Advice for Eir customer

    I have Eir router (F3000) and Eir TV. I have a lot of wireless devices, Sonos Speakers, mobile devices and most recently a ring.com doorbell. Now despit me putting a TP Link AV 500 powerline adapter as close as possible to the doorbell, the wifi single is still not strong enough. So now thinking -

    1. Set up a Mesh Network, e.g. the Google one or this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07XSBGP7G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9UnQEbRF30S3F I think I'd leave the router still set up for the TV but put everything else on the mesh network.

    2. Other option is get a better powerline adapter

    Any suggestions, much appreciated.

    Note don't have fibre but not fibre to the home. Download speeds in house are 75 Mbps and Upload 2- Mbps.

    How many wireless devices in total do you have? There is a limit of around 16 on most Eir Routers

    Sorry for the stupid question, I've probably missed something, but what use is the powerline to the doorbell? The powerline is a physical cable and the doorbell is wireless, unless the powerline is 1 of those fancy ones which is a wifi repeater as well I don't think it would be much use.

    If everything is OK except for the doorbell I'd be looking at the 2.4ghz network in the house, you might be sharing a channel with a neighbour or have something interfering with it, change it to another channel and see how you get on.
