I was guaranteed a minimum speed of 35 Mbps and am getting 37 Mbps over Ethernet but like a lot of customer i am stuck at 22 Mbps over Wi-Fi (see long thread below) am i therefore entitled to request a move back to ADSL as i was getting 12 - 13 Mbps over Wi-Fi.

No
Guarantees are generally around the connection speed, rather than throughput be that Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
It seems odd to be complaining of slow Wi-Fi speeds at 22 Mbps and asking if entitled to drop back to ADSL2+ which would be slower.
a) have you got the DLink router yet?
b) have you tested with all other Wi-Fi routers in range turned off, and other potential 2.4 GHz interfering devices?

Thanks, i had a feeling no would be the answer.
It seems odd to be complaining of slow Wi-Fi speeds at 22 Mbps and asking if entitled to drop back to ADSL2+ which would be slower.
The reason i am asking about going back to ADSL is i haven't seen that much of a benefit other than on my PC (Ethernet) of moving to faster fibre and as we only have one PC but many wi-fi connected gadgets i would quite happily lose a bit of spped and save some money.
a) have you got the DLink router yet?
No but having read many posts about it i have a feeling its not going to give a higher speed. (i will be happy to be proved wrong)
b) have you tested with all other Wi-Fi routers in range turned off, and other potential 2.4 GHz interfering devices?
Yes i was the only person in the house the afternoon i was testing and i tried 2.4GHz and 5GHz and several other things listed below, the questions are from one of the community stars.
Have you tested different wireless channels?
YES.
Have you renamed both SSID's for 2.4 and 5 GHz -
YES.
Have you removed anything close to the phone that could interfere -
YES - my DECT phone.
What is the WiFi config set to on your HG633, are you using a short guard interval? If not you should be.
I tried both several times and it made no difference.
One other point how many devices do you have connected to each band & what WiFi mode do they support (e.g. 802.11b/g/n/ac). I'm sure it is not the case, but are any of these transmitting/receiving data (including the wired connections) whilst you carry out a wireless speed test?
When i have been testing the only thing using the wi-fi is my phone my PC which i mainly use is connected using Ethernett. (i was not using the PC when testing)
Does your mobile support 80MHz channels?
I don't know if my mobile supports 80MHz channels.
Do you have any other way of testing wifi performance with a different device ?
I have tested using several phones a laptop and two tablets the maximum test speed i have got was 24.66 (a one off) they are generally around 21 Mbps.

Well if happy to lose upload and download speed then you can ask for a downgrade, whether it would be granted is another matter, I doubt it.
If an ISP is making a reasonable attempt to send out other hardware for testing, then it would be very unusual for them to do anything before you've given them a chance to try the different hardware

I am happy to give them the chance to sort this but having read many threads on the poor HG633 and D-LINK 3782 Wi-Fi speeds i am not holding my breath, do you think its a coincidence that so many members are saying the same in that they cannot get speeds above 22 Mbps even when their Ethernet tests are much higher.
Below are just a few quotes on the subject -
I've been having problems with the router since I first got it. Over ethernet there is no problem, but the WiFi is terrible.
Both my son's phone and mine will not work over WiFi, both are different makes so it's not a problem with the phone.
We are lucky to get 20mbps down over wifi when will easily get 40mbps over ethernet.
My father had the same router but replaced his with a Draytek unit and now miraculously he gets WiFi all over his house at twice the speed of the TalkTalk router.
When are TalkTalk going to acknowledge that there is a serious problem with the routers?
---------------
My HG633 seems incapable of a download throughput on WiFi of anything more that the high 20's
It has been like this since the day it was installed
-------------
I get around the 20 Mbps myself, and it's frustrating to even watch a 720p YouTube video, let alone a 480p one aha - WiFi is just terrible with this new "Super" Router.
-------------
I currently have a HG633 router with firmware versions V1.22t. My download speed varies from 8 to 20Mbps when connected wirelessly.
------------
I have had to turn my router off again this morning for 45 mins as the connection speed was very slow. On running a speed test using supportal-test.co.uk after turning back on the download speed was 5.46Mbps and upload was 3.69Mbps. The best that I ever get is arround 20Mbps on a line where i was informed that i could get about 35Mbps.

