Cheers for your help - it seems the router was a bit on the borked side. I had a spare router and swapped that and everything is now hunky dory. It was bizarre - all diagnostics on the old router worked, my phone worked - it just seems when the guests all let loose at once the router couldnt cope. Now an 'identical' router is coping just fine.One word - 5GHz .. most i-tech will prefer 5GHz to 2.4GHz and if congested will simply ignore it. If you want a good solution, I know a fella lives near me who can provide you with a solid solution ... ;) (The price isn't too outrageous...!) Cheers, Michael. PS. Fitted out a site bit north of here with a similar dilemma, over three dwellings, also with 2Mb down. The only option is to get a second BT line (Copper) installed, then you can load-share across the two 2Mb links to give you 4 ... bandwidth-wise, but WiFi+management is easy to do with the right kit ...

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! Tom te tom te tom
Really could do with some 30 year old tech here though.... Tom te tom te tom -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
