New Router

bsod

what are the speeds on the router, who is the isp, what is the router

do you have extension wiring

miss_corerupted

No extension straight into the master socket

Fuel is the ISP but I think its a sub company of Tiscali (?)

The router is ZyXel.

How do check the router speeds please?

No just normal broadband at the mo. Last time I looked it was £60ish although I see it has come down a lot since then

yes, but do any extensions exist, if they do, then it could affect the speed when you aren't using the test socket

No extensions at all. They never had them when we moved in and never bothered putting any in

bsod

so no ring wire?

Thank you everyone for helping me

No just the two cables. Is it worth changing the pair?

bsod

no, (I'm referring to the cabling inside the piece of plastic you've just pulled out of the master socket, not external to it)

Thanks. I followed the instructions seems there had been something go wrong with the routers. Just done another speed test.

2.3 d/l
0.9 u/l

an improvement but still not amazing. I think I will look at fibre as suggested. Hopefully it will help.
