Poor Speed to hub

melaine2 — Mon, 08 Apr 2024 21:16:54 GMT

Have been having problem with downloads for last 4 days. Sky Broadband checker says 'poor speed to hub'. In this case 20Mb/s when the adverised minimum is 50Mb/s here. Downloading from Steam is giving me times of 1 day + for completion! I contacted Sky Help this evening and the result line testing by themselves and third party options is they will be sending me a new hub. I'm no expert, but surely a new hub is still going to be receiving 'Poor Speed'?

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Hi Chrisee,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Followed instructions to the letter....got to router page ...but cannot open Maintance Tab.....won't accept my Username and/or Password. I am using the Wireless Name and Password on the card supplied with the router. I haven't changed these , they are what I signed in with when I re-installed Windows 10 some nights ago with no problem.

Regards,

Melaine

You require the admin password, not the wifi one. Should be on the rear of the hub..

Hi, I've had the same. Apparently if you have their black router then a new one makes no difference. What does is having an engineer to install full fibre cables to the house, but be prepared to wait time delayed and quoted was a month!
