As said elsewhere I have finally managed to get internet restored to our cottage/gite using an AX10 wifi/ethernet router.
It sits on the first floor landing of our gite and testing my phone wifi alongside it, it appears to give 433mbps (is that possible?) However, in the bedrooms and down in the lounge and kitchen that drops dramatically to about 11mbps. The cottage has thick walls and a VERY thick concrete metal strutted first floor which is designed to hold the outer walls from falling outwards. So I can understand the drop off in speed. Does this matter? Will our guests be able to do what they want on their phones with that type of speed? Most of them seem to use their phones to whatsapp.
Is there anything I can do to increase the speed?
Those numbers all sound feasible and thick walls and floors can easily diminish WiFi speeds substantially. WhatsApp should be fine at those speeds and fairly low definition video streaming should be fine at 1Mbps, just don’t be trying 4k video.
If you find that you need to increase it then powerline WiFi extenders or a mesh network might help.
such as these Amazon.fr which we have. You plug the sender (the one with the plug and socket) into your router and the power supply and the receiver into a socket on another floor.
PS, can I just check, in the set-up you have highlighted on Amazon. Is it just one sender and one receiver? We could do with two receivers - lounge and kitchen
I’m never quite sure I understand single versus three phase (is that what you mean Brian?) but I think the gite is a single phase. I’m assuming this does not refer to the array on the board itself. The board has three rows of circuit breakers and obviously the sockets upstairs are on a different row to the ones down in the lounge and the kitchen.