ISP supplied routers don't always provide the best wifi coverage/speeds, in this case it might be worth spending some cash on a half decent router such as a Billion 8800NL, TPlink VR600 or VR900 etc. If you want the very best then go for a Billion 8900AX, TPlink VR2800 or Asus DSL-AC88U - obviously these aren't cheap but quality often costs.
|
|
|

Thanks i would love to do that but don't want to spend a hundred pounds on a new router i want to show everyone that reads the TT forum there is a problem with the HG633 and not to be fobbed off with luck something might get done.
I am convinced they know there is a problem with the HG633 and are obviously not letting on as there would be an uproar if the truth came out.
They could save themselves a lot of grief if they said Faster Fibre guaranteed 35 Mbps but Wi-Fi speeds will vary depending on customers set up (or something similar)
|
|
|
Is TalkTalk shipping the HG633 to customers now? If yes, then I'll repeat so evidence of widespread numbers of users having a speed cap

Wi-fi conditions are in most cases peculiar to the property where the device is installed and out of the control of any ISP. You've repeatedly posted links to a review of the router which show that it's capable of Wi-Fi speeds considerably in excess of any internet connection supplied by TalkTalk

Whilst you have stated that you have ensured that other WiFi devices were not operational in your house, have you considered other devices such as microwave cookers etc which operate in the same 2.4 GHz band, plus the possibilities of WiFi etc in neighbouring properties?

If you google HG633 wi-fi speed problem there are numerous thread about it, i assume there are less than you would expect is when they guarantee a minimum speed and say test using Ethernet when customers see they are getting the speed they are guaranteed they assume the wi-fi will be the same and don't bother to test it.

Just for testing purposes, popped out my HG633.
Wifi Signal: -47RSSI
Transmit Rate: 650Mbps
Channel: 36
Realworld transfer speed: 3.0Mb/s
Comparatively Sky Q Hub, Same location and environment. Same laptop used for testing. Same NAS drive for file transfer.
Wifi Signal: -50RSSI
Transmit Rate: 780Mbps
Channel: 36
Realworld transfer speed: 41Mb/s
Both are using Windows 10. Wireless AC only. Transfering from a HP NAS Networked via ethernet drive, to a windows 10 machine connected over WiFi situation 2m from router.
In the absence of users on this forum testing the HG633 I ask people to reserve judgement, certainly I have 3 routers (HG633), and have been between 2 properties, where it is the same in both environments. I note the performance is poor, but it does burst sometimes in speed.

I know i am repeating myself but I have tested several different devices on a clear channel (wi-fi analizer) on 2.4 and 5 GHz and like many other i cannot get above 22Mbps, the graph below from the review shows what a POS this router is compared to others, many members have posted the HG635 was a much better router and it gave much better Wi-Fi speeds.

I have tested both 2.4 and 5 MHz and while the 2.4 channels are a little congested the 5 is not, all my tests were performed with everything turned off and i was the only one in the house, i even turned off the DECT phone on advice of the moderator on the TT forum.

While we suggest connect via Ethernet we see a large amount of people on mobile/tablets which must be Wi-Fi so if the HG633 was say used by 1 in 4 TalkTalk FTTC customers, we'd expect to be able to see the issue
Not saying you are not seeing what you are seeing at all, but that overall is does not appear to be a major issue unless you are affected and what no-one knows is how many people are using the HG633 anymore

A couple of members over at the TT forum have maybe found the reason for what i thought was a cap and as i know nothing about this i will post it here to see what you think -
As you know I have tested the wi-fi using 3 phones, two tablets and a laptop, the phones and one of the tablets are using Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n i haven't checked the others but as they are older i assume they are the same, i have been told 22 Mbps is a decent speed for 802.11 a/b/g/n and i guess therefore there is no point in trying another router. (not that i have been offered one yet)
|
|
|
Well yes if the devices are using are actually only b/g/n then the speed is reasonable 802.11a which can use 5 GHz should be better but if you have older devices with just b/g/n/a its possible their a was early standard and may not perform that well.
i.e. testing the devices on another known well performing connection is a good idea, or naming the models and others will say.
2.4GHz 802.11n should go faster, but again it varies from device to device.

I have found 5GHz gives the highest result on all devices that can see it (my wifes phone is old and cannot see it in available connections) i would still like to try the TT supplied D-link router i mentioned earlier but as yet my thread has not been answered by the OCE's.
I posted this a few minutes ago -
I am not sure what i changed but when i put it back to the orignal settings i started to get these speeds, (i think the low one was on 4G) this is in my kitchen with two walls between me and the router.

I changed a few settings in the router following instructions in the TT forum then switched them back to the default ones.
The phone is a Motorola moto G4 - http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_g4-8103.php

Finding people saying they are getting slow speeds on G4 phones over Wi-Fi so might be two poor devices
Mid range phones are not renowned for best wi-fi speeds, the top performing devices tend to be the latest iPhones and high end Androids

It isn't in my opinion.
I'm iPhone 7, MacBook Pro 2014 retina, Lenovo t460s, iPad Pro.
Same sorts of issue whenever I use that device. I don't have a live Talktalk connection to test with so basing it on internal network transfer rates / setting up the hg633 as an access point.
Edit: I actually am on a friends talktalk.

