I turned off the VF wifi boosters as it was hampering wifi performance across all nodes, as if there was some sort of load balancing/speed limiting going on. Since they were removed the expected speeds have returned. But as you say, it's at the expense of a poorer signal.
I may, reluctantly, look into replacing the router with my own to improve wifi coverage without using boosters of any kind.
I am beginning to wonder if there are capacity problems emerging here, I mean, why re route my connection via Manchester? Is it too congested via London?
Rebooting the ONT and router had no effect whatsoever - I saw packet loss earlier on the BQM.
I also reconnected several times to get new IP addresses and they still route via Manchester.
All due to a supposedly dodgy ethernet cable between the router and ONT?
Still, I'll give it a go anyway, I needed a long ethernet cable anyway. And apparently that's what needs to be done in order for this to be escalated to CityFibre!
