I’m working from home and have 3 teens “remote learning”. They’re on video lessons from 8:15 to 3:50. In the evenings, they’re gaming on PlayStations.
At any one time, we most likely have the following connected to our network: (wired) PC1, PC2, printer; and (wireless) 4x phones, 3x iPads, 2x PS4, 1x PS Pro, TV (Amazon Firestick), Hive thermostat, Ring doorbell, kindle, Alexa, etc., etc.
Not good! Everything slow. Connection unreliable. Tempers raging!
Spoke to VM and have upgraded to expensive Hub4 with 1GB speed. Much anticipatory excitement! However, kids still can’t play Fortnite without connection issues and I can’t watch a film without it pausing periodically.
WHAT DAN I DO?
I have 2xboosters but I understand their speed is limited.
Do I need to be looking at wired connections in the kids’ rooms? How would I even go about that? Should we be using the Ethernet ports on the boosters for a wired connection? If yes, how can I get additional boosters? Annoyingly, Hub4 doesn’t work with VirginConnect app so I can’t order them there or optimize WiFi in each room (very annoying!!)
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
Thanks from a frazzled mum.
