Broadband dropping out since access point installed

I've just put in a TP Link wireless access point. Since then my broadband keeps dropping fir 10 seconds then reconnecting.

 

I've spoken with TP Link and they've checked all the settings and deemed it ok.

 

any thoughts? Anything I need to do with sky router ?

 

cheers

Is the broadband dropping or just the wireless for the TP-Link access point?

 

If it is wireless for the access point then changing the channel to anything other than channel 36 on the 5Ghz band will help, and also confirming the channel used for the 2.4Ghz band doesn't overlap with Sky wireless router.

Thank you. Are they changes I need to make with the Sky router? 

cheers

The only change for the Sky router that may be useful is to reduce the width of the 5 GHz wireless band by 40Mhz, channels on the 5Ghz band cannot be changed to anything other than the lower 36 to 44 band A.

 

If you can move the wireless access point to band B or C on 5Ghz (above channels 100) then that would make the greatest benefit with reference to wireless interference.
