Bit of a rant, sorry. Had my router swapped last week because the old one kept rebooting. The new box is honestly worse in the bedroom upstairs. Downstairs near the TV it's fine, but upstairs video calls freeze and my son's gaming keeps kicking him out.
House is a standard 3-bed semi, router is in the hall by the front door because that's where the engineer put it years ago. I've tried turning it off and on again, moving the router a little, changing the Wi-Fi name, all the usual stuff. I don't really want to pay extra for anything if I can help it.
Any actual tips for dead zones? Or is this just what broadband is like now?
Not staff, just another customer - had the same in my place. Moving the router even 2 metres helped more than I expected. I thought it was nonsense at first. If it's by the front door, try a shelf in the hall instead of floor level. Also worth checking if your bedroom walls have foil-backed insulation, that absolutely murdered my signal.
