Hi all,
I live in a shared house in London, there are 7 of us living here. Last year I replaced my BThome hub with the TD-W9970 in order to set an upload restriction on my line (any upload would tank the net for everyone connected). The TD-W9970 solved this problem, however this following problem was added instead:
With the BThome hub, despite the uploading issue, everyone in the house could connect to the router fine and didn't experience disconnects or low speed. With the TD-W9970, those connected wirelessly consistently see very poor internet speeds (0.20mbps), and often booted off the network. Sometime's it's okay, othertimes it's not. I have tried using WiFi Analytics to switch to the best channel, and sometimes this helps - but it often doesn't. I've tried disabling the bandwidth restriction entirely to see if that helps, and it doesn't. We weren't experiencing these problems with the BThome hub, and I can only blame the TD-W9970. Could it be because the TD-W9970 is 2.4ghz only? Another housemate complained that he couldn't get signal when in our garden, where as with the Homehub he could.
So my question is, what would be a better router to upgrade to, anyone have any personal recommendations? I am happy to spend a bit of money on this.
