it could be the neighbour even, try switching new router off and on again after 5pm when you having issues, hopefully it selects a different channel.

Will do. Yeah I’m definitely going to check around 5pm again and see what happens. Have turned the older router off for the day and honestly the speed is already better than a normal day in the room I’m in so here’s to hoping it all works out. Appreciate the help
I know this might be hetic but try changing your wifi password, like wingnut771 said that it could be your neighbour maybe he hacked you, that's the fastest way and also set your wifi password to WPA2/psk
Already on WPA2 at the moment. If the problem persists I can try changing the WiFi password but I’ll only know later today if it happens again at the exact same time. Definitely a possibility though
Sounds like a device thats on your network that's doing torrents after 5pm. But that fing app that I said will help you as it is quiet in depth and it picks up rogue devices on your network.
Yeah it’s definitely something specific going to check that app out in a little bit and then will run a test if it happens again vs what it looks like normally during the day

they normally do a scan when you switch them on, so do them one at a time.
Some feedback on my Chromecast dongle casting quality/buffering issue.
Connected the dongle with ethernet and it ran smoothly again, so definitely an issue with the wifi connection via the supplied D-Link router and not the internet service itself. Will do further testing and report back.

Pure fibre is definitely not throttled. Is your connection better today?
@AfriFella any feedback at all RE the EU latency issues?

Thats not going to help, sh*tty firmware is the cause of the wifi dropouts. You can read all about it in glorious machine-english over here
What Speeds do you have?

not better, still random buffering, but i've learned not to throw the baby out with the bath water, so will ride it out during the free period and see if it improves.Ok, we'll hold on to your line in that case.

Complaining about the same thing but Afrihost does not want to change the router to a different model. Have made several attempts at convincing their support that it is an issue, but to no avail.
Started with the 25/25 package on MF, got about 27/27.
Bumped up to the 100/100 to test for this month, but the speeds are varied.
Just got 90/104 with a 4ms ping.
