We have a situation where the house contains multiple adults and children all streaming, playing, generally living digital lives. Throughout the day and night, and often with a peak when everyone is online at once.
Our house has Bt Broadband, which keeps cutting out. They talk us through fixes, but every day it starts the orange flashing. The Sky TV box and the extender to a more distant room also keep dropping and requiring a reboot/reset on a daily basis.
So we are thinking big picture, take a step back and consider the best solution from the ground up.
What we need to think about is:
Broadband supplier - If we have multiple users, what should we look for in our supplier? Would we be better off considering a 'business' line or would cost be prohibitive? Would it even help, what with it just coming through the same landline?
Do we just need our own router as the main incoming device and put the supplied BT hub out to pasture?
Internal networking - presumably we need cat5 where possible instead of relying on wifi, but is there a good guide on residential rigging? Types of routers, repeaters, etc?
Have I missed any points here? Any advice would help us out.
