I've got a new job and new laptop and bear with me, I am not techy.
Internet works fine and I hardwire using an Ethernet cable.
however I cannot connect to my work VPN, forticlient - when I click it it goes up to 90% and then turns off.
I know it works because I've used it on other WiFi not at home.
Also I can use teams for messaging but as soon as I go on a call it freezes and then drops - it will connect and I get to say hello and then it drops.
Before Xmas and in my previous job I had similar issues and my IT Team sorted it by logging on to my Pc but I have no idea what they did.
Current IT Team is saying they think it is a setting on my router but they can't connect to my PC remotely to look at it.
I've tried rebooting router - no change.
I've taken all settings off shield - no change.
help please!!! I need to be able to work from home a couple of days a week.

There is an issue with some VPNs and the white Sky hubs but that does notcaffect the black variety. I would escalate the issue with your IT support as it is unlikely you are the only useron a Sky connection but its worth turning off Sky's Broadband Shield to see if that resolves the issue - the setting is in the My Sky app.
