Wifi help...

[Citizen of Legoland]

Kids bedrooms have been a nightmare for signal but I put powerlines in that not only extend the signal but I can also run cable from to hardwire their main devices.

Never once skipped a beat whilst I’ve had booster and tried mesh systems that were shite imo.

Yes they work well but of course you lose power sockets which can be a pain. Well it is in my house, there’s never enough and I can’t stand having extension leads everywhere.

Yep. Extension cables galore to make up for it but if it keeps the kids online and not moaning then it’s a small price to pay.

LOL!!

He means can you go into the settings on your PC...

Can go into the settings etc but can't enter the password.

Okay.

Explain exactly what you CAN do on your PC and where it comes a cropper.

Am I thinking you can turn on the PC, but the password can't be entered?

If so, check simple things first like Number Lock.

Ok....all the other pcs, tablets, printer etc have been set up and work except one, my old one which worked fine before the new sky set up today. It turns on ok but I've nowhere to enter the password..... I did once but it didn't hold the password, nothing since but intermittant wifi connection which doesn't last long.

"I cannot get anything up to insert the password.....everything else has allowed me" what does that mean?

That part's the mystery.

Have you moved router/ PC position of late?

I kept having WiFi issues myself, at one point, last year. Tried everything and an engineer came out, sorted it by rejigging the signal power through the cables.

Now I'm with a new company as I got fed up with price hikes and went hardwired after drilling through my wall. Not saying do that, but you might have to consider maybe moving things around.

Maybe you're 'overloaded'??

How many things have you got attached to the WiFi?

The box that requests the password has appeared on the pcs etc but it won't come up on the one in question. Well it did once but it wouldn't load the password

Inc the TV 2 phones, 2 tablets, 3 laptops and a printer
On the old Sky set up we did need a booster and it worked fine....after the engineer fiddled about with some wiring. But that's so yesterday as I've just today found out...it's a whole new viewing " experience "
....too right

The new tplink ones include a plug socket so you don't lose one, but they do stick out a bit more. I'd plug everything out for at least 10 minutes and start again with the router and then each applinace one by one. I use TPlink AV1300 adapters. Be aware that the advertised declared speeds are never achieved. I have 500mb coming in but only about 150mb after going through the extenders.
