We have been stuck with a bt home hub 4 for about 8 years.. I finally decided to 'upgrade' to a TP-Link wifi 6 router based on some of the threads I found from this community from google. I connect my computer via ethernet powerline and only really achieved 3-5 mbps when downloading games off steam. Although my connection is slow it still played 1080p youtube videos and was a somewhat stable connection.
It's now down to under 1mbps with the TP-Link router. I also bought a TP-Link wifi adapter which kept disconnecting and I ended up returning it as it is useless. I tried to get support from TP-Link but they were not helpful. I have tired TP-Link products in the past such as powerline and wifi adapters and they have all been rubbish, I just assumed that a router would have improved the connection. It has actually made every device in the house connection worse and some of them can't even connect. My desktop can only play 720p videos on youtube now.
I have FTTP.
Is there a better router anyone can recommend than a TP-Link product or should I just buy a cheap BT Smart home hub 2 off ebay to see if staying with BT product helps? My main goal is to be actually able to download steam games at more than 1mbps, as it takes 2-3 days of downloading before I can actually play it.
