Question Need help/advice

[dom.phillips]

Have recently switched from BT to EE Wi-Fi, and so had to move the router from one end of the house (the room next to my office) to the other end of my L shaped house. I have been having high latency and packet loss ever since, I have a wired connection from my router to my PC and other wired devices in here (Xbox etc.) using a pair of power adapters. Now, I bought a Wi-Fi booster to extend the connection to my phone and I placed it directly in-between the router and my office, and then plugged 1 of the 2 power adapters into the booster and the other directly next to my setup to try and remedy the unstableness and latency issues, this has since improved the stability, however latency is still incredibly high (average of 210 MS), is there anything else I could do to reduce my latency and packet loss ? Is a secondary booster necessary ?

Any advice appreciated, thanks

You are still running a wifi connection is your problem. All you did was convert your ethernet connection into a wifi connection. Using powerline adapters in the path just makes things more complex but you are still have a wifi connection in the path also.

Best if you could somehow find a way to get a ethernet cable all the way to the router. If you have coax cables you can consider MoCA.

What you want to do is put one power line unit near the router and the other in the room near your pc. That should give you a connection with very stable latency. If you want wifi in the remote room you likely can run your so called "booster" in AP mode and plug that into the same switch that you have all your other devices plugged into.

okay so after a bit of testing the issue has flipped around, latency and packet loss are at a minimum, but the stability is faulty, works usually for an hour or two and then incredibly slow/ no internet for a half hour before it fixes itself somehow. After a day or two of usage, download speeds are plummeting, avg download speeds of 10 mbps, highs of 16 lows of 3
