Have you tried moving your kit to a different location? My wife's car jams our wifi - she has to park it well away. Even though I'm 6ft from the router and showing 90-100% signal. On 2.4 and 5GHz. We also have an alarm system (in a different location) which periodically reports RF jamming (at c

Hi Terry All wireless items are on 2/4Ghz as nothing has 5GHz. The tablet is an old Samsung (Android) 10 and 'just works'. Did not have to do anything to it when I re-booted the router; it just re-connected and Lily did not notice anything! Have opened up the laptop and checked the card, ch

Hi Keith To answer your question 'no' the only Fluorescent or microwave is in the kitchen which is not in line of sight; it's off to one side by 6m+ and has 2 extra walls between them and the router.  Never had a problem before like that. Replying via Ethernet. On 11/02/2021 11:18, Keith Ed
