Help with Sky Wifi
Hi folks,
Seeking advice on my Sky wifi setup.
I'm now on a Sky hub coupled to a BT Openreach modem...if that's the right terminology.
All has been well since it was installed about a year ago, but this week, the signal appears to have dropped for no apparent reason. When I hover over my network connection icon, I'm now only seeing between 1 and 3 of the 5 bars, whereas previously, I was getting 5 bars all the time.
Nothing has changed physically...router in the same place, PC in the same place, no new add-ons, and also the IPad seems to be working fine.
Can anyone suggest how I can work out where the problem lies?
Thanks in advance...

is everything working OK? If it is, forget it. Its working......
the symptoms could be due to neighbours getting a new router or other gadget that clashes on frequency, yours is just reducing power to reduce the clash
but, if its working OK, its working. Leave alone.

Milo,
Was down from 15MB to 3MB, so not working ok...
However, IPad was fine, so assumed PC problem. Opened case, found internal aerial leads (one slightly damaged), pulled them through the case...and all good again!
So now that it is working...I'll leave alone.
