Changed router

[PaulH1950]

Hi all
Not sure this in the correct place as it is my first post. I have had a v6 s for over 12 months and it has been working fine apart from the odd freeze issues.
My router decided to die so I purchased a new Huawei and am getting over 10- Mbps .However since setting it up I have continual scrambles and it seems the only thing I can do is reboot all the time.
I have spoken with my supplier and he says no one else is having issues with the line, and try to reset dhcp on the new router.
I have done this and there is no change....Any suggestions please ?. Thank you.

Are you using the same cable to connect to the router? It could be dodgy so try swapping it.

I think your search should start there. Wifi can be a bit hit or miss on these boxes. Maybe the wifi on your new router doesn't play as nice as your old one. Is it possible to run a cable to check? Most people use homeplugs where running cables is not an option.

Thanks for your reply...I live in about so homeplugs won't work I think. I will try to connect by cable and see if get any improvement...the trouble is router on one side of the boat and open box on the other...hence wifi !

you could purchase a long Ethernet cable for a few quid and try that, if its your wifi that's the problem and you cant use homeplugs you may not have any other choice
