Broadband speed slow and keeps dropping

For the past few months I have nothing but issues with my broadband.

all my typical use has remained the same.

i am having to get my kid to come off utube just to download a film downstairs?

On top of this we are having issues with just the reliability of having the internet in the first place.

 

I have tried every step on troubleshooting multiple times no luck.

HELP!!

Thank you

@Michellerose  Those are not your router stats, the image cannot be shown as it shows your external IP, please follow the steps in the link posted to the very end.

@MichelleroseWhat does the broadband test say when you run it. Can see that there was a drop in the connection as you only have just over 79 hours uptime on the connection.

 

Can you please run the broadband test, this can be done either via the Sky app on mobile data or use the link below.

If it finds an external fault it should enable you to book an engineer.

  sky test always says the same but anytime I do a external test in this example with which I am getting no where near what sky are saying? 

I have not been given any option to book engineer.

@MichelleroseAre you able to run a speed test with a wired device or are all of your devices wireless?

@Michellerose 

Have you tried changing your WiFi channels to see if your problem is related to congested channels?
