Bad wireless connection with UPC Technicolor TC7200

Tony EH

Is there any way to make the wireless signal output more consistent or stable with this modem? (TC7200)

What I mean is, is there any settings that I can change to perhaps reduce the speed of the wireless output, but make the signal more stable? Or just make the signal more stable?

The reason I ask, is that I have a lot of drops when downloading, or streaming anything and sometimes even basic pages can take quite a while to load. It actually makes the wireless option kind of pointless.

If I do a speedtest (speedtest.upc.ie), it usually comes in at around 20 - 25mb (I'm on a 50mb connection), but the actual downloading packet can stop a number of times before the download completes. In other words, that little red ball going from the earth graphic to the little man graphic stops moving, sometimes two or three times in the one test. Often the Upload test simply fails to execute.

I live in a small house, so distance is not the issue. This problem happens when I am in the same room and with all three of my laptops.

It didn't happen with my old Technicolor TG582 modem, the signal from that was always strong and stable.

I have the same issues. The hardware is cheap and terrible. I raised the issue with UPC (downloads stalling) in the Talk To forum and they're useless. We're getting Sky when our contract is up, UPC don't care about customer satisfaction anymore.
