populated, but has less range than 2.4ghz.

channels look ok - neighbours channels aren't very close.
As far as I can tell - isn't a dual band router - so only have 2.4Ghz available.
The router is white, Sagemcom 2704N model.... We've not been with plusnet all that long - is this an old router?

settings, to see if that helps. Plenty of Openreach Routers on E Bay; these can be configured to work on PN too.

Hey @peter_10,
Thanks for reaching to us here and apologies for the delay in response.
From what you've mentioned it wholly sounds like a WiFi issue, I've performed some testing on the line and there doesn't appear to be any issues. With that being said the advice @Gel's provided is pretty much the troubleshooting steps we'd ask you to take. Please check out this link here and let us know how you get on.
Thanks.
