Hi all
Last week I upgraded from sky adsl unlimited to the fibre max with a new sky q router. I was using a very old sagem router before which seemed to need a reboot every week but worked in between, but for the last month swapped to a D6400 Netgear I had spare which worked fine.
Over the weekend just gone with the sky q router the wifi has been terrible, devices just stopping working even though they show wifi connected, slower speeds and just generally flaky performance. Putting them into airplane mode and back out seems to get them back working straight away but they should all just be working regardless.
I've now turned off the wifi on the sky q router and added back the D6400 Netgear in AP mode and got it all working ok so far. Wifi seems better and pretty much back to how it was for the last month. So it definitely seems it the sky q router with useless wifi built in.
The problem I now have is that we've also done a similar upgrade for my father in law moving from BT infinity to Sky Fibre and he's also got the same sky q router having the same wifi issues. From what I've found out with the D6400 it seems a new AP needs purchasing for him to get it working reliably so the question is really which one?
Netgear do the WAC120 802.11ac which I've actually used before which is about £65 and seems the natural choice, but they also have the WAC104 also 802.11ac for the same money, but does anyone else have any better options?
Thanks
