    Really,,,, unless you've resolved, it your extension wiring is "incorrecty" connected to the master socket as you couldn't get it to work with the correct wiring.... and you're router was connected to the extension wiring.....

    When you first connect a router to the broadband network, it starts slow for maximum stability and gradually gets faster over a period of days until it reaches the maximum stable speed. They call that training.

    When I reboot it in the morning




    Why are you rebooting a router daily ??


    Router rebooting itself could well be connection dropping > see Event LOG .
    Mine used to do just that due to line errors usually early hours of the moring .

    That sounds like it's trying to update the firmware and failing to me, give BT a call. They can run tests and check for you in moments rather than two dozen people on here all suggesting different fixes.


    Once or twice possibly but not every night

    I agree this does happen when you connect to broadband or change ISP for the first time but I have been with this supplier for many years

    Yes I spotted that. OP, when you say it reboots every night, does it actually reboot, or does it stay off until you reboot it next morning? Because if you are switching it off after the nightly reboot, that is part of the problem. If it reboots itself, it will have a chance to stabilise. I never turn off my router. If I leave the house for a holiday, it stays on.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    In order to get the speed back up after dropping down the previous night as stated.


    I have had in the past the connection dropping but it does not reboot it goes off then a minute or so later it comes back - no reboot.


    If yours did this how did you solve it?
