Hi I am seeking advice re Router issues with our internet connection. I am learning as I go so don't have a lot of experience on this issue.
We are currently with Daisy on old BT landline on broadband/phone deal. After months of complaining we have finally got a new router and because of the difference I started researching this subject.
Old Router was a Technicolour TG582n and was giving us constant good download speeds of 11-12mbs which for us here in the sticks we accept as ok. Then in past few months in the evenings and every evening it would drop every few minutes or seconds between 11mps and 0. After months of complaining we have received a Technicolouyr DWA0120 and the immediate results were great a constant 10.6 download. However after just a few days they are now around 5 constant 24/7.
We run a small business but need connection to upload video and use for emails etc. We do not watch TV or stream etc so really do not need Fibre but happy to pay the extra £10 per month if worth it. We are approx 1 mile from nearest BT box with quite old copper connection.
Is it worth upgrading to a better Router? Happy to pay just very new to such research. Would the DrayTek Vigor 2762 Series ADSL/VDSL Router wirelsss “ac” WiFi be a suitable and an upgrade from the current DWA0120?
Apologies for long post be interested to get any advice.
Many thanks Rod
