[LUG] Overloading routers and phones

 

We have a couple of holiday cottages which link to our fantastically fast BT hub, 1.98Meg Down and 404k up as of the moment. I can go into one cottage which has 7 people in it and most of them cannot connect with their phones/Ipads - the phones complain of not connecting due to slow connection. I take a laptop over and it works fine. There is one device connected there and looking at the router its pretty much using all of the 404k upload.

Is this likely to be the reason the phones cant connect - the other cottage and our house work fine most of the time. When they are in the cottage however a phone in the house wont work but here and the other cottage seem fine.

Anyone shed any light on this before I swap the router out - I've already bought a new extender for them which worked fine until the came home!
