    Start with the tests you have already done see if there is any difference


    be unusual to have two faulty Network interfaces.


    As you will probably have wifi and wired on your devices, good idea to disable one of them to test the other


    for LAN  network speed tests google throws up loads of options

    All tests finally done and all results pretty well the same.
    Started at my normal 'workstation'
    ........Ping - Up - Down
    Wifi - 32 - 29 - 2

    Then moved router up into the attic where the signal comes in direct from the dish
    ........Ping - Up - Down
    Wifi - 24 - 29 - 2
    Wired - 20 - 29 - 2

    Would you suggest that the wiring throughout the house is satisfactory?

    We now have the TP Link extender in the bedroom which seems to give a better signal upstairs

    Is there much else we can do?
