router (7800n) or line fault?
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2015 8:51 pm
Dear all,
First post here but wanted to get an idea of what I'm dealing with problem wise.
I swapped over from VM to TalkTalk recently,
Bought a second hand 7800n on eBay as I heard it was a fantastic router, I have had it going tonight and it doesn't seem to have been any better than the router talktalk provided so far (which was horrid).
Basically we were watching a few streams I believe, youtube upstairs and iplayer down and the router seemed to stop working after a point, wifi went and was gone for a minute or two before returning and being extremely slow.
This happened regularly! with the talktalk router but has happened once so far with the billion.
I have been playing around with settings since trying to get it stable again,
I am currently on 11N with no snr tweak.
My line is usually between 7-8mb and was this with the talktalk router too.
It is a long line, approx 3 km from the exchange.
I don't hear any crackling or noise on the line, I have a splitter on the bt box too.
Did my streams overload the line? is it a router issue? wifi issue? Don't really know where to begin to be honest!
Thanks for any help.
