Poor Wifi at home

For a long time now my wifi at home has been poor. Quite often it’s ok for the first minute of using social media or online shopping then it won’t work and I have to switch device to 4G. Doesn’t matter the time of day. This is with iPhone 11 and iPad. I’ve tried switching off and on with router and devices, clearing caches, removing and loading apps etc but nothing works and it’s getting really tiresome now.

The router is in my living room ground floor plugged into master socket. About 5ft from me using my mobile and or lap top. 

I’ll see if I can find something to plug into it. 

not sure where to find the DSL log in. Managed to download the EE app and ran that speed test. It asked to take a photo of the bar codes then said something went wrong. 

I posted the BT line check and the speed test further up the thread. 

where do I find a DSL log in? Is it on my EE account? 

thanks

  1. Do you have a landline with a landline no.?
  2. Please do the speedtest I requested.
  3. I haven't seen from you the BTw Availability Checker results I requested if that's what you mean by "BT line check".
