I am having with my wifi being slow. I have just upgraded to a faster broadband speed as I had been advised that I did not have enough bandwidth to cope with all my devices.
Whilst my wired network is running at the full faster speed it has not made any difference to the wifi speed.
In order to eliminate possible problem areas as to what could be using up the bandwidth I have carried out the following.
My hub has three ethernet connections to it. Two are powerline devices and the third is to my router elsewhere. If I disconnect all three ethernet connections from the hub so that there is nothing else connected to it other than the main feed to the hub the g5 wifi connecttion signal drops and my phone automatically switches over to the g2 band which still works.
If I reconnect the wired router to the hub the g5 signal returns. The signal strength I am getting throughout this procedure is whilst I am standing next to the hub.
The router is set up as a bridge and I suspect that is providing the 5g and not the hub.
Is there a problem with the hub and how can I check?
