Hi
Would appreciate some help please- Eircom is our wireless broad provider. The service is patchy- i.e. on going issues re the capacity of the eircom modem/line to provide fast internet acccess/download speed to service a laptop/2 iphones/an ipad in a 2 strorey house of 2000sq ft. about 1.5 miles from the eircom exchange.
Coverage is ok close to the modem but poor as you move away from this point.An eircom engineer tested the signal strength at the phone socket. Our eircom package is for 'up to 8mg'. the engineer says we have 5mg at the socket and told me this was more than adequate- but it isn't! almost impossible to download YouTube stuff and download speeds on apps etc is 'awful to alright' depending on where in the house you happen to be. Frustrasted beyond belief and having done all the usual stuff re changing channels on the modem/ using a different socket/etc as advised by Eircom helpline.I purchased a Netgear N600 Modem Router for 129 euro as I was told that my modem was the issue. I am trying to set this up and abandon the Eircom modem- but finding it impossible-has anybody had the same problem? how did you manage to overcome it? Thanks
