Byyy The Light Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Looking for some help. A while ago there was a company mentioned on here that were good for broadband. It was a niche company and sounded like an estate agent or lawyers “surname and surname” or something. Anyone give me the name?

Myself and the Mrs working from home and it keeps cutting her off completely at certain times of the day mid calls. Must be the set up but very basic tech knowledge so can’t figure it all out.

Dazo Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Don’t spend more money on another mesh system to you find out the cause of your issues. Incidentally you don’t need the asus router in there. The mesh system should connect direct to the virgin hub which should be on modem mode only. What service have you got with virgin ?

Incidentally you don’t need the asus router in there. The mesh system should connect direct to the virgin hub which should be on modem mode only. What service have you got with virgin ? I've got the Gigabit package with Virgin. Just done a speedtest and getting 28.11 mb down and 8.85 up. Was 44mb when I checked last night. I've got virgin router in modem mode with a Asus RT-AC68U router attached and then Asus Zenwifi mesh system plugged in to that. I've got a node upstairs bedroom and one in the front room. I've also hardwired as many devices as possible in to the router so they are not interfering with wifi. One of the problems is if my Mrs is on a zoom call and I walk in to the room, her computer and her ipad completely cut off and she loses all connection. Only thing it can be is my watch but it's a total pain in the hoop. I'm also better off using my phone on 4G rather than having it attached to wifi.

Something clearly isn’t right with the Wi-Fi settings or interference as that speed is terrible for the connection you are paying for. When you are finished work I’d disconnect all the Asus stuff, turn the Wi-Fi on the virgin hub and do a test using Wi-Fi while in the same room. If that works well I’d turn off Wi-Fi then add the mesh direct to the hub and test again. Might as well reset the mesh settings while you’re at it.

I'll reset it all after work and do some testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
