Sky Fibre Optic

Whats the deal with this poor router??? Cannot get any higer than 25Mbps on WiFi and Ethernet, paying for 40Mbps and it does sync at 39999 in the info page.

Rubbish rubbish and rubbish.......
 
Have you restarted the router? The info pages don't update the sync speeds until you reboot, so if you have had a new install it may be showing the line sync speeds from the day of go live when you had an open DLM profile, now the line has settled you may be achieving the speeds you're suppose to, however the router may be displaying the old stats. Reboot it and see if it still says 39999

Just a very poor show. Had Talk Talk full 80Mbps saw the full speed via WiFi and Ethernet using Wireless N equipment.

Dont get it, wish I never moved over.

Shouldnt really have to, not sure if this would solve the speed issue?

You shouldn't have to, the Sky router should give you full speeds, even on it's crappy 100mb ports, however you should want to switch to the Asus, they're superior in every single aspect and you'll find a lot of people in this thread have them.

I have my old Talk Talk Huawei HG533 router suppling the WiFi signal as it uses Wireless N and supported the full 80Mbps when on Talk Talk but only get 25Mbps with Sky, its connected up using Ethernet to the Fibre port on the HG533.

The Sky router is even slower, not too sure what to do really. Started off on the ADSL as it was free with the package I am on but upgraded to the 40/10 for £8 just dissapointed I am not getting the speeds I should :(
 
Both the SR101 and SR102 are both Wireless N routers, so why do you need the talktalk router for Wireless N?

Do you have a white SR101 connected to a white Openreach modem which goes to the master socket, or do you have the newer black SR102 which goes direct to the master socket?

If you're just piggybacking the talktalk router off the sky router for wireless, the ethernet cable from the sky router should NOT be going to the fibre/wan port on the talktalk router as that will be expecting a DHCP address from your ISP, it should just go in one of the 4 spare ports and setup purely as an access point (although sounds like you dont need it anyway)

I have the black SR102 that goes directly into the phone socket it was the self install kit.

The router only has options to run at 56G and 802.11b it does not have any settings for wireless N? Unless im missing something ha!!

Here's two of mine this morning. As expected after my call from them, the speed is on its way back up. Those are from my Time Capsule's 5GHz network, through a floor, length of a room and to my desktop that says it is connected at "450Mbps". Can download at a constant 4.8MB/s on Steam, so the speed things are about right. :)
 
Wtf is happening, it's been terrible for two days and I don't understand why. Some devices can connect, others can't, others get the limited connectivity.
But some devices connect and work, whilst others can't. Then it'll swap and those that were working stop, but others might connect properly. Then everything might work perfectly for a few hours and then rinse and repeat.

Tried pulling the plug on the router, but that hasn't worked.
Any ideas what's causing this? It's very random. Yesterday was extremely hot, thought that might be the issue. But it's over 5c colder today.

Edit - ok everything agreeing with each other now, no internet connection.

From the drop down for mode, leave it as auto, then the Wireless N is available

Ahhh silly me, well its set to Auto but the reason I use the HG533 modem as I have a USB HDD attached as a file sharing device, but the signal on the HG533 is much better as the Sky box does not reach my garden.

Does connecting it to the Fibre part on the HG533 hinder performance? I get no issues with DHCP issues.

Thanks for the help btw :)
