Great idea but not really an option for me.

Sometimes I Can't watch Programmes unless on standard definition channels. Assume its because he is on the xbox. When he switches it off it gets better.

 

[ToonSteve]

is it a h2s box? if so install the speed test plug in and test the internet speed on ya box

Sounds like you need faster broadband rather than a new router. What is your broadband speed?

 

[formandvoid]

Ageed,I would say it is your internet.

Any modern router can handle IPTV and gaming at once.

You need a better broadband package.

I cant get a better broad bank package as far as im aware.
Im on sky fibre but the box is a long way from my house and only get copper to my front door.
I average around 8-11Mb.

Have you checked with sky to see if there are any problems as that seems very low and I think IPTV on it's own would struggle at that speed.Also have you disabled the sky shield.

 

[Sparky7ot]

Broad bandsheld is off all the time.
No problems my end either or their end.
I think I can get upto 16Mbs max.

That is your issue then not the router. That sounds very slow for Fibre. Visit this page -

Put your landline number in and on the post all the results for the VDSL range A and VDSL range B rows

so u have fake fibre?

100% that sky rents the line off of virgin media and claims it is their own. This is how most ISPs work.

Sky use Openreach lines, same as most other ISP except Virgin.

BT Fibre is awful.
