Hi all,
I am with Belong for ADSL2+ connection at home. On the router, which is the free one provided by Belong, it says my downstream is 17211kbps and I usually connect at around that speed.
However, I am experiencing slowdowns at peak times, from around 5pm till about 9pm, which renders my connection useless for video streaming. I did speed tests over the last few days and I get around 1mbps during peak times instead of around 15mbps usually.
My question is, do you also have this problem with your ISP or is this problem specific to Belong? For me, slow down during peak times is expected, but not to a point where video streaming is unuseable.
My second question is will getting a new ADSL modem like the TP-Link Archer solve this problem or at least make it better? What has been your experience?
Thank you in advance.
Do you have a wireless router?
Brother had same issue then found out a neighbour was downloading from his wifi network. Changed password and enabled WPA2-PSK
You can log onto your setup and check who is connected. if you find someone who shouldn't be there you can build better security. eg have only your computers Mac addresses can log on. Now nothing is 100% safe when using wifi, but you can make it much harder for them to connect.