Thanks for your help, so your phone can use 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and yet you can only get 21Mbps, as you say very interesting.
I have been looking at several threads about slow wifi when using the HG633 and this is from a community star at the TT forum.
https://community.talktalk.co.uk/t5/Fibre-Broadband/...
Hi @andy555
Michelle has asked me to help you.
There has been quite a bit of criticism of the HG633 as far as wireless performance is concerned, this is generally made up of these issues:-
Wireless errors - this is simply a red herring. It is a bug in the router's firmware that affects the way these errors are recorded. Whilst due to the very nature of the way WiFi works, it will never be totally error free, people wrongly assume that this affects the speed.
Its WiFi performance is not as good as some routers, I would not try to deny that.
The vast majority of WiFi problems can be vastly improved though by optimising the router, to get the best performance out of it.
Some WiFi adapters in the WiFi connected devices, do not allow the best performance from the router to be utilised.
I can help with points 3 & 4 here.

Admire your perseverance mate but in all honesty you're peeing in the wind getting TT to admit the HG633 isn't fit for purpose (wrt wifi perfomance). It might be far less stressful just to buy an el-cheapo HG635 on eBay for £20 which is supposed to be better than their HG633.

I can whole-heartedly say the HG635 is my favourite ISP supplied router to-date, for reference I have tried the following:
Sky DG934G, Sky Hub SR101, Sky Hub SR102, Sky Q Hub, BT Homehub 4, 5 and 6, Virgin Superhub 1, Superhub 2AC, Superhub 3, TalkTalk Huawei HG533, HG633, HG635
Outside of ISP routers:
DG834G, DG834GT, D6400, Nighthawk (exact model not sure), DGN2000, D6200,
TP-Link
A whole bunch
Belkin Routers
A whole bunch
Pros of HG635, never self-reboots or needs rebooting, has good QOS if you go via the advanced URL link, can support 30+ devices connected at once, has better range than all ISP supplied routers I have tried (yes even the fancy new BT Smart Hub where Ryan Reynolds gets on his helecopter in the ad lol), has great 5Ghz transfer rates (300Mbps+), it gets 1080P streams to my devices @2.4Ghz where my BT SmartHub struggles to get 480P. It really is a set it and forget it kinda router, it just works, and works flawlessly.

Cost perhaps.
With their reputation i would have though upsetting more customers was the last thing they would want, to say you get a guaranteed minimum connection speed then when you have signed up for an 18 month contract you find its only guaranteed when using Ethernet stinks as they know the majority of us use wi-fi for most devices i bet the majority of customers don't connect anything by Ethernet and the only time the cable comes out is when they need to run speed tests..
|
|
|
|
100% cost the 633 does not have gigabit ports for instance.
As soon as they brought out the 633 they gave it to all customers even those on ADSL. Previously only fibre customers got a 635 and others a 533.

Fair enough - but the average consumer won't want to/wont think to do that - they will just see Guarantee of 55mbps and go order it. When they can't get that, it'll be a battle with Sky.

That's a very good question. If it's not even based on Ethernet speed then (to me) it seems pointless

I agree that distance and walls etc are going to be a factor in what wi-fi speed you get but getting just over half the guaranteed speed sat 3 feet away from the router is not acceptable, my argument is not so much about the speed i am getting its that many are saying it is the router that is limiting it, time will of course tell when i get the HG635.
|
|
|
Based on connection speed and point is if thats below 55 Mbps you can opt to drop to a 55/10 product and pay a little less each month and get the setup fee refunded, or go elsewhere.
Alas what will encourage more onto a faster service is what Vodafone have done i.e. up to 76 Mbps that is cheaper now than many providers up to 38 Mbps

Here are the head to head results -
Both router stats for line quality were nearly identical at 39997 down and 9995 up and both test results over Ethernet were also very close.
HG633 - https://eigde79682.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage...
HG635 - https://eigde79682.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage...
A 6Mbps increase over the HG633 is not to be sniffed at and as i don't have any devices that will work on 802.11ac and don't intend to upgrade any time soon it'll do for me, i also prefer the design and smaller size.

I am mainly using a Motorola Moto G4 but i have used a couple of tablets and other phones, all have given roughly the same speeds.
This is faster fibre - Unlimited, uncapped with speeds up to 38Mb my guaranteed minimum was 35Mbps using Ethernet.

On your G4 try turning off Bluetooth and WIFI scanning and retest the WIFI speed.

I never have Bluetooth on and i cannot seem to find a setting to turn WIFI scanning off.

I have been sent a D-link 3782 to test as the HG633 was giving me poor rersults using Wi-fi then later Ethernet, the Ethernet speeds are roughly the same as when i first moved to faster fibre at 37Mbps but the Wi-fi is much faster -
