We all learn lessons the hard way sometimes.
Looking back, what’s the single tip about routers, WiFi, or broadband that would have saved you hassle if you’d known it from day one?
Are you a fan of the good old “turn it off and turn it back on again”?
Or have you mastered something more challenging?

I wish that I’d discovered Google Nests earlier. Really easy to set up and improved broadband speeds around our house no end. And I can now work in the garden on sunny days.
All the technical talk about ‘meshing’ to improve wifi connectivity put me off for ages. But it was pretty much a case of taking them out of the box, plugging them in and connecting.
Up until that point there was definitely a lot of turning on and off again and finding places in the house that weren’t dead wifi spots.

I had no idea Nest things could help with broadband speeds - we were given a Nest hub as part of a purchase and loved it in the kitchen for music and timers until we got the black screen of death about 3 years in.
My tip is that Wifi is not always the way fo(rward). My fairly modern, pretty speedy laptop turned out to be notorious for a poor wifi widget (aerial? receptor? little gnome hidden behind the battery with a tiny satellite dish?). I was literally getting 1/10th of the speed I got on a 10 year old laptop, in line of site of the router. One ugly grey cable carefully laced under the sofa and a couple of rugs and all is well (as well as it gets on a Devon internet connection anyway - stable, which is the main thing).
