OK. Can you run that speed test on your sons laptop, connected by ethernet cable, and also re-run the BT Broadband test, using your phone number?

Thanks for the Availability checker, that kind of indicates you may have a slight problem in the BT network - the observed speed is below their estimates, but not by much.

Yes, sorry there is little more I can suggest at the moment. Hopefully when the PN Help Team get round to you they will run the KBD and RRT tests and post them up here - more for my curiosity than anything, and maybe they will be able to see things from their end that I can't see from the publicly available tests.

Hey @antonyR,
Thanks for providing these details so far and I'm sorry to hear that you've been having issues. Having run some tests on your line this afternoon, I haven't been able to detect any underlying fault conditions, with everything running as we'd expect it to. You'd pointed out in the original post that this was mainly an issue with your son's PS5 - are you connecting this to the router via Wi-Fi or over Ethernet cable?

@TheMightyAJ Just out of curiosity, what does the Radius report look like? The OP obviously lost connection in the early hours.

Thanks a lot for getting in touch @antonyR
The reason why we ask you to do wired speed tests when possible is because there's a difference between your sync speed (the line speed to the router), and your throughput speed (the speeds you're getting on your devices).
Throughput speed is generally lower than sync speed, especially when over a wireless connection. In terms of what you're paying for, your speed estimates are between 44 - 63Mbps.
Anyway, I've tested the line this morning, sync speeds are coming through at 61.5Mbps, with two drops in the last 7 days, so I don't reckon there's a fault with the Openreach network here, instead, I'd lean more towards wireless issues.
I'd be more than happy to make some changes to the settings on your router (split SSID's & run a smart wireless scan) if you'd like @antonyR? This will drop the connection for a moment though so I'd need the green light from you before I go ahead

Thanks @antonyR
I've just done my checks and can see that you already had your SSID's split, so no changes there. I also ran a smart wireless scan and can see that you were already o the best WIFI channel for your environment.
What I did notice though, is that you have around 20 devices currently connected to the 2.4GHz band on your router, you're best splitting these up. Static devices that are in the same room as your router are best on 5GHz, while mobile devices are best left on 2.4GHz.
